When launched in 1989 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the BMW 8 Series felt like a glimpse into the future with its angular styling. An upmarket range with superior performance and price tag to match, the 8 Series was designed to be a stand alone premium model although seen to be the successor to the 6 Series. The 8 Series was offered in 830i, 840Ci and 850i/Ci form and from mid-1995, production phased in the newer 4.4 litre M62B44 engine, which had better fuel economy and more torque, though power output remained unchanged.

Finished in the attractive colour combination of Titanium Silver over a Black Leather interior, this V8-powered 840Ci boasts the lesser-seen 'Sport' pack comprising stiffer 'Nürburgring' suspension system, M Aerodynamics bodykit (complete with smaller door mirrors etc) and split-rim cross spoke alloy wheels. Supplied new by Bridgegate BMW and first registered as 'T246 NAU' on 27th June 1999. Accompanying this iconic 90's BMW is a service book containing eight main dealer and specialist service stamps, various sundry bills, many MoT records including an MoT with no advisories, valid until May 2025 and the current UK registration document. Interested parties should note that there is a discrepancy in the mileage on the MoT record, although on investigation it is believed to be a clear mistake. Having been part of the vendor's E31-series collection for some time this example is ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian. Consigned by Daniel Godin
