Michael Jordan’s 1991 BMW 850i is up for sale, according to Bring a Trailer’s live auction.
The NBA legend purchased the vintage car in 1991, the same year he launched his famous “Like Mike” Gatorade commercial, and it’s now for sale by a private dealer who acquired the car in 1995 BMW 8 Series.
The current highest bid, a whopping $70,023, was made on Thursday, with 15 bids as of Thursday.
Jordan originally purchased the luxury vehicle new from Motor Werks in Barrington, Illinois, and it currently sits in Glencoe with 30,000 miles on it, 22,000 of which were added under current ownership, according to the auction page.
Photos show that the car has “M AIR J” license plates on the front and rear.
The BMW 8 Series also featured a power sunroof and tailgate on the trunk, as seen in a photo of Jordan driving the car outside Wrigley Field in Chicago on April 4, 1993, the opening day of Major League Baseball.
This coincided with the end of Jordan and the Bulls’ first NBA three-peat. Jordan left to try for a Major League Baseball (MLB) career before returning in 1995 and winning three more NBA titles.
At the time, the car appeared to be painted black with a dark interior.
The BMW features Light Parchment leather upholstery and Mauritius Blue Metallic paint.
The rims are also similar to those seen in Jordan’s 1993 photo.
The 17-inch multi-piece AC Schnitzer wheels are shod with 235/45 front and 275/40 rear Continental ExtremeContact tires that were installed in 2023, according to the auction page.
The car exudes ’90s nostalgia with an AM/FM/cassette stereo, trunk-mounted CD changer, pop-up headlights and fog lights.
The seller also states that the front bumper cover, hood, and front fenders have all been refinished.
The auction ends on January 8th.
