Car in the background is why front parking sensors exist.

Always thought those wheels suited that so much.

Nice car.

Thanks for the comments, I'm rather impressed with it so far, it's only covered 32000 miles and was by far the nicest example I went to see, new tyres, new discs and pads, just serviced and full bmw history.

The performance is effortless which makes a pleasant change from the type r.

Does it have an LSD or is it 'one tyre fire'?

No LSD as far as I'm aware, however when watching back another video it shows me sliding around the last sequence, It was only the rear tyre under load that was actually smoking, seemed a little counter-intuitive

Nice. What trim level is this? Looks more tasteful than an M sport!

Bargain! I'd have snapped that up myself.

It's se spec but with the full aero kit, I was originally looking for an M sport but couldn't justify the extra outlay for some badges, I'm glad I didn't as I quite like the way it looks. I will get some better pictures up when I get the chance. smile

Blimey, makes my £595 535i seem expensive! That's had a ton of owners but had averaged under 6000 miles a year, ticked over 100k on the way home. What's your 523i done?

Lovely..... Tell us more 840 Ci with Sport wheels? How many miles? I think the E31 8 series has always been a very underestimate car and sure to be a classic prices are definitely on the up so hang on to it.. (but I would say that)hehe

850ci

8 cylinders aren't quite enough.

134k miles. Automatic - wish it was a manual!

But a lovely waft - surprisingly quick to 80+. Handles OK too for a car of its weight.

Exhaust too quiet for my liking - but anything too loud would probably drone.
