One of my all time favorites too. The 850 has that luxury sport, psuedo exotic, understated classy look. I almost bought a used one but after reading the service history decided against it. You'd be crazy to get one, unless you have a bankroll set aside for maintenance and repairs.

Good looking car, but heavy and the v12 was apparently not very reliable.

Just want to bring up something I noticed ...
Back then the SC400 with only a V8 and about 1/3 of the price of the 850 CSi was spanking it in almost every category except 1/4 mile times ... I never knew the SC was such a great performer compared to the other lux. coupes of the day ... Nice

german cars with big engines and that are /were heavy are awesome. I mean, not neccessiraly(s/p) im a bad speller)sports cars, but grand tourers. I mean pounding up and down the autobahn back in the day. I would drive only 4 cars. This, the 560 sec, the 560 sel, and the bmw 750 il. All of em were beasts and i think the reason the main reason not many were bought was ecause price, ut not only that, i think americans were looking at this as a sports car, and while it was a decent entry as opne, i would look at it more of a gt car
