1995 BMW 840Ci 4.0 V8 (E31) – Fully Restored | Exceptional History | A Truly Stunning Example

It is with genuine reluctance that I offer my beloved 1995 BMW 840Ci for sale. This has been my pride and joy for the last five years, but with work and other commitments, I simply don't have the time to enjoy it as it deserves. Rather than see it sit unused, I'd love it to go to someone who will appreciate, cherish and drive this incredible grand tourer.

The BMW E31 is widely regarded as one of BMW's finest achievements. Built without compromise, the 8 Series was a technological masterpiece that was years ahead of its time, combining elegant styling, exceptional build quality and effortless V8 performance. Even today, it turns heads everywhere it goes.

This is not just another 840Ci. It is an extensively restored and meticulously maintained example with an incredible history file and thousands of pounds invested in ensuring it remains one of the best examples on the road.

One of the biggest advantages of this car is that it benefits from a replacement engine fitted under BMW warranty during its life, giving valuable peace of mind. Since owning the car, I've continued to maintain it regardless of cost, always using quality parts and ensuring any work was completed properly.

The car presents beautifully both inside and out. It starts instantly, drives exactly as it should and everything operates correctly, including all the features that often fail on these cars. It is ready to be enjoyed immediately.

Condition

The car is in outstanding condition for its age and presents beautifully. It attracts attention wherever it goes and regularly receives compliments from enthusiasts and members of the public alike.

Mechanically it is excellent, with a smooth, refined V8 that delivers effortless performance exactly as BMW intended. The gearbox shifts perfectly, the suspension feels tight and composed, and it cruises comfortably whether on country roads or motorways.

Inside, the cabin remains a wonderful place to be. Everything feels solid and well-engineered, a reminder of the era when BMW built its flagship models with very little compromise.

Why Buy This Car?

Finding an E31 that has been maintained properly is becoming increasingly difficult. Many have suffered from deferred maintenance because of the costs involved, but this example has never been allowed to fall into that category.

It has been cherished, restored and maintained because I genuinely love these cars. Every improvement has been made to preserve and enhance it rather than simply prepare it for sale.

This is a rare opportunity to own a truly sorted, beautifully presented BMW 840Ci that is ready to enjoy from day one.

If you're looking for one of the finest examples available, with extensive history, significant investment and careful long-term ownership, I genuinely believe this car will not disappoint.

Serious enquiries are welcome. I am in no rush to sell and would much rather see it go to the right enthusiast who will appreciate it as much as I have.
