BUNK.  I hate to see this kind of uninformed opinion denegrating a great 
car.  The engine/electronics are virtually the same as the same year 750s, 
but you don't get this kind of naysaying about those cars.  There are a few 
issues to look for in an 850, just like with any other car (for example, DO 
NOT under any circumstance buy an 1994-1995 840 unless the engine has been 
replaced under warranty due to the sulfur issue).  For an INFORMED listing 
of what to look for, go to www.bmwe31.com.
