THE MOST EXPENSIVE BMW E31 850CSI EVER

[@andrewlawson3694]

Featured in Total BMW a couple of months ago, another coincidence ! Wonderful car interesting video, thanks.

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

Glad you liked it!

[@datruthful]

Brilliant Video. I saw the exact car last year at the 2023 London Concours Event, truly stunning in the sun.

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

Thanks, yes it was quite a special car!

[@pavlospilakoutas]

Spotted it in the detailing video as well. Lovely car and should be driven. They drive fantastic. Color combination is a personal preference. I also hoped that you'd end the video by saying you bought it 😁 Great video 👍

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

I like to use my cars!

[@getdealtwithquick]

Not going to lie: part of me was hoping for the video to end with the car in your driveway! Nice find, nonetheless.

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

Too low mileage for me!

[@getdealtwithquick]

[@bobbyedal2737]

What a fantastic story. An amazing looking looking car. Wish I had that kind of money they might be looking for it. I honestly thought you were going to finish of saying you had bought it!! That would have been a good talking point for a while 😀👍👍👍

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

I like my high mileage ones!

She is a hard worker!! Great job. Don't think it was over board. More!

Thanks!

Wonderful stuff Timm 6° of separation.

Thanks!

Lovely E31, beautiful colour scheme and immaculate condition, by the looks of it. Off topic-ish; you mentioned a recall of your 650i cab. As I have a 2008 model I might be at risk of fire too. Could you tell me what to look for please? What area to check. Much obliged Timm.

[@SimonGreenway-ih8lh]

Very interesting although the interior I feel sure would not be to everyone's taste, plus did you notice the front bumper/ nose in front of the bonnet is not a very go colour match ?

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

They never are, I have looked at loads now and they are always different. The nose is plastic and the hood metal

[@georgimihalkov4781]

For me the E31still looks better in mora metallic, but this is a stunning example! I've never seen an interior like that, they've covered absolutely everything in leather.

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

I totally agree! The full leather dash is great for cars kept garaged - out in the real the dash shrinks away from the windscreen quickly!

[@avneetkainth9816]

The E31 is a stunning car.

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

It is!

[@mattt5738]

Hi Timm, I just watched your video on e38 keys and wondered if you know whether it’s possible to replace my original style key with the later diamond style key?

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

Yes you can, but it is a lot of work as the transponder is fitted to the PCB on the diamond keys

[@PlaAwa]

yeah it's just the centre bit for the steering wheel. must've taken a while to find another light coloured one

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

I think they dyed it!

[@PlaAwa]

@@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation interesting... How can you tell?

[@Oxedizer]

Always fancied a E31, but went down the JZA/MA-70 Supra route until I got the current E63 650i

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

They are great fun but the 650i is a winner!

[@timonachname1189]

great story, thanks for sharing it!

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ralfstahlmann5331]

So, how much are they calling for it?

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

It will be around 150k

Timm, fff topic-ish; you mentioned a recall of your 650i cab. As I have a 2008 model I might be at risk of fire too. Could you tell me what to look for please? What area to check. Much obliged.

[@bobbyedal2737]

I can tell you the last safety recall I had for my 650i was the battery cable connection. Risk Of Fire. It needs checking and reworking if necessary but if you look on the government website for taxing your car, you should be able to see if your car has any recalls marked up against it by typing in your registration . Hope this helps.

[@KimCJorgensen]

@@bobbyedal2737 Thanks, I replaced my battery a couple of years ago, original 2008 battery. Connections etc looked pristine. I'll have a better look to make sure. Timm sounded like chafing was the issue, but not sure from which cable or where exactly.

[@bobbyedal2737]

@@KimCJorgensen like I said. Check the government website. They will tell you what recalls you're car has. If there is none, then they have already been done or your year of car is not affected by the issue

[@KimCJorgensen]

@@bobbyedal2737 Found it, "it affects the insulated bulkhead connector of the positive battery cable in the vehicle's trunk floor". But this involves Ireland only, and I'm in Denmark. The car was bought in Germany in 2013 but I can't find recalls from either Germany or Denmark. I'll give my BMW service center a call and see if there's anything to worry about. This could result in a fire and complete loss of the car, so not to be taken lightly. I just checked the cables and what I can see is pristine, but I have to remove the cladding in the whole trunk to see properly, it's a job for BMW. Thanks again.

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

Give BMW a call and ask if there any re-calls outstanding against your VIN - they will know

[@AMSIGOWNER]

Put the blooming radio back in !!.. looks like the steering wheel airbag cover was painted odd

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

I agree, it needs the original head unit fitted!

massive BMW collector that guy

[@DaytonCarCare]

The older 80-90s bimmer prices are going up. I used to get 3, 5, 7 series and Z3 cars for less than $3k. Now people want twice that for shit boxes that need a lot of repairs.

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

Thar's because modern BMW's are awful!

[@DaytonCarCare]

@@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation That's a shame, I feel sorry for the owners.

[@Omegaman1969]

Shame it has a non factory spoiler and radio fitted, otherwise it looks like a nice car.

[@jaap5398]

The spoiler is factory - I have the same on my e31, from factory

[@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation]

It is factory, and very rare!
