I was browsing the american ebay and came accross a 1997 850ci with an auto steptronic gearbox.
I didnt even know that BMW made an 850ci with a steptronic gearbox.
Now knowing that they DO its just put me off my 840ci sport with steptronic. wHY???
Because bigger is allways better is it not? LOL
Can you imagine the preformance in the 850ci with the steptronic gearbox.
Also I noticed that German spec BMW's and american spec are allways equiped with more extras like edc, traction rear sun blind electric steering colum etc. Uk spec cars are allways to a minimum.
Now Im very tempted to buy a similar car wether its a left hand drive or not. Does anyone have a 850ci with the steptronic gearbox?? Or anyone know where I can find one in the uk?? Im very tempted to buy one from the states.
I allways felt that a proper 8 series was an 8 with a V12 engine. After all the original car was offered with a V12 first. This is merely my opinion.
The only reason why I was put off a v12 was because of the switchable gearbox. But I wouldnt say no to one with a steptronic gearbox.
