We road-tested the 850i pictured here in our August 1990 issue. The successor to the 6-series, BMW's 8-series was, essentially, its overpriced flagship. Although it featured a brand-new rear suspension, the 850i's 296-hp V-12 engine was lifted straight from the 750iL sedan. The borrowed powerplant was good for a 6.1-second 0–60 time and a top speed of 155 mph. But the car's best attribute, of course was its brawny style—it looked the wheeled equivalent of Sylvester Stallone in an immaculately tailored suit.
