Default Another 850CSi I'd give a nut for..

You'll remember the purple 850CSi I posted a few months back. While this one has twice the mileage - its still just so gorgeous and well kept. I've never understood the "collector" thing.. but damnit, if I were loaded I'd have a stable of these...

Ugh..

THIS car is my answer to the endless "what to buy" threads. Timeless. Awesome.

Good photos in that ad! It looks in awesome condition for those miles. This is one of those models on my list as well. Prospective buyers need to know that one owner's club consensus a few years ago was to budget roughly $300 a month for repairs in addition to the way these machines eat rear tires.

I have always liked these car. So different from the rest of BMW's line up. That one is in amazing condition. Great color combo also. $300 a month for maintence is nuts though. Still gotta pay to play I guess.

They're around 43-4400lbs. Euro models have some differences and weigh more - 4WS.

A pretty face but too heavy and slow for my taste.

I drove one many years ago, and I gotta say, it was a boring POS to drive. Even an Accord is more fun and agile than that thing.
