1996 BMW 840 CI 4.4 V8 INDIVIDUAL M62 ENGINE AUTOMATIC Complete Service History (Just Serviced) Rare Estoril Blue/Ivory Nappa 1 Of 139 Made Style 5 2 Piece Split Rims Wonderful Condition 109,000 Miles First registered and pre delivery inspected by Green Bower BMW on 07.08.1996 and was continued to be serviced by the supplying dealer for the first 10 years spanning more than 72000 miles. The service book details 11 service stamps together with a thick wad of bills repairing many of the typical issues that the model is known for being compromised with as time shifts on (detailed below). Five owners with the most recent keeper’s tenure dating back to 2011 and he looked after his 8 series extremely well being used as a high days and holidays ride and keeping it garaged when not in use. The car has proved extremely reliable in the time he owned it replacing parts on a precautionary basis rather than waiting for them to fail. To this end he spent in excess of £5000 keeping it tip top as documented below. Two working remote keys in good condition, with a full-size split rim alloys with a good tyre and a complete toolkit. Within the paperwork is the factory build sheet which details all the specified options when new. Estoril Blue is for many the definitive colour for the model, with very few of them being built as was an expensive option being part of the individual programme and the car carries the plaque under the bonnet to verify said. This, together with the other factory options, makes this is a very appealing investment 8 series that will bring the next owner heaps of satisfaction, and, will always be the easiest one to move on in the future and should in theory appreciate faster. In my experience Estoril Blue cars always carry a few thousand pounds premium over other shades.

Despite the higher cubic displacement, the peak power of the M62 remained the same 286 hp as in the M60B40. The engine characteristics with higher torque figures compared to the predecessor made the new E31 feel lighter and nimbler and managing to return higher mpg. Having driven both, the engines feel different to the later offering being virtually bombproof providing the cooling system is maintained. This really is the engine of choice with the ability to return 22-23 mpg average and up to 30 mpg on the run.

The E31 A sleek sophisticated 90s GT. A body shape that turns plenty of heads when driven alongside the generic Euro-boxes of today, and, prices are only going to head one way. A car that has huge presence on the road and is really rather unforgettable. The design has not dated, the pillarless body shape still looks as if it’s come from the future. This is a grand tourer of the old school, designed to cocoon its occupants across continents at a high speed, it arrives in style. With a driving position that's adjustable every-which-way and supportive leather-clad chairs, you'll get out after covering hundreds of miles feeling fresh and relaxed - and, that really is what this car's all about. And, you'll be able to spend those miles playing with the vast range of toys that come as standard. One thing it didn't lack was kit, so as well as all the usual layout-saving accoutrements you'll find items such as climate and cruise control, a superb sound system and an on-board computer stacked within the vast dashboard. The cosmetic condition is excellent with respect to paint, the engine bay is immaculate with no leaks and there are no current faults, all systems are go. The car drives wonderfully having been freshly serviced. The alloys are pristine, tyre condition is very good.
