In 1981, pop-music sensation Andy Gibb was at the top of the charts. The younger brother of Barry, Robin, and Maurice, a.k.a. The Bee Gees, commenced a tumultuous romance with actress Victoria Principle, who played Pam Ewing on Dallas, TV's then-Number 1 prime-time series. But after the relationship ended, Andy's life, already challenged by substance abuse, did as well. This is their tragic story.

Spoiler alert: If you haven't seen the Steve McQueen's movie Le Mans and don't want to know how it ends, might we interest you in clicking to another Autoblog post?. Monterey Car Week gathers the perfect audience for a bauble such as this, the 1970 Porsche 917K hero car from the 1971 movie Le Mans. Steve McQueen's Solar Productions bought chassis 917-022 from Porsche to be the #20 car his character in the film, Michael Delaney, attempts to pilot to cinematic victory at La Sarthe. According to behind-the-scenes tales, after Delaney crashed the #20 beyond repair in the film (actually a Lola wearing 917 bodywork), the crew repainted the car as the #21 917 that Delaney took over for the final stint and drove to second place. That's a key point here: Second place. The winning car in Le Mans is a different chassis. The lure of this car is that it's the one McQueen bought for the film and drove, and the one he signed afterward with, "'Finished.' Thanks for staying together."

Our friend Jason Cammisa of Hagerty tells today the story of the BMW 850 CSi. And what a story that is. In 1993, BMW introduced the 850 CSi, which has become the holy grail of the 8 Series as only 1,519 were made worldwide, with just 225 reaching the United States. As Cammisa explains in the video below, reviews of the E31 8 Series were far from kind. But BMW had an ace up its sleeve: the M Division. This is how the BMW 850 CSi was born.
