1992 BMW 850i - Driving the V12 Manual Coupe (POV Binaural Audio) 

...and a very rare one !

​@@asthalisEven overhere,in the Netherlands.We,Dutch People are very BMW minded but the 8 series are very rare

Exactly. Today it's just a ghastly screen that in 20 years will be outdated, yet this design is timeless.

same here. car of my dreams

In this era BMW seems to want at all costs to look like Batman's car

@@armendarizosvaldo26They're targeting the Chinese market and therefore Chinese aesthetic sensibilities these days.

True that! I feel the exact same way.

Back when BMW still made decent cars. They’re a train wreck now, which is just one of the reasons the resale on them is so low.

Such a shame they outlawed them

For real

The only thing i would do is upgrade them to hid and have them open only about 70% of the way. This in the tuner scene is known as a "lazy eye" mod. It is also in dire need of a great but subtle exhaust system. It is not only being choked but also that engine needs to be heard man. I would of course keep all the original stuff.

Replace the e90 with the e30, e34 and e36 and I agree

And those new 🐽 grilles …

G series M models are peak BMW and I say that as an absolute E36 fanatatic.

F chassis bmw’s are the pinnacle of the ultimate driving machine. Nothing beats the driving dynamics, balanced weight distribution, Short wheel base, and nimble chassis of the f87 m2. It’s the closest thing to the nimble 3 series coupes of the past. But if Porsche is more your speed I don’t blame you, however get ready to dish out overs and take major losses on every purchase.

@@seanpoore500 Porsches hold their value SIGNIFICANTLY better than mass produced BMW’s

no it isnt at all. clean yes. modern color no way

It suits the winter.

I love dove grey for bmw interiors

Not modern at all.

Not modern at all.

Excepted the engine running for nothing, pure waste of oil.

For what?

Oh god no. First person driving experience > pretentious life advice. He's a car reviewer, not a life coach.

@@RandomlnternetGuy loads of others do the same thing buy tedward has lived an interesting life

Advise us on what? This dude is like 30 years old he don’t know shit about life 🤣.

@@quick2mack74 he knows how to live a fun life and he’s got his life figured out

I wonder how quiet it is relative to other BMWs of the era. Does it sit somewhere between an E39 and an E38 in that regard?

the 850 was the replacement of the 6 series, which was at its time a great car. Developement cost of the 850 surpassed the 1 000 000 000 marks (about 400 000 000 Dollars at the time) being the most expensive, which included lots of new technology later added to other models. At the time, they were cut of at a top speed of 250 kph. Tires, if I remember correctly had an Index of ZR, meaning they were rated for vehicles going faster than 240 kph; they had a very smoth ride, so, again, at the time it was probably the most silent (sports) car of the era. Other cars had soundsystems that adjusted the volume according to the noise the speed was producing, making them louder; I dont believe that ever happened in the 850. Are tires with the High speed indes, Z , W, ZR even sold in the US or elswhere? Wouldnt make much sence if you cant drive it, since the wear on them is incredibal high; I had a pair that lastet only 8000 miles... have a good one

@@jorgbo3909 I have ZR rated Michelin Pilot Sport 5 on my E39, and they have done over 26,000 km and still have around 50% tread left

One of those cars where 150 feels like 60 in most other cars.

They should have put the S70/2 into an M8 just because.

"One of the best pieces of engineering by BMW" boy you don't wanna know how they made (I should really say strapped together) that V12...

Absolutely fantastic indeed! Nothing beats a V12 and a manual😮

​@@braulioaol5140is it basically just two M20B25's glued together to make that V12? If it is then it's not that surprising tbh...

Also...In my opinion, one of the best interior designs BMW has ever done, this one seems a thousand times more elegant to me than so much damn wood simulation.

Also your commentary is great. Really nice quality videos!

I had the same car. It was awesome until everything on it broke
