1996 BMW 840Ci for sale
Current customer rating: (327 votes ) based onThe Klaus Kapitza-designed 8-Series (chassis code E31) was
launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1989. Though it effectively
replaced the 6-Series. it was originally intended as an additional
model line - an upmarket range with superior performance and price
tag to match. During its ten year reign. the 8-Series was offered
in 830i. 840Ci and 850i/Ci form. of which the 840Ci was the second
most popular variant. When introduced in mid-1993. it was fitted
with a four litre. V8 engine mated to either a five-speed automatic
or a six-speed manual transmission. With 282bhp on tap. this
version could achieve the 0-62mph sprint in an impressive 6. 9
seconds. The fully independent suspension featured struts at the
front and an innovative multi-link system with coil springs on the
rear. Steering was by ball and nut and braking by discs all round -
vented at the front; solid at the rear. Over 1. 5 billion Deutsche
Marks are said to have been spent on the car's design and
development. Though electronically limited to 155mph. the most
powerful 8-Series models had a potential top speed of almost
190mph.
Originally registered on 11th January 1996. this
striking righthand drive BMW 840Ci is equipped with the optional
five-speed automatic transmission. The metallic green coachwork is
in excellent order. as is the light grey leather interior. A superb
service history accompanies N245 XGM. with the original service
book showing 15 stamps and a comprehensive collection of invoices.
Whilst the odometer currently reads 147. 90 miles. the correct
mileage is actually 103. 73 miles. A replacement instrument cluster
was fitted in September 2009 and the owner could only locate a
second-hand unit showing 43. 17 miles more than the original unit. br/>this is documented in the history file. Supplied with a V5
registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until
14th June 2015. we are advised by the vendor that "she
drives as good as she looks". The 8-Series BMW is a magnificent
design with superb ergonomics. A well cared for example such as
this is surely one for the future.
