It is very expebnsive but "questionable colour and challenging interior?"
Really?
That was a very popular colour especially on the E36 M3. Interior is also rather nice.
Yep, I quite like that interior tooReally?

Bit too garish on that particular model imho - I'm a fan of the 8 series and have always thought they suit a black or dark green/blue for some 'presence'.

And the E31 8 series is certainly only going one way in value.... up....!

How about £42,000 for an 840i in a questionable colour and challenging interior?

The only thing questionable is the price. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C780641
The colour is spot on but I would say that!

It's done 40 miles since restoration, but what the seller fails to mention is the previous 142,000 miles on the clock ... £35K is massively optimistic! Nice car though!Tailgater said:

Seller said:
these were proper M3 optional wheels anyway
No they weren't. They were Evo coupe standard wheels and never seen on convertibles or saloons.Edited because I made a hash of quoting.

It looks like Estoril blue...? but the add States it's Atlantis blue...? Looks nice anyway and prices are only going one way now... UP...but would be better in Dakar yellow....
Definitely Atlantis and he even states the paint code which is the same as mine. Maybe I should buy this and I could have the Atlantis collection to rival yours Craig.

The seller of that M3 is delusional. That'll never be a 35k car in my lifetime.
M3 Seller said ''whilst it is a reluctant sale, whist i could do with the room, its not a desparate one either, i wont just sell it to someone with more money than sense, who will rag it down the road and wrap it round a lamp post this is for the serious enthusiast, who i believe will look after it''
