Description
BMW 850i Auto in Brilliant Red with black interior. The car is very special, combining regular servicing over its life with a recent full mechanical and cosmetic overhaul, bringing it up to exceptional condition.
Servicing: 19 services with no recent gaps, the last service being a full Inspection 2 only 1000 miles ago. Excellent MOT history with no recent advisories.
Engine and transmission: In addition to regular servicing, all the usual E31 weak points have been addressed, including gearbox oil replaced, differential oil replaced, 2 new fuel pumps, 2 new distributors and leads, recent oil sump and sump ventilation valve, recent manifold gaskets. The intake manifolds have been repainted, so the engine bay is immaculate. Air conditioning re-gassed.
Suspension, steering and braking: Recent power steering overhaul with a new power steering cooler, new steering rods and tracking checked. Suspension bushes replaced as necessary. New Bilstein B6 shock absorbers. Refurbished callipers with new discs and pads all round.
Wheels and tyres: The Style 32 17" radial spoke rims are fully refurbished and unmarked. New Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres all round.
Bodywork: The underside is particularly clean and rust-fee and has been Waxoyled. The bodywork also completely rust-free and virtually unmarked. I have had the bonnet and rear quarters repainted purely for cosmetics, removing any stone chips and scuffs from the car. The electric sunroof has been reconditioned with new seals and works perfectly.
Interior: The carpets have been refreshed and seats re-dyed, so no scuffs or wear. The headliner has been replaced and the A and C pillars re-covered complimenting the 'as new' interior. A Blaupunkt Frankfurt 90s retro stereo has been fitted which integrates perfectly but allows DAB, USB, Bluetooth and telephone. The troublesome OBC trip computer has all its pixels. The boot carpets are unmarked, and the BMW tool kit is complete as is the original first aid kit. Two new batteries have been fitted.
The car drives perfectly with no faults. Included are the standard service book pack in its leather wallet, a folder of over 70 pages of receipts, all the MOT certificates from new and two keys, plus a very rare original brochure. Private registration SIL 8506 (SIL850S?) is negotiable.
As good an E31 850 as you'll find anywhere. This is a properly priced enthusiast-owned car. There is literally nothing left to do but drive it away.
