hi,
I live in S. Korea and am looking for a nice conditioned 850ci.
I found one on one of used car site in Seoul but can't tell if it is Ci.
Seller says it is Ci but it does not have the Steptronic. Instead, it has regular 5 speed automoatic. It says 1995 850ci and it only has 36000km.
My question is that if there is 850 Ci model which has 5spd automatic instead of steptronic?
Please goto below site, and click the photo of 8. There should be a photo of its interior where it shows the automatic. There is a photo of its engine room as well so someone should be able to figure out what it is.
Thank you.
Help, Is this 850 Ci or i?

Post at Roadfly also
I would post this question at "www.Roadfly.com" on the 8 series message board as well. That would maximise chances for you.
I believe that by 1995 all 8 were either Ci, or CSi but do not act on my saying. Check with others.

The i was only built until '92 all of the rest are Ci.
I don't believe that the Steptronic was available until '96 or '97
'95 840s were just 5 speeds too.
All of the model data including how many cars were shipped to each country originally is here:

Play with the videos while you are there.

I don't see anything too suspicious, except for a bunch of dropped pixels in the computer (might just be an unfortunate photo). Probably a Ci, with the 5.4l engine...

I dont think that is a Ci
I just noticed something on the pictures. The plastic black engine cover belongs to pre 94s. I am not 100%sure, but I really think Ci with the 5.4 engine have a differetnt engine cover.
Also, it does not have the side yellow blinkers right before the front wheels.
Futhermore, 850s from that year have the seat heater controls on the console, that on the seats like 91to 93.
You should check the vin number. -
That is definitly an 850Ci because of the year and the engine cover
For the auto transmission, I guess Steptronic was in option before 1996 -
this is not a 5,4! It is definately a 5,0 with a 4speed automatic transmission.
Maybe one of the last 5,0 that have been build!
Btw CI does not mean 5,4 Liter, also other 5,0 here in Europe have been sold by BMW as 850 CI!
But tha car is in a good shape!
