This is my beautiful Ms. Violetta, but is known and has been called "Purple Haze." This car is in excellent condition with very low miles. It is ONE of only ONE. At one of the BMW 8 series festivities I was told by one of the US BMW registry officials that Ms. Violetta is the ONLY one of her kind in the world. It is the perfect investment for a BMW collector. It was specially ordered with the Daytona Violet Exterior paint with Daytona Violet and Lotus White leather interior. Originally ordered from BMW of Palm Springs, Ca. BMW only produced approximately 1500 BMW 850 CSi's worldwide. Of those only approximately 225 where imported to North America. BUT, only one came in Daytona Violet!!! The car's history is well documented on the net... The buyer can pick which set of wheels preferred: Original BMW 18" Alpina wheels, pictured in a couple of the photos of the car Original BMW CSi 17" "Throwing stars" which have been powdered coated and mounted on a new set of Dunlop tires.

The 850CSi used the same engine as the 850i, which was tuned so significantly that BMW assigned it a new engine code: S70B56. The modifications included a capacity increase to 5.6 liters and power increase to 380 PS (279 kW; 375 hp). The 850CSi's modified suspension included, stiffer springs and dampers which reduced the car's ride height. The recirculating ball steering ratio was dropped 15% over the stock E31 setup. The model also sported staggered throwing star wheels. The front and rear bumpers were reshaped for improved aerodynamic performance. Four round stainless steel exhaust tips replaced the square tips found on other models. The 6-speed manual gearbox was the only transmission option. In Europe all 850CSi's came with four-wheel steering (AHK - Aktive Hinterachs-Kinematik, Active rear axle Kinematics) , Floating front brake discs, rear differential oil cooler, engine oil cooler and sports seats. Production ended in late 1996 because the S70 engine could not be modified to comply with new emission regulations without substantial re-engineering.
