Default My 1996 BMW 850CSI Individual

Hello,

It's been quite a long time since I have been registered on this forum, but I never really took the opportunity to post pictures of my car until now.

My previous car was a 1994 M3 Cabrio which I kept for 6 years.

I was not really looking to sell it, but about one year ago, a friend told me about a 1996 850CSI for sale with only 30'000 Km.

I loved the car as soon as I saw it!

It was all original except from the front parking sensors.

The color is TechnoViolett and it seems to be the only CSI made in that color.

When I first saw the interior, I was a bit shoked, but I got used to it now.



The pictures don't do justice to it and it's a lot nicer in reality:


Apart from a good clean, I didn't intend to do anything on the car. I wanted however to put back the BMW badges (instead of the ///M ones), remove the ///M badge on the front grill and put back the 850CSI badge at the rear.















I had the huge license plate support on the front removed too:




The engine is very clean and IMHO one of the nicest BMW has ever made.:


During spring 2007, I went to an 8 series meeting close to Geneva:






I also tried to remake a picture that I loved from my M3, but it didn't turn out as well:




I am very happy with the car so far and hope I will be able to keep it for many more years!

Regards,
