The V8 model successfully bridged the gap between a sports car and a luxury GT, offering an inviting cabin characterised by sumptuous luxury, high build quality, and typical BMW ergonomics.Designed for effortless high-speed cruising, the 8 Series was initially undersold, making it a well-kept secret appreciated for its natural abilities as a premium coupe. The 1993 upgrade introduced the 282bhp 4.4-litre M62 V8, which delivered ample torque and respectable cruising fuel economy.This well-maintained 1996 840Ci, finished in 'Orient Blue' with 'Silver-Grey' leather, boasts the desirable 6-speed manual gearbox and has remained under the custodianship of our vendor for an impressive 27 years, having had only one previous keeper.
