Five-speed automatic. Rear-wheel steer Looks fabulous in Brilliant Red with a sumptuous Dark Grey leather interior Current mileage 43,351. MoT valid until 11/07/19 Original Service Book and handbooks present together with its spare key Built between 1989 and 1999, the BMW 8-Series was offered with a V8 or V12 engine and whilst commonly thought to be a successor to the 6-Series models it was, in fact, a new series entirely designed to be BMW's 'flagship' and thus command a premium price with looks and performance to match. The 840Ci was produced with two different engines the first of which was a 4-litre V8 M60B40 unit producing 286bhp and fitted from 1993 to late 1995. This was later changed to a new 4.4-litre V8 M60B40 unit which produced the same power output but had significantly better torque. Available with a 5-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual gearbox, the only external distinguishing features from the earlier V12 models were the quad round exhausts. As well as stupendous performance - 0-60mph in around 5.8 seconds and an electronically limited maximum speed of 155mph - the 8-Series offered the latest in suspension technology, featuring computerised monitoring and adjustment of damper settings, and some rear-wheel steering. Reportedly 3,075 examples of the 4.4-litre V8 BMW 840 Ci had found homes when production finished in May 1999. This lovely example is finished in Brilliant Red with a Dark Grey leather interior and was registered new on the island of Guernsey on 24/09/1996 by Jackson BMW with the registration number 11000. It arrived in England on 1/12/2016 and has been enjoyed by three previous owners, two in Guernsey and one over here. The current indicated mileage is 43,351 and the MoT is valid until 11/07/19. The original Service Book and handbooks are present together with its spare key.
