Model history

The BMW 8 Series started in 1990 with the 850i model, which was powered by a powerful 5.0-liter V12 engine with 300 hp and was available with either a 4-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission. In the fall of 1993, the model received an update and was renamed the 850Ci. From October 1994, the newly developed 5.4-liter M73 V12 engine, which was also installed in the BMW 750i, was added. This further development brought an increased output of 326 hp and improved compression.
