You can pick some of those up pretty cheap in relationship to its original MSRP, especially the 850(V12 engine).....
But parts are expensive for them. :beat

Seems like engine electronics, with two banks of engine controls one seems to go out and leaves you with a 6 cylinder. Throttle actuators might be the more common failure of it. Everything is tucked in tight too. :banghead

Bitchen ass car to drive...but a bit on the heavy feeling side for a sports car coupe'.
The 8 series car was basically a flop after the incredible success of the original 6 series...hense the return of the 6 series a few years back.

oh yeah, expensiveness of the parts(mainly the V12 model) seems like about 2x a similar part on a different model........Had a few instances where some cheap guys bought an 850 cheap but then found out why they got it cheap. Some repairs cost them the price of a whole new Kia or Hyundai. :laugh
