      Besides the Autobahn and the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, how many places are there where you have the option of driving over 100 mph? How many speeding tickets and reckless driving charges are you willing to rack up?
      Here in the US, the highest speed limit is 85 mph (the Texas Highway 130 toll road), and it has been over 20 years since the Montanabahn ended. Just about any car you see on the road today has enough horsepower to go 85 mph, even an old Buick, an old minivan, or a low-end Kia. The Malaise Era Chevettes that shook at speeds over 55 mph, the Brougham land yachts with the big V8 engines that put out only 120 hp, and the Yugos with the 20-second 0-60 times are long gone.
      Back in 1991, there was still a national 65 mph speed limit and thus even less reason to drive over 100 mph. Any car other than the very slowest Malaise Era beaters had the horsepower for 65 mph.
      Oh, and if you still wanted a fast and sporty car back in 1991, there were much cheaper choices available than the BMW 850i available. There were Firebirds, Trans Ams, Camaros, Mustangs, Acuras, Lexuses, Supras, Nissan Z-cars, and Honda Preludes. All of these cars were not only cheaper to buy but to maintain as well.

    V12s from similar cars like the Jaguar and Benz were also not rockets like people expect them to be. I believe the purpose at the time of having 12 cylinders was not so much for 0-60 times and racing but luxurious silkiness, effortless and graceful response that makes you feel like a king being at the helm of something truly exclusive, a domesticated beast.

    Finally a car I actually owned. When I was a young college graduate I thought to myself, I need a car that has more than 6 cylinders and doesn't make one feel like falling asleep at the sight of it (My beige 98 Camry) so after little to no research I found an 850 for sale at a very small price tag and thought that would be a good idea. It was a great car and it performed well but... every year something would break. The old 90's electronics, and this thing was packed full of them, lead to sensor after sensor after sensor needing to be changed. Was never helped by the fact that it had 2 of everything. But like you said about it being a highway cruiser, I have never had a more comfortable ride on the highway. I also constantly forgot the dash was reading miles and not km/h and would find myself wondering why everyone was going so slow that day.

      @@antonioakiki3716 I think that If it was meant to cruise the Autobahn with long gearing I doubt the engine needed a very high redline just better low end torque, hence the single cam instead of something like the trick double vanos that arguably wasn't the most reliable thing. And considering all the doubled components calling the engine design lazy without thinking about what It was supposed to do is by itself a lazy thing to do.

    I while searching for my first car to buy when I was 17. I found one of these on craigslist for only $3k it had 160k miles, and an average 160k mile BMW interior I knew it would be a horrible idea, and that I shouldn't do it butttt I really wanted it like a 15 year old boy really wants to see Susie's nutter butter. I still think about that car every now and again wondering if I could have made that v12 make it to 200k or not or how long I could I go before I get arrested for doing 150mph pulls on the highway. I should've bought it, even if it would blown up in half a year. Only reason I didn't buy it was "I NEED A MANUAL". My parents eventually forced me to get a 02 Buick regal LS it wasn't even the fast supercharged GS my inner dude bro died a bit when they handed me those keys. WHY DONT YOU LOVE ME SUSIE

Also for 3k no way you could have even made it home, it must have had so many issues at that price it would be a money pit for someone so young. Sad your parents wouldnt let you get manual though, thats alright the buick will make a great daily and you can get a manual sports car later.

    Been a RCR fan for awhile now and somehow missed this video until now. It figures it'd be the one where you mentioned my favorite band Dream Theater

    I had a 1991 750IL. Yes the V12 was not fast off the line but would cruise all day at 125 MPH without a sweat. It was ahead of its time which is why they had so many electronic issues. The M70 V12 was a beautiful motor!!!

    I might add that it's also about the driving experience, but I agree with your initial description of why to have one

    This is one of those cars that if I had the opportunity to get one I wouldn’t think twice on it. I know it’ll be a nightmare in repairs but it’s one of the most beautiful cars ever built from the Germans to me. I used to own a 525i e34 and although it was great a two door coupe from this era with a V12 in the front is just what it’s all about.

    I remember a mechanic saying it was pricey to maintain one of these properly so there are probably alot of these that need maintenance I personally feel it would be fun as I grew up with a 325 and this motor seems like two of those
