1996 BMW 850
**1996 BMW 850Ci – Collector-Grade Example – Rare British Racing Green / Tan – One-Owner Provenance**
Up for auction is a highly desirable **1996 BMW 850Ci**, finished in the rare and distinguished **British Racing Green** over **tan leather interior**. With **217,080 km** and purchased directly from its **original owner**, this example represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a true modern classic with **matching numbers** and unbroken provenance.
* **Model:** 1996 BMW 850Ci (E31)
* **Engine:** 5.4L V12, numbers-matching
* **Transmission:** Automatic with Comfort/Sport modes
* **Mileage:** 217,080 km
* **Ownership:** Single-owner history until recently, offered with complete continuity
The **E31 8-Series** was BMW’s flagship coupe of the 1990s—engineered with advanced aerodynamics, pillarless side windows, and groundbreaking onboard technology. The **850Ci V12** sat at the top of the lineup, offering both performance and luxury that few cars of its era could match.
**Collector Highlights:**
* Rare **British Racing Green** exterior, seldom seen on the 8-Series.
* Original **tan leather interior** in driver-quality condition.
* **Matching-numbers drivetrain**, preserving full authenticity.
* **Factory options and accessories include:**
* Original BMW **cell phone**
* **Comfort/Sport driving modes**
* **Electric rear sunshade**
* **Heated front seats**
* **Factory radio with cassette player** and **6-disc CD changer in trunk**
* **Color-matched sunroof/vent**
* **Complete factory tool kit**
* **Original first aid kit**
* **Factory owner’s manuals**
* **Direct one-owner provenance**, a rarity among E31s.
The following items will require attention:
* **Front bumper** needs a professional repaint to be show-quality.
* **Dashboard pixels** require restoration/recharge.
* **Minor transmission pan gasket leak**.
* **Cracked taillight**.
* **Small dents in the driver’s side quarter panel**, suitable for **paintless dent repair**.
Despite these serviceable and cosmetic needs, the originality, rare specification, and provenance make this car stand out as a collector-grade opportunity. With its desirable factory equipment, one-owner history, and authentic accessories, this 850Ci is an excellent candidate for either preservation or a light restoration that would significantly enhance its long-term value.
As interest in the **BMW E31 8-Series** continues to rise, particularly the V12-powered 850Ci, this example represents an increasingly rare chance to acquire a **well-documented, numbers-matching, rare-color example** of one of BMW’s most iconic grand tourers.
