Chassis No: WBAEF82010CC66609
MOT: January 2023
When the Klaus Kapitza designed 8 Series was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1989, it felt like a glimpse into the future with its angular styling. An upmarket range with superior performance and price tag to match, the 8 Series was designed to be a standalone premium model although seen to be the successor to the 6 Series. The 8 Series was offered in 830i, 840Ci and 850i/ Ci form and, when introduced in mid-1993, it was fitted with a 4 litre, V8 engine mated to either a five-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. Producing a very healthy 282bhp, this version could achieve the 0-62mph sprint in an impressive 6.9 seconds; importantly with the naturally aspirated V8, acceleration was effortless and refined.
Finished in a very special Daytona Violet Metallic, with an attractively complementing Light Grey leather upholstered interior, the 840 Ci offered has been in its current ownership since August 2003. With c.159,500 recorded miles displaying on the odometer, ‘R84 FOU’ has benefitted from a refurbishment of its 4-speed automatic transmission, a new windscreen 3,500 miles ago and in May of this year it had fresh oil and a filter and new front bushes. We are informed by the vendor the 840 has had just 3 private keepers however more are shown on the V5c due to previous company ownership. Understood to be finished in special order paint 'R84 FOU' is offered with the original book pack, handbook, service book and a collection of invoices.
