The seller offers for sale this 1989 BMW 850, powered by a 5.0-litre V12 engine paired with an automatic gearbox. This elegant grand tourer represents the first generation of BMW’s legendary 8 Series and is presented in very good condition both mechanically and cosmetically. The car has had only two owners and has been exclusively serviced by an official BMW dealership in Leuven, with invoices available. The bodywork remains in very good condition with no major accident history, and the front polyester nose was renewed last year. The interior retains its original materials, with the leather driver’s seat recently renovated and a new sliding cassette roof installed.
Mechanically, the car has benefited from recent work: new shock absorbers, fuel lines, injection pump, water pump, thermostat, and steering components, as well as new spark plug wires, seals, and exhaust parts. Both batteries and tires were replaced, ensuring the car is fully ready to drive. The V12 starts easily, runs smoothly, and the automatic gearbox shifts properly. The car has passed technical inspection and is completely rust-free.
The BMW 850 marked a new era of high-performance luxury when introduced in 1989, combining advanced technology with timeless design. Equipped with pop-up headlights, a sleek aerodynamic body, and BMW’s powerful V12 engine, it was among the most sophisticated GT cars of its time. The 850 offered both performance and refinement, capable of effortless high-speed cruising while maintaining comfort and style. Today, it stands as a collectible icon of 1990s automotive engineering. This well-maintained and documented example represents a rare opportunity to own one of BMW’s finest classics in pristine condition.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
