Looking for specs on 91 850i

Looking for specs on 91 850i. Engine size, HP and etc....
I've been looking a beater and just found mint white 91 with 110,000miles.

Thats one hell of a beater

[Josh]

For the 91:

5.0 Liter V-12

296 hp
332 tq

Not exactly the best car for a beater, especially with so many miles. The maintenance on the higher mileage 850s is very high and parts for them are becoming hard to find. Remember the car cost nearly $100k new, so expect to pay '$100k car' prices when maintaining it.

Yah, I think I'm gonna stick with E36...
I just came across one while searching for M3 and I thought it was interesting. And, I guess 850i was the lowest version of E31 model...

They were and are expensive as hell. They are extremely fast cars if they're going straight so they could get the room they need. If you put a supercharger on them, get ready to be smoked BBQ. I was about to sell my car for one, and I might...

1/4 mile in only 14.4 seconds? How much does it weigh??? Must be a pig. Awesome car though, you hardly ever see them.

For copmplete specs on all the 850s go to www.e31.net This guyy does a beautiful job of organizing everything there is on these cars. I am thinkig about dumping my 540 and getting one of the CSi's. There is one in France that only has 29,000 miles on it and is being sold for $45,000 delivered here. The cars look great and go well for their weight. The CSi was especially nice. Dinan makes a lot of stuff for them, including the supercharger.
