The Story of the BMW 850 CSi (E31)
The BMW 850 CSi (E31) is a legend in automotive history and represents the flagship of the 8 Series, produced from 1989 to 1999. The BMW 850 CSi was the high-performance version of the E31 generation and was powered by a 5.6-liter V12 engine that delivered an impressive 380 horsepower. This power was transferred to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox, providing precise driving pleasure and performance. The development and design of the BMW 850 CSi (E31) were led by Karl-Heinz Kalbfell and designer Klaus Kapitza. The predecessor from the 6 Series could not capture the same fascination, so the 8 Series was intended to showcase BMW's technological peak in the 90s.
Technological Masterpieces and Design
The introduction of the BMW 850 CSi (E31) was marked by technological innovations. Equipped with a state-of-the-art chassis and servotronic steering system, the vehicle could be optimally controlled in any driving situation. Additional technical highlights included the four-wheel steering and active rear axle kinematics. A distinctive feature of the car was its aerodynamically optimized design, characterized by the iconic pop-up headlight front and sleek yet powerful lines. The original wheels of the vehicle, if discernible, were also specially designed for the series.
