SCANS - BMW 850 CSI VS Aston DB7 VS Maserati 3200GT VS Ferrari 456GTA
From Classic & Sorts Car July 16 edition...
Always loved the 850 CSI and it would have been fantastic if they had produced the M8 with the McLaren F1 engine! 4 wheel steering and a V12 revised by the M division is not bad though! I think the 8 series was one of the best BMW designs ever and has aged very gracefully indeed. For sure, a future classic! Notice to current BMW designers: keep your designs simple and elegant and don't put too many badges and logos everywhere: a good designed car speaks for itself! Can't wait to see the upcoming renaissance of the 8, but it's a hard act to follow... Enjoy the read!

I always liked the 850i as well. But the sweet spot for me, was the 840i.
