YOU don't dock it. You wait for the Harbor Pilot to come aboard for that.

Looks good but I cant seem to shake the thought that it looks way to similar to the 6 series coupe. Do you agree? Also are tires runflats?

Maybe in the photos it looks similar to the 6 series, but in person it doesn’t. Personally I think the 6 series was one of the worst cars BMW has made. I think the 850i is gorgeous and a bargain at $120k.

I owned a 2006 M6 that was just a terrible car. The transmission shifted so badly I thought it was defective, but the dealer told me it was fine. Also, it depreciated like a rock. Also, that car had a 10 cylinder engine that got like 10mpg around town. All in all a bad car.

I think the looks will grow on me, gotta see it in person to make final call. Black on black is nice! in almost any car.

Saw the 850 in person today. I was hoping to be blown away by it but I wasn't. Don't get me wrong it's nice but I wouldn't pull the trigger. The first thing that stood out was length of the car and how low it sat. I didn't like the look of the exhaust with the small pipes showing through. I hate that. The low profile tires leave too much of a gap between the wheel wells. I wish BMW would go away from the rear bumper vents along with the front. To me it gives a space ship look. Make it more classic. The interior is gorgeous!

color white is not right for 8 series. The shoes are too small too. The rest, great!

I agree. I don't like black wheels though, it almost never look good and makes the car IMO look "cheaper" as well.
