Introduction
Jacob Boodrie
Up there with the heavyweights of the 90s luxury coupes - all Aluminium V8 and sleek European styling.
The 8 Series is truly an iconic car that was far ahead of its time when it was launched at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show. The E31 represents the first-generation variant of this grand tourer, based on the E24 6 Series platform. To boost sales, BMW introduced a 200kg lighter and more affordable 8 Series, badged as the 840Ci. This 2-door coupe is powered by the large and reliable V8 4.0L M60B40 engine, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission, delivering a power output of ~286bhp.
This particular example comes to the market after ~25 years of ownership, with just 2 keeper before. The car has been resprayed at the start of this year in the factory colour of "Oxford Green Metallic", and a few interior elements worked on too, to bring the car up the standard you see today.
This listing was written from information supplied by Jacob after meeting Brian the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
