Im looking into getting the 850Ci or the i and im wanting to know if anyone can tell me if there is a common issue with them and i will be doing all the maintenance on it right when i get it all new oils and fluids breaks so on and so forth. I understand these are amazing cars and all but i just want to be prepared.

Check bimmerforums, it has a more extensive forum dedicated to the 8's with a DIY/info thread.
One thing that seems to plague all of them is failing capacitors in the General Module. I just picked up my '97 850Ci last week, and had issues with the GM already. Easy, cheap fix.
