While an M-division iteration of BMW’s 8-Series never quite came to fruition, those looking for the utmost performance from BMW’s super coupe were not left wanting for more. Equipped with BMW’s 375 bhp S70 5.6-litre V-12 engine, the 850 CSi was massaged by the M-division to improve the overall driving experience, and it did not disappoint. Only 1,510 were built.

According to previous registration documents on file, this 850 CSi was delivered new to Carl L Ellman of Bedminister, New Jersey. Finished in black over a black leather interior, it is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, one of only 225 850 CSis equipped as such. Amazingly, the car remained with Ellman from new until it was purchased by its current owner and imported to Switzerland in 2016.

With the CARFAX report showing regular services undertaken at both Morristown BMW and Park Avenue BMW in New Jersey, the car appears to have been driven by him on a semi-regular basis, likely as a secondary car. By the time he sold the car, it had only accrued 27,877 miles from new and has been driven less than 1,000 miles since.

The enthusiast looking for the perfect 850 CSi need not look further.

Please note that this car is now offered with a Swiss Carte Grise.
