The BMW E31 8-series was launched in 1989 as a replacement for the outgoing E24 6-series but moved considerably more upmarket with high end amenities and only V8 or V12 power. Interestingly enough they were never available with Kermit green paint or an engine/trans from the E36 M3, so today's salvage found 850i is indeed an oddity. Find this 1991 BMW 850i with M3 powertrain here on copart bidding for $3,600 in Atlanta, GA. Tip from Rob "The Hack Mechanic".
