LRF4N Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 He's looking at the cheapest ones cos it will be a second car but as a first car (excluding your wifes) 10k is a very healthy budget for an 8 series. Or any car nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or any car nowadays TBH, ive had 14 new or newish cars in the last 10 years. It scare's the sh*t out of me when i think about how much ive lost in depreciation. So spending 10k on a car that probably wont depreciate would be a great money saving exercise for me. If i had thought of this before i bought my current car i would have gladly increased my budget to 40k! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) 850csi! Are they V12's? Yes I think so. Its 840i old are 4l and newer is 4.4 v8 same as e38. 850i are v12 5l same as e38 and 850csi is 5.4 I think and thats got 380bhp or something and a noise to die for. Edit I think the 850csi is a 5.6.
