In 1993, hip-hop icon LL Cool J (born James Todd Smith) released his fifth album, "14 Shots to the Dome." The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and among the four singles it spawned was "Pink Cookies in a Plastic Bag Getting Crushed by Buildings."

"Pink Cookies" was made into a video starring the East Coast rapper cruising in a cherry 1991 BMW 850i. The 8 Series, which also goes by chassis code E31, was produced from 1989-1999. The 850i launched with a 5-liter V12, yielding 300 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual was standard, but LL's Beemer was equipped with a four-speed automatic.

Check out this two-door beauty in action:

The MSRP for this luxury car was about $75, 000 when it was new, and for that you got a standard airbag (on the driver's side), ABS, power everything, sunroof, heated and cooled seats, automatic climate control, heated mirrors and washer jets, first aid kit, tinted glass and AM/FM stereo with cassette and CD player.

The listing for the BMW states that fewer than 50 examples were produced with this color combination of a black exterior/silver interior. The car appears to be in good condition, considering the fact that it is approaching a quarter century in age. The odometer reads a low 73, 000 miles. LL's chrome Momo wheels have been replaced with less flashy aftermarket deep-dish wheels. The car also features the bumpers and mirrors from the sportier 850CSi. Bonus points for the nostalgic car phone.

You can take this piece of hip-hop history home for $14, 000. These cars were among the most advanced in the world upon their introduction and consequently, the new-fangled electronics and other gadgetry tend to go wrong as time go by — it had built-in redundancies, that is, two of everything, including ECUs, so that if one goes wrong, the other can get you home. If you do not mind the immense repair and maintenance bills that will inevitably spring up, you could have yourself a very nice boulevard luxury cruiser.
