How many BMW 850i were made?
I’m looking into buying a used BMW, and one of my friends told me that I should try to find a 850i, as they’re kind of rare. But it’s hard to tell for sure, as BMW’s naming conventions are pretty confusing. Do you know how many BMW 850i were made?

It’s frequently confused (or sometimes used interchangeably) with the BMW 850 Ci, which appears to be the later version of the 850i.
To make matters more complicated, there’s also a version called the 850 CSi that frequently gets thrown into the mix as well.
At any rate, they were some of the most advanced cars on the road at the time in terms of power and performance. Many auto enthusiasts consider them collector’s items, and a used one will generally cost you about $30,000 today. If you decide to seek out one of these rare Bimmers, ensure you get the proper amount of
