Michael Jordan, an indisputable figurehead in NBA history and a keen car enthusiast, once owned a striking navy blue BMW 850i that was first bought in 1991. This model is especially intriguing.
It's not just the celebrity history that makes it special, but also the AC Schnitzer modification package. This German tuner provided aerodynamic components and rims for the car, which also comes equipped with a MagnaFlow exhaust system. This addition helps the five-liter V12, boasting 300 HP, to function at its full capacity.
Important to note is its six-speed manual transmission, and the mileage still under 31,000 miles. Currently sold by its second owner, the car is in good technical shape.
The CarFax report confirms it's accident-free and has all its legal matters appropriately handled. And most significantly, its first owner was a notable celebrity. Little wonder that the listing on Bringatrailer.com has generated such attention. The auction concludes on January 8. It'll be interesting to see what the final bidding price turns out to be.
