Bow down, mortals - the special one is here.
Why didn’t the BMW 8 Series – the original one – earn quite the respect it deserved? And it did deserve it, because it was a fantastic-looking car in its day, and just keeps getting more and more head-turnery as time marches on. Especially when it’s presented with some key attributes like this one: black metallic paint, stunning BBS split-rim multi-spokes, two-tone leather. Oh yes, and a V12 stoked by you, using a stick. The 850 CSi is a magnificent beast.
It has so much to savour. The wedge shape as you walk up to it; the enveloping interior as you get in; and the quiet hiss before the storm – when you click the ignition through those initial notches and the fuel pumps begin to prime. And then you go that extra stage. The final click round to energise the starter, and you listen; listen as that classic, unmistakable V12 cranking action begins.
It was a cutting-edge piece of design. The M70 engine had switched to hydraulic tappets, a timing chain to improve durability, and it was all aluminium to reduce weight. And it sported the latest Bosch electronics, including accurate mass airflow sensors measuring the air being sucked into each induction branch and a drive-by-wire throttle instead of a cable. But the S70 went even further.
