WITH 296 V12 HORSEPOWER! The big Bimmer lets you blow past most of the cars on the road faster than they can ask, "What wasthat?"Its motivation comes from the same splendid 5.0-liter V-12 found under the hood of the 750iL sedan. This engine, as you may remember, specializes in smoothness and tranquility while developing 296 hp at 5200 rpm.
The 850i's strength is seamless power. Mated to a four-speed automatic the mighty V-12 catapulted our 850i from standstill like an F-16 being launched off a carrier.
Blast-off to 60 mph takes just 6.3 seconds, the quarter-mile dash is over in 14.9 seconds at 96 mph, and the speed doesn't stop coming until an electronic limiter steps in at 156 mph. Moreover, the V-12 delivers its power with aristocratic decorum. It's like having a giant, vibrationless, hydroelectric generator under the hood. The 850i's strength is seamless power.
Its fit and finish is sensational—leather soft and sweet-smelling—and it packs all of the luxury you could ask for. when you grab the door handles, a servo motor lowers the frameless front windows about a half-inch so they can clear the deep channels that lock them firmly in place at autobahn speeds. The trunk handle controls not a latch but a switch that engages a servo motor thatreleases the latch. The steering column tilts and telescopes electrically. More computing power is employed for the cruise control, the climate control (with dual thermostats, one each for the driver and the passenger, the anti-lock brakes, the traction-control system, and the 850i's computer‑controlled throttle linkage. The 850i is a work of art and considerably cheaper than even a Matisse pencil sketch.
