The best there ever was. No, we’re not necessarily referring to this BMW 850i, which you can bid on right now.

It’s former owner on the other hand? He gets called the GOAT more often than he does Michael Jordan. Yes, that Michael Jordan – basketball superstar, six-time NBA champ, six-time MVP ranked – the very same.

The man’s a sporting icon and indeed, a bit of a tastemaker. The logo depicting him leaping for the net is as recognisable as Nike’s own tick. This BMW it seems too, is evidence that he’s got really rather great taste in cars.

Bought brand new in 1991, the V12-engined, manual-transmissioned super GT was almost immediately festooned with the deliciously dished AC Schnitzer 17-inch wheels you see on it here. They work beautifully we reckon with the 850’s Mauritius Blue paint scheme.

It’s covered just 30,000 miles in its 32 years and has been looked after very nicely judging by the car’s condition. That’s not to say it’s some sort of undriven queen. It also comes equipped with some massaged vocals courtesy of a MagnaFlow exhaust. The only bit that’s not working as it should, at least according to the ad, is the air conditioning.

It looks to be worth every bit of the $71,000 it’s currently sitting it. With just a few short days left for bidding, whoever snags it will be getting a slam dunk.
