these are fantastic cars, a m8 of mine bought one for 14 grand, something went worng with the electrics, he sent it BMW to be sorted (like a knob), in the end it cost him 8 grand get it fixed and running perfectley. then he decided to sell it for 12 grand 6 months later. wish i'd have bought it. 850's are the same basic engine as a mclaren F1 i think.

But I dont want to start cutting the exhaust system up just yet lol
As for the colour I thought the same before I bought it
But when I saw it in the flesh I soon changed me mind

I think I might resist that
If I find an old exhaust to hack up I'll give that a go first
Cut out a few centre boxes to let them V12 db's out
It comes as std with onboard elec adjustable damping !
Does that count?
Tinted windows coming soon then

Very nice car, one of my fav BMWs, but the running costs would frighten me!!! I do like the colour, but agree the exhaust tips don't look right, but cracking motor!

I never quite understood these cars, they look like they should have a decent motor in them but you some how end up with too many cyclinders and well shy of power.

Nice car 
but starting to look a bit dated now though if im brutally honest. Oh and i actually quite like the green olour.
Unleash the volume with a set of 12 throttle bodies and a stainless exhaust
