Definitely one of the best sports coupe of its time. 300hp might not be impressive but it will still move elegantly. Sound like a turbine on start and silky smooth.
Awesome car! Had a -92 850CI 20 years ago and loved it.... impressive piece of machinery... this one actually looks really awesome! It always deserved wider hips... 😜
Definitely not the first. Zeemax and Koenig Specials were making widebody 8 series since the early 90s. And they didn't just bolt on some fender flares with rivets like this version, they actually replaced the fenders with wider ones, making the car much lighter.
Correct,, but what is actually more astounding is that 850 CI with m73,,((latest cars)) were only made in 1218 pcs,, so it is 300 less vs CSI,,, quite cool IMO
It's absolutely stunning build for sure....but not first wide-body one at all....the first one was made in 90' by Koening-Specials as KS8Ci... The circular holes above front lip are not my cup of tea but I respect everyones taste is different....Also does it have hydraulic units above coilovers to lift belly up for getting over speed humps?
it took me about 3.5 sec to realize this is going to be a good show to watch. I haven't even seen the rest of the videos and just absolutely destroyed that sub button.
7:40 Exactly bro, ♥ I like this car. When we played GTA Vice City ultimated moded version. I driove this car a lot. Such an everlasting design. Also your modification, Supperb bro, Its neat and clean. Nothing is showing unmatched. even the livery is nice, ♥
As an E31 owner, part of me likes seeing people build these cars because they are so special. On the other hand, it pains me to see such a rare car altered in almost an irreversible way. Interior is mint on this thing, though. He must have done a manual swap, as well, because only the 850i's came with the 6 speed manual pre-1995 (in the US), as far as I remember.
10min and not a single engine bay shot, that's sad. plus loud music when we are supposed to hear the car cruising is raging me tbh bc everyone is doing it, we don't want music we want to hear the car running (yea even if it's a quiet car that make very small noise)
Unfortunately with this car we only had 2 hours to shoot. Owner did not want to show the engine bay, and the car literally made 0 noise in person. Insanely quiet. Peep one of the other The Build episodes.

The Alpina B12 5.7 version has 416hp

Yea the Koening K8 is one of my dream cars
Spot on, why even bother with rivets looks so ugly. You can tell it looks home-made. Would be embarrassed to drive it.
I literally have a crush on this thing like LITERALLY
The 1,510 figure is the CSi model. The CI trim level was made in much higher production numbers.

I love the paint job, it reminds me of the BMW Art Cars, and the 850i Art Car in particular. It also reminds me of the BMW Batmobile racers.
The 850i REALLLY needs BMW's modern 6.6l twin-turbo V12.
I've got a manual 6spd 850 sitting in my garage
This Bmw is one of my favorite cars ! It was just different! 🔥🔥🔥

This is my dream right here
Underrated channel! Amazing video!
First, one if my favorite cars, loved it even more after seeing this build at Sema
Id prefered it in all black tho, looked really badass
Correction: bmw built 1510 850CSI not the 850ci (they built much more)
Bimmer goals 💯👌
I'll be honest I like the design of this 850csi and sometimes I forgot all about it when I seen the movies of that BMW.
it took me about 3.5 sec to realize this is going to be a good show to watch. I haven't even seen the rest of the videos and just absolutely destroyed that sub button.
Great video, we had a blast installing some of those parts for Marvs build!
Isnt the CSI even more price wise?
What why only 21k views man that thing it basically has a soul
IG feed brought me here today. Flawless

A grownup m3😍
Dope AF!
Great to see you back bro 👍😎 . Awesome build respect to the owner for doing a totally unique build stunning ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome!
I guess im building second wide body,but with S62 inside for a customer. So i guess it will be one of one as well😀
To this day one of my fav BMW
Sensational build with a fat ass stance.
Now it's time for the twin turbo M5 V8 to match the looks 😜
Amazing build!!
I would just add rear diffuser, it's kinda empty in middle of dual exhaust.
Maybe there will be v2 version in future.
Totally agree
Coolest Bimmer in the whole world!
a dream car
Is there black paint under a white wrap?
I worked for BMW and this build is everything. it’s really hard for me so agree on a car I’d build and this hits the spot.
Very very cool build !

Love your video production
My fav car ever!
I. Absolutely. LOVE. this car. 😩😍🤤😎 #cheers
This is dope ! Dope video tooo
xan u do this to the 840ci?
Man it would be crazy if you could find a Koenig Specials E31 somewhere to do a video
clean asf
Dct* would be the best. One day when I build one ill have the v12 with dct.
Was the widebody custom made or?
S70 engine + strocker + 2 turbos
Not a big wide body fan, but man that looks bad ass. If that was a poster I would
Hang it on my garage wall. Well done!
Audi quatre spoiler 🤝
Looks 👍
A near perfect build. Only (minor) change I would make is white door handles. And a manual.
Wicked
Piękna maszyna 😍😍😍😍😍😍
This is how you do a boxy exterior right, this puts the new m2 to shame, even being made decades before.
World's first? Where's koenig?
Cool down and slow down please ive been wanting one for a couple years now hahah
damn
Kit looks great but wtf is with that paint job
Its definetly not *worlds first* but nice
Meh, it's aight.....jk jk, sick build. Definitely still lots of potential with mods etc.
Give 4 wheel drive leave this crap in my dust
wrong koenig did it first
He should of manual swapped it
I would have kept the stock wheels and painted them black, metal black paint on the car,then it would look super clean
You cant install taste in people...
How to transform a subtle and tasteful coupé into a disgusting piece of crap. Yes 'murica!
This isn’t the first wife body why are you lying?

@@DrivingCody i would like see a mod to this 8 series backlights. Maybe with the backlights of the Ferrari Testarossa.
The livery is no good
Go play some more nfs , but stop pretending you made this car better xD.
owner is a genius!🔥 💯 Respect! 🙌
Hey mate, contact me if your down for more builds. I can give a hand. Love your ideas.Cheers!
I just can't understand why people are so obsessed with ruining the looks of cars with those awful, rivet-on bodykits. They look ridiculously sh*t.
