The 850i was the newest design of the three cars, as it was introduced in 1990, but according to some, even though it was marketed as a technological tour de force, its electronic stability controls robbed it of the hard edged driver appeal that BMW purists demanded. It had a Teutonic glamour but in the end, few drivers warmed to it.

Maybe so, but the 850i looks quite dated next to the 560SEC in my opinion. I'm sure I won't get much argument from you on THIS, Jim. I wouldn't turn down either one of them, though.
