Congrats on the purchase. That's one of maybe 5 cars I'd trade my SVX for.

maybe problematic wasn't the right word (although the V8's in the 840 had Nikasil problems).
LOTS of electronics, late 80's/early 90's technology, 12+ (?) years old, BMW prices on top of 850 model obscurity.
sounds like a recipe for a hole in the wallet.
