Fast Facts:
- Compared to the 850ci, the 850CSi had lighter pistons, increased displacement, increased compression, more aggressive valve timing, less restrictive exhaust, and a variable RPM limit. BMW Motorsport specified stronger front hubs, stiffer shocks and shorter springs, and speed sensitive power steering
- The engine (code S70B56) was related to the engine used in the famed McLaren F1 (code S70/2). The complex engine requires two computers, one for each bank
- Featured a “Variable Throttle Linkage” controlled by buttons on the dash (“S” for Sport, “K” for Comfort). Sport provides a more aggressive throttle action, while Comfort provides a smoother, softer control
- Utilizes a variable redline for RPM control. 1st and 2nd gear is limited to 6400 rpm, 3rd is 6200, 4th is 6100, 5th is 6000, and 6th is a mere 5150 rpm. This was to prolong engine life, as a new short block can run upwards of $18k
- The CSi was only offered with a manual transmission
- The 850i it was based off of was the first production car to utilize a CAN (Controller Area Network). This substantially reduced the number of wires throughout the car, reducing weight and complexity
Key Model Year Changes:
- 1994 MY changes were limited to exterior colors only. Arctic Silver and Cosmos Black became options.
- There were no major mechanical changes to the 850CSi during its three and a half year production
