Just saw and 850 on the road the other day. They were great cars but they never sold very well. Was a real sales dog for BMW. You can pick one up used for very little money, but the repair costs are extremely high on them. Kind of like a 760 in that respect. Cheap to buy, expensive to own.

You gotta love the V-12 in the 760 though! I got to drive one all day a few years ago, and what a blast.

The new 760's V-12 will feature direct gasoline injection, which is basically like Audi's "FSI" technology.

FSI is one of the technologies that makes the Audi R8 race car so dominant.
