F chassis bmw’s are the pinnacle of the ultimate driving machine. Nothing beats the driving dynamics, balanced weight distribution, Short wheel base, and nimble chassis of the f87 m2. It’s the closest thing to the nimble 3 series coupes of the past. But if Porsche is more your speed I don’t blame you, however get ready to dish out overs and take major losses on every purchase.

The only thing i would do is upgrade them to hid and have them open only about 70% of the way. This in the tuner scene is known as a "lazy eye" mod. It is also in dire need of a great but subtle exhaust system. It is not only being choked but also that engine needs to be heard man. I would of course keep all the original stuff.

we used to have one in the 90s bought it when it was a year old. all Black, and most were automatics. Taking a buisiness trip to Frankfurt, just about 400 km distance in regularily under 2 h. After arriving, you felt like you had just come from a relaxed road trip, didnt break a sweat; very little noise even when hitting the top speed of 250 kph. Thats what this car was made for, no spectacular sports car vib. The same trip with a 1999 Porsche 996 (911) in pretty much the same time I arrived feeling like I came from the race track. Loved the Porsche, but it just felt so great speeding, and each day I wondered if cops would take my drivers licence or if I would still have it at the end of the day :)

@StragTacGaming 3 ай бұрын

I wonder how quiet it is relative to other BMWs of the era. Does it sit somewhere between an E39 and an E38 in that regard?

@jorgbo3909 3 ай бұрын

the 850 was the replacement of the 6 series, which was at its time a great car. Developement cost of the 850 surpassed the 1 000 000 000 marks (about 400 000 000 Dollars at the time) being the most expensive, which included lots of new technology later added to other models. At the time, they were cut of at a top speed of 250 kph. Tires, if I remember correctly had an Index of ZR, meaning they were rated for vehicles going faster than 240 kph; they had a very smoth ride, so, again, at the time it was probably the most silent (sports) car of the era. Other cars had soundsystems that adjusted the volume according to the noise the speed was producing, making them louder; I dont believe that ever happened in the 850. Are tires with the High speed indes, Z , W, ZR even sold in the US or elswhere? Wouldnt make much sence if you cant drive it, since the wear on them is incredibal high; I had a pair that lastet only 8000 miles... have a good one

BMW M70/M73 are fantastic engines. They are not feeling punchy at all with all this smooth acceleration from idle to the redline, but will actually go like stink if you look at the needle on the speedometer... The moment I first drove an E38 750i I knew I had to have it. When people say that diesels have good torque, they honestly have no idea what they are talking about... I thought so as well until I got my big V12.
