Vehicle Detail
The engine was changed and it has 110k miles. Design of the 8 Series began in 1986, with construction starting in the same year. The 8 Series debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA) in early September 1989. The 8 Series was designed to move beyond the market of the original 6 Series. The 8 Series however had substantially improved performance, as well as a far higher purchase price. Over 1.5 billion Deutschemark was spent on total development. BMW used CAD tools, still unusual at the time, to design the car's all-new body. Combined with wind tunnel testing, the resulting car had a drag coefficient of 0.29, a major improvement from the previous BMW M6/635CSi's 0.39. Sales of the 8 Series were affected by the global recession of the early 1990s, the Persian Gulf War, and energy price spikes. BMW pulled the 8 Series out of the North American market in 1997, selling only 7,232 cars over seven years. BMW continued production for Europe until 1999. The ultimate worldwide production total was merely 31,062. The car you see here is an incredible 1995 BMW 840Ci. Finished in white with gray and black leather. The paint on the car has some minor flaws and shows only a few very minor nicks and dings. The front and rear bumpers both look great and show no damage to either. The black leather interior has been sprayed by the previous owner black and the dash board retains the gray original. The seats show signs of cracking in the paint. Power functions work except the door locks. Carpets, door panels, kick panels and headliner all look good. Center console shows no cracking and all functions work on the radio and climate control. The A/C blows ice cold. Under the hood, the V8 starts and runs as it should, however, it needs a new fuel regulator. These cars have incredible engines with tons of power. The V8's are a much more popular engine for these cars since they are far less prone to problems and if they do, MUCH cheaper to repair then their V12 counterparts. In the trunk, both batteries have been recently replaced and the tools are still intact under the trunk lid. Current mileage shows 207,305, which is actual for the cat the engine has 110k on it. VIN number is WBAEF632XSCC89989. The car is being sold on a clean North Carolina title. There are some imperfection but the car drives strong everyday driver.
