I was doing a littel playing around on the computer, and i think now it would be a cool idea to have a BMW 850 or 840, but ive heard they had very complex engines both V8 and V12, i was wondering what you guys think, the intial purchase price for a V12 850 is only about 18 thousand, but ive heard upkeep and maintenence is hell, just wondering what you guys know about it

im not sure about the V12s...Originally Posted by my porsche
but, i do know that you want to avoid any V8 made before '96...the '95 and older V8s are the 4.0L version rather than the 4.4L. these older engines have a nikasil alloy block that has a had a history of problems...although some of the motors were brought back under recall and there were several fixes for the problem all the way up to a complete engine replacement...you can do research regarding casting numbers and service records and what not to see if the problem has been fixed
my family had a '95 740i that had problem after problem so i know first hand

I've always adored the 850CSi. It's supposed to be a pretty hot car.
