i keep having unheathy feelings about a car :x: keep dreaming that ive sold the zed and bought a new car and ime starting to get worried over increasing fondness for a bmw 850i :confused: ive tried but cant find a good enough reason to not want one

Mmmmm I always fancied one since my boss had one new years ago ;)

4k for a gearbox would...in fact did put me off!

The discussion not long back probably started you off again! :D

S'pose the only reason I can see is expense if 'owt goes wrong,then again you got a z,so used to that! :smw:

yea i love em

being a BMW is good enough reason not to want one, but they are an awesome looking vehicle, and twice as much to run than the zed

Expensive, but fooking lovely.

Nice motors and I fancied one until I was in a BMW workshop one day and noticed an 850 getting engine work done I was told the owner had just bought it from a market and on the road home the engine blew, he had paid 15000 grand for the car, a new engine was being fitted as this was going to work out cheaper than the cost of the require repairs

 

price of engine 15000 grand :shock: fook that Ill stick with the Z

Let me know what day and time, I may be able to drive a bit of the way to meet you.

As for the 850, also a car I have looked at in the past with a view to buying so cant blame you for having such thoughts.

I rate beemers, my 525 tourer almost has 220,000 miles on the clock and still pulls like a train. I've not heard all that much about the 850 though? They don't look cheap to maintain, worse than a zed?? I guess you get a decent interior which would be a nice change to Jap cars! Are they all tiptronic automatics? I can't see anything else on autotrader.

Awesome car at a now affordable price to buy........... running costs are a different story..

My cousin had the 840 and it never failed to turn heads......... a future classic........ :bow:

Isn't the later 840 V8 the one to have? I heard the V12 850 engines were pants. The company that made my body kit do one for the 8 series -

I think of a good reason......its inferior in almost every way to the zed. There :)

 

It is infact pretty much regarded as Bmw's worst car, in marketing & sales terms at least. A very disapointing replacement to the original 6 series.

eeerrrrr ok!!!! as a mile munching fast cruiser i dont think a zed could come near one in terms of comfort,road presence,and mid-range torque :bow: as a sports car and sunday morning wake-up blast then give me my zed running 16-17psi anyday.

mmmmmmmm decisions,decisions :headvswal

I've thought about it - and the 840i.

 

 

Running costs could be a right crippler.
