Priddy’s Motor Company are delighted to present this BMW M850i Gran Coupé, showing 35,968 miles and finished in Sonic Speed Blue.
The colour is one of the first things that makes this particular car stand out. Sonic Speed Blue looks superb on the M850i, giving this large, elegant Gran Coupé a real presence without taking away from its understated design. It has certainly caught attention here, with plenty of comments from the team since its arrival. Combined with the M Carbon Exterior Package, it gives the car a purposeful look that sets it apart from the more usual colours.
Inside, the specification is just as impressive. BMW Individual Extended Merino leather in Black, an Anthracite Alcantara headlining and CraftedClarity glass detailing create a cabin that feels every bit as special as the exterior. There is leather-wrapped trim throughout, with the front M Sport seats providing a sporting feel without compromising the comfort expected of a car like this.
It is exceptionally well equipped for everyday use and longer journeys. The heated and cooled front seats, heated steering wheel and electric steering column make it easy to get comfortable, while the panoramic glass sunroof brings plenty of light into the cabin. The Premium and Technology packages add to an already extensive specification, alongside keyless entry, an electric boot and sun protection glazing.
The technology is equally useful. Adaptive cruise control with steering assistance helps take the strain out of longer motorway journeys, while blind spot assistance provides extra reassurance in traffic. The 360-degree camera system with its 3D view is particularly helpful when manoeuvring a car of this size. There is also a Harman Kardon sound system, completing a specification that covers comfort, convenience and entertainment exceptionally well.
This example has had four owners from new, with the most recent keeping it for two years. It presents in really good overall condition, and it is clear that the car has been well cared for. It sits on Bridgestone Potenza tyres all round.
What impressed us about this M850i is how well it brings everything together. It feels tight on the road and does everything exceptionally well, combining the comfort and refinement of a luxury Gran Coupé with genuinely formidable performance. The Sonic Speed Blue finish and extensive specification make this a particularly appealing example of the model.
Under the bonnet sits BMW’s 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8, producing 530 hp. Power is delivered through the Steptronic automatic transmission and BMW’s xDrive four-wheel-drive system, giving the M850i immense pace alongside the traction to use it effectively. It is an absolute beast when you want it to be, yet remains a comfortable, refined car when the journey calls for something more relaxed.
This is the appeal of the M850i: exceptional performance, long-distance comfort and an impressive level of equipment, all wrapped in a Gran Coupé that looks particularly striking in Sonic Speed Blue.
