On the Surface:

A fine example of an E31 generation 8 series, this 1993 BMW 840Ci is finished in the striking Light Red, beautifully complemented by a Light Grey Nappa leather interior with Red piping. The car presents exceptionally well throughout, reflecting its careful ownership and low mileage. With just 48,750 miles on the odometer—believed to be correct—this 8 Series stands out as a well-preserved and characterful grand tourer.

Maintenance & History:

Originally supplied new to Hong Kong, China in 1993, this example was imported into the UK in November 2017. It has remained with its current registered keeper for the past four years. Included in the sale are key historical documents such as the original BMW 8 Series brochure, a BMW UK production and delivery printout, import papers and various other supporting paperwork. The vehicle benefits from a comprehensive history of care, with a collection of invoices documenting maintenance and upkeep from it's time in the UK. It comes complete with a VIN check confirming the car is clear in 12 out of 12 regions checked, offering peace of mind to prospective buyers.

The Model:

The BMW 840Ci forms part of the E31 series—a technologically advanced and design-forward coupe that redefined luxury motoring in the 1990s. Under the bonnet, a naturally aspirated 4.4-litre V8 engine delivers 286 BHP through a 5-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels. The E31 was renowned for its innovation, refinement, and distinctive pillarless side profile, making it a modern classic in high demand.

Sale Insight:

Well-presented, low-mileage E31s such as this are increasingly sought-after. This 840Ci’s rare specification, strong supporting documentation, and exceptional presentation make it an excellent candidate for both collectors and enthusiasts seeking a refined, V8-powered GT with genuine investment potential.
