Description
KEY FACTS This BMW 840 Ci is a highly distinctive modern classic grand tourer in a desirable specification. Powered by a 4.4-litre M62 V8 engine, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission. First registered in 1997, this is an Australian-delivered car. It is understood that only 3,075 examples of the 4.4-litre variant of the 840 Ci were delivered worldwide. The odometer shows 155,801 km, which the seller believes to be the genuine total. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES Finished in metallic dark grey over a black leather-trimmed interior. It rides on 18-inch M Parallel-style alloy wheels fitted with low-profile tyres. Equipment includes electrically adjustable front seats, an electric sunroof, and a boot-mounted CD stacker. It has been enhanced with aerodynamic M/CSi-style exterior mirrors, an M steering wheel with contrast stitching, and quad round exhaust tailpipes. Accompanied by a full set of keys and spare parts, as collected and shown in the photos. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.

SERVICE HISTORY The seller states that it was last serviced in August 2026 at 155,641 km in preparation for sale. Some earlier maintenance history is shown via the paperwork in the photo gallery. SUMMARY The E31-generation BMW 8 Series was one of the most ambitious and technologically advanced grand tourers of its era, admired for its low wedge-shaped profile and pillarless windows. This particular 840 Ci features the desirable later 4.4-litre M62 V8, and benefits from tasteful enhancements including 18-inch M Parallel-style wheels. With recent servicing, this distinctive modern classic remains genuinely enjoyable and comfortable to drive over long distances, ready to offer its next owner a captivating blend of performance and luxury.
