BMW 850I TECHNOLOGICAL SHOWCASE

The 850i was a technological showcase, boasting cutting-edge luxury features such as remote keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, a power tilt-and-telescope steering wheel, a twelve-speaker stereo, and windows that automatically closed at high speeds. An active five-link rear suspension helped steer the 850i at the limit, and an early form of electronic stability control helped keep the big coupe on course. Under the hood, an aluminum-block, 5.0-liter V-12 used the industry’s only drive-by-wire electronic throttles and was attached to one of the world’s first six-speed manual transmissions.

That is an impressive list of ingredients, but the 850i weighed a hefty 4100 pounds – about as much as the long-wheelbase 750iL sedan, which shared its engine.
