kulgan 1042 Report post Posted October 19, 2015 I luv thats it's a manual and the color combo is different too. Shame it's a lefty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted October 20, 2015 Pretty sure it's Barbados Green and a bad photo. Actual colour is more like this:http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/uploads/cars/bmw/4427637.jpg Quite a few late model 840s in the UK came with the same colour and interior combo as an individual option. Beautiful car but a standard 850i is expensive enough to maintain without tech like AHK steering - prone to failure and expensive to repair! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmwwgn 14 Report post Posted October 20, 2015 Thread title is a misnomer, as are all the comments about the car being a "manual". C'mon guys, don't you know that the 850CSi only came as a 6-speed manual?! Just 1510 units were produced by BMW M - they were an M8 in all but name. This is a January '94 Euro-spec (EG91) car and is quite possibly the lowest mileage example in existence. It should fetch well over $NZ100k - likely to a European or US buyer. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodachrome 150 Report post Posted October 20, 2015 What is AHK steering? Real Wheel steering. Touch wood the only prob I had with mine is some rusty piping that needed replacement. Sadly "no one in NZ" seems to be able to handle metric /DIN high pressure fittings and pipework so had to buy BMW parts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted October 20, 2015 Oh right 4 wheel steering haha. My Soarer also has active 4 wheel steering. I love it, night and day between my one that doesn't. I would have tried to find an E31 with 4ws, its worth it on bigger cars like that. In all consideration from what I've seen such systems are very reliable, at the end of the day its a less stressed steering rack that only moves a few degrees. Probably more likely to blow a headgasket! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rubix 434 Report post Posted October 20, 2015 My Z32 300zx had HICAS which was nissan's equivalent of 4WS. Utterly horrible and almost every z32 owner deleted it.Would hope that BMW's is much better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted October 20, 2015 An interesting one. Maybe the Nissan version wasn't active and a bit agricultural in its operation? Seems crazy to delete what is a well proven system, if done right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmwwgn 14 Report post Posted October 20, 2015 The AHK was essentially designed to provide the CSi with superior high speed lane changing capability on the autobahns - and it worked. Porsches and Ferraris struggled to match it in this mode. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted October 20, 2015 It wouldn't surprise me if bmw pioneered it, i think the gtr skylines used it to great effect in racing. At low speeds the front and rear wheels turn to opposite lock to give a smaller turning circle, but at high speed they turn to the same lock making the vehicle basically slide sideways rather than front first and rear follow.
