Description

A truly resplendent example of the first-generation BMW 840i (E31), presented in exceptionally original condition and accompanied by an extensive history file. Combining timeless grand touring elegance with unmistakable 1990s BMW engineering, this Arctic Silver Metallic 840i remains one of the marque’s most iconic modern classics.

History & Provenance - This 1994 BMW 840i has been meticulously maintained both mechanically and cosmetically throughout its life. The original BMW service booklet contains no fewer than 12 BMW main dealer service stamps, complemented by dozens of specialist invoices and supporting documentation contained within a substantial history file. The last owner cherished the vehicle from 2012 onwards, commissioning several condition and insurance valuation reports during ownership. The car has always been dry stored and consequently presents with no rust concerns.

Included with the vehicle are:

  • Original BMW on-board folder

  • Fully maintained service booklet

  • Extensive invoice history

  • Multiple valuation and condition reports

  • New German TÜV inspection

  • Historic registration status eligibility, offering considerably reduced road tax

Exterior - Finished in elegant Arctic Silver Metallic, the bodywork remains remarkably original. Aside from the bonnet, which has previously been repainted due to common stone-chip wear, the car still retains its factory paintwork. Penned under the direction of Klaus Kapitza, the E31’s development began as early as 1981 before its dramatic debut at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show. Its futuristic styling stunned the automotive world at launch and continues to command attention over three decades later. The car sits on period-correct and highly desirable 18-inch BMW Cross-Spoke alloy wheels — among the most expensive wheel options available when new. These are fitted with new tyres: Rear: 265/35 ZR18 & Front: 235/40 ZR18 The original factory alloy wheels are also included with the vehicle.

Interior - The interior showcases BMW’s superb craftsmanship of the era, featuring beautifully preserved Nappa leather seats and the distinctive aircraft-inspired centre console design synonymous with the E31. Unlike many E31 models, the headlining in this example remains in excellent condition.

Equipment includes:

  • Becker Cascade Pro Traffic audio system

  • Original BMW factory radio also included

  • Electric seats with memory function

  • Heated front seats

  • Electric front and rear windows

  • Electric side mirrors

  • Leather steering wheel

  • Central locking with remote control

  • Fog lights

  • Non-smoking interior

Engine & Transmission - Powered by the renowned BMW M60B40 V8 engine paired with a smooth 5-speed automatic transmission, the 840i delivers: 286 PS (210 kW) & 3,982 cc displacement. Performance remains refined, effortless, and unmistakably grand touring in character. As detailed above, the vehicle benefits from a comprehensive maintenance history supported by 12 BMW service stamps and an extensive portfolio of specialist invoices. The car has also been fitted with German TÜV approved stainless steel braided brake lines.

In 2007, the car was professionally fitted with an LPG gas conversion system, significantly improving fuel economy while maintaining practicality and usability. The discreet filler location is neatly integrated beneath the right rear bumper, while the tank is installed within the spare wheel well without compromising luggage space. A tyre compressor is also supplied in the boot.

Summary - It is remarkable to consider that these once futuristic, almost science-fiction-like BMW grand tourers are now over 30 years old and increasingly recognised as true modern classics. The E31 remains one of BMW’s boldest and most technologically ambitious designs — and this exceptionally original, comprehensively documented 840i represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly usable collector-grade example.
