Introduction
Alan Stuart
Distinctive, luxurious, powerful and innovative – in the 90's this was BMW’s flagship offering, and it’s easy to understand why.
Launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1989 the 8 Series was BMW’s flagship line. Available only as a 2 door pillarless coupe, the E31 came in both V12 and V8 form and was marketed as a luxuriously appointed grand tourer.
The distinctive exterior included pop up headlights and the shark like appearance set it apart from the contemporary BMW range. Powered by BMW’s M60, 4.0L V8 delivering ~282BHP to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic gearbox, the 840 Ci is capable of 0-60MPH in 7 seconds and a governed top speed of 155MPH.
This car is a 1995 model with only ~38,499 miles on the clock. It’s finished in a deep metallic red over an ivory interior. While this 8 Series could be brought up a level with some TLC from an enthusiast, it is ready to use and enjoy from the get go.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Alan meeting Pete the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Tried to bid — but it’s asking jump increments of £200?!
Hi, thanks for additional info — if for any reason it doesn’t sell via auction — more than happy to discuss/make an offer. I will keep my eye on bids. Regards, Dav
Hi, no problem. So ebay figure is wildly inaccurate?! Or is that the reserve? Your car does look like a great starting point to take to the ‘next level’ — but as you’ve recognised paintwork needs attention and sea air hasn’t been kind to the underside… so need to factor that in. Is there any reason why it’s had very little use? Was it always bought as an investment? In your video you’ve mentioned ‘suspension has been done’ What work has been done? Do all the electrics work as they should? Air con, has compressor failed or does it just need re-gassed? Regards, Dav

Hi, looks like a lovely example, hat off to you for maintaining to such a high standard. On ebay there is a figure of £13,250. Is that your reserve or the ‘buy it now’ figure? Regards, Dav
