Hey, if you can find an 8er with 50K on it, and well maintained, then by all means pick it. The 8er is a definitely unique car. You'll get a lot of looks if you were riding around in one, especially an 850ci or a csi. But I doubt you'll find an csi. If you are gonna pick the 8er, get the 850, nothing less, it makes a big difference.

e31's are really nice cars, but the v12's were nightmares to tune. they had one computer for each bank of cylinders, and calibrating them was a bitch. for that reason, i'd take an ///M

I love M3 (e36).. truly and forever.. but 850 is good too. It's a pleasure to drive and all. But I would probably still go with an M3.

I would take the 850csi, because the engine is from
the M-GmbH.
2 things in one car.

yeah, 380 horse power, 6 speed manual gear-box and LSD, accordingly the prices are high
..... 850i in good condition with individual equipment can satisfy too

850i. That car is very unique, and I have only ever seen two of them in my whole life. Not to mention the V12!
