Bimmer Magazine features my 850i Sport
December 5, 2005 on 1:59 pm | In All Posts |My silver 850i was featured in the December 2005 issue of Bimmer Magazine titled “Fanfare for the common 8 Series”. Article written by Mike Miller with photographs taken by Klaus Schnitzer.
The article features taking a regular 850 (or in my case special. as mine is one of 847 6-speed cars imported in the US) and performing various updates to transform the car into a Sport Super Coupe. The rest of the markets typically have a sport version made near the tail end of the production run that has many of the features of the M or in the 8’s case the 850CSi but the US was not that fortunate.
My Conversion to the 850i Sport covered the following upgrades to get it closer to my 850CSi.
- Sport Seats
- Suspension upgrades (Bilstein, H&R, K-bar anti-roll bars)
- Brake upgrades - cross drilled rotors, stainless steel brake hoses, Ate Blue fuild
- Performance - Turner Motorsport Chip and K&N Filters
- Accoustics - Exhaust upgrade to Supersprint.
