Looking at a '95 850 850

The 95's actually have a 70K service interval for the timing
belts (my wife drives one). It is an interference engine so
you need to take care of this (I've done it myself and it is not
too hard).

For common repair procedures see (this will give you an idea
of what is involved):

The engine bay has pleanty of room. Especially compared
to cars with a V6. The hoods even still go up a full 90
degrees just like the older cars. The good news is the engine
is fairly robust so you should not have to go inside it.
Tune-up parts are easy to get at.

It is a bit tighter under the hood then a 200 series since the
engine is in sideways but it really is no big deal.
