Brads dad has a BMW 850i v12 auto, on a H reg.........project.
for a bag of sand i can have a 50% share....should i? Bmw's leave me stone cold no passion for German Junk, but a v12 !!! 850.
It dont run, i diagnosed fuel pumps 3 years ago and its sat ever since.....battery's dead, and i believe when running over heating issue.
im thinking get up mine and get some newish walbros i got on nd see if runs and then clean up and sell as project....gotta be worth a punt?
paintwork shot lacquer peel but car is original and has potential....dunnooooo?

Beemers V12 are difficult bastards. Lots of electical and vacuum hose problems. Engine is great tho. Old auto box is crap.
I had 750 Beemer with 5,4l and newer Tiptronic box. Its actually faster than
850.
I wouldnt recommend that car. I had lots of problems with mine. But still I fell in love with that car. Love&hate relationship...

Asked my buddy who is a bmw nut........
"What do you know about bmw 850 v12.....?"
They have 12 spark plugs
Apparently they're not that powerful for a v12

Well, they arent sports engines, but they are awesome for cruising... 5,4 makes 326horses and 480nm I think... Dont remember 5,0 torque, but it has 300 horses...
850 is becoming a collectors item I quess. So would be good change for making so money. However, those electical problems can cost you alot

I have dreamed for a long time to put that engine to other chassis and run ITBs and different ecu... That alu lump can make 600 horses easily... Only problem in that swap is what gearbox to run

Sorry for hogging your thread Jon,
Saw this on eBay and didn't know where to put it, but as you introduced a Bavarian Cortina onto a Mazda forum, I'd assumed you let this slide lol.
Made me think of jarno anyway
173832064897 eBay number.
Scandinavian styling with British power, could always drop a 7 in the engine bay for a proper sleeper
