Design of the first generation 8 Series, the E31, began in 1984, with final design phase and production development starting in 1986. The vehicle debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA) in early September 1989 and was in production until 1999. The 8 Series was designed to move beyond the market of the original E24 6 Series, with greater performance and an even higher purchase price. The 8 Series offered the first V-12 engine mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox on a road car. It was also one of the first vehicles to be fitted with an electronic drive-by-wire throttle. The 8 Series was one of BMW's first cars, together with the Z1, to use a multi-link rear axle.
Overall nearly 31,000 8 series cars were manufactured over the ten years production as taking place. This vehicle is standard 850i version, it was the first models launched in 1990 with the 5 litre M70B50 V12 engine producing 300 PS (221 kW; 296 hp). It was available with either a 4-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual gearbox, this has the 6 speed manual.
The 850i had a four year build run from 1990 to 1994.
