BMW 850 CSI: The Forgotten V12 Super Coupe | Jay Leno's Garage ft. Jason Cammisa

jwong77 · 01-28-2025, 07:36 PM

Jay Leno and Cammisa should host a car show together.

Seba77W · 01-28-2025, 10:18 PM

Great video. What a car. And yes I do enjoy both of these guys talking about cars for sure.

Louis barron · 01-29-2025, 01:22 AM

I just watch the video and what came to my mind is ain't nothing like a vintage BMW that shit dope

th3cardude · 01-29-2025, 04:10 AM

I see myself in one of this

Been loving these unique and older gt couples lately. This color is perfection. Funny how much a car like this stands out now among the newer designs of today. I also agree these two work well together on camera.

This video is definitely worth watching.

I have watched tons of his videos and maybe he does inject some humour into them but that sets them apart from many other "presenters".

Leno: "It's like a hooker who can cook, I'm not really here for the sandwiches".

I always liked him fine, but like him more now.

This is a very gorgeous coupe indeed. I was a high school when this came out & always drooled when I saw one. The 850CSI is a rare machine & would be worth a lot not. But it's a pure pleasure to drive. And yes, the induction noise needs to be amped up a touch too. Wish there was a nice exhaust clip once Jay Leno started it up.

Steezsmith · 01-30-2025, 11:58 AM

Amazing

hufington · 01-30-2025, 09:44 PM

My best friend from college just bought a '94 850CSI in Germany for 72k Euros. Can't wait to visit him this summer and drive it on the A31 Autobahn.

TunaNoCrust · 01-30-2025, 11:45 PM

Great video. Really enjoyed seeing a classic BMW on the road...

KevinM · 01-31-2025, 11:51 PM

Video aside, the 850 CSi is a jewel. I am out of garage space and discretionary money for another car, but I would love to add this car or an E24 M6 to my collection at some point.

At the risk of creating strife, I'll say I actually like Cammisa.

Finally someone says it. He does make me roll my eyes a bit, but he’s entertaining and seems to care about all the right things. None of his videos are clickbaity, they’re all about genuinely interesting or iconic cars

He’s miles ahead of Doug Demuro- who probably is a better businessman than car personality at this point.

Jason seems to love cars and never comes across as snobby like Doug or even Tyler Hoover.

monkeytail · 02-03-2025, 10:12 AM

Great!

NorCalAthlete · 02-03-2025, 10:28 AM

I've been seeing one of these - albeit in poorly maintained condition - in one of the Santana Row parking garages in San Jose. Not the condo / apartment garage either, just the public one. Not sure if it's someone's daily driver / project car or just a poorly maintained one being semi-stored there but it caught my eye a few times, enough to notice that it seemed to be there regularly.

It would be epic if BMW made another V12....

Yeah but that's why top gear did goofy things too--there's a bigger audience than just curmudgeony car enthusiasts, there are younger kids growing up on YouTube and goofy works on a wide audience without being too serious.

Can't deny he does his research and employs excellent video teams

John Oliver's episode on Monica Lewinsky basically set in stone that I think he's an asshole

Absolutely agree. Doesn't mean I can't have the opinion I have.

His handling of Stuttering John did it for me.
