Our Take:
- Understated Luxury with a Twist: The 1995 BMW 840Ci was a part of the E31 series, a line famous for its elegant yet sporty design. Its 4.0-liter V8 engine, capable of 282 hp, was quite the performer back in the day—and it still holds its own today. This was a time when BMW was making a clear statement: luxury doesn't have to mean you can't have a bit of fun behind the wheel.
- Collector's Gem with Modern Enhancements: With just 64,500 original miles, this model has lived a relatively pampered life, spending most of its days snug in a garage. The modifications, like the 18” M Parallel wheels and the Dinan strut tower brace, add a touch of modern performance flair, making it more than just a classic; it's a classic that's been tastefully updated to keep pace with modern driving expectations.
- Rarity and Design Appeal: The E31 8 Series is a bit of a rare bird—particularly in Cosmos Black Metallic with a blue flake—and even more so in this condition. The design was all about sweeping lines and a low profile, reminiscent of the grand tourers from the heyday of automotive design. It remains a head-turner, especially with the two-tone leather interior that whispers sophistication.
- Well-Documented and Maintained: Extensive maintenance records show a history of thorough care, which can be a huge relief for potential buyers. From the trunk seal gasket replaced in 2017 to the steering wheel update in 2024, these meticulous records underscore a commitment to keeping this car running smoothly. Not every day you see a car from the '90s with such a detailed and consistent service history!
