Pictures of an 850Ci...

I met another forum member today who drove his father's gorgeous 1996 850Ci. I took some pictures of the car and put them up on my web site. If anyone's interested, they are found here:

They are retrofitted according to the owner.

Wow, that looks really great, but your E46 M3 standing next to it is stealing the attention in those pics, lol. I love the Xenon headlights that were retro-fitted!!

Nice. Oxford Green?

Wow, you're the first one who "got" it. Yes, the 850Ci is in Oxford Green I. Mine's Oxford Green II, so they make a nice pair.

That's a nice car, daihard; but your car is the one that I'm drooling over! Lol, I came close to ordering that very same car through a military sales program. I ended up deciding not too, coming to the realization that even though I'd be saving thousands I still couldn't see myself coughing up high 40's for a car. I do love it though.

Not to be judgmental, but I think you made a good decision. I am sure the time will come when you'll be able to make the decision to buy a car like that without having to think twice.

I've seen a few 8 series with 6 speed manuals. Most seem to be in auto, but there are a few M6's out there. I'd kill for one of those.

You have an incredible car though. We had an 850i with Csi mods; Dinan chips, K&N filters. Lowered. Nice car. Did I say 6-speed? very smooth.

Later--had a 330 coupe with 6-speed. A 2002. Very quick, with Dinan 3 package.
