Stored since 2017, for recommissioning and light restoration
Presented in Oxford Green with a soft Mushroom Nappa leather interior, this late 840ci Sport was first registered in February 1998, fitted with the full M-Sport package of aerodynamics and suspension modifications. The 840 was also specified with an electric sunroof, electrically operated sports seats and climate control, also JVC stereo with CD changer.
Offered with a printout showing earlier dealer history with (by 2002) a total of 12 service visits up to 85, 000 miles, since 2017 the BMW has been dry stored and unused. During this storage period sadly the exhaust’s catalytic converter was stolen, so whilst the engine turns over the car currently does not start. Additionally the brakes will need attention due to a split in the brake hoses, the nearside rear suspension strut is faulty, and the heating system intermittent. The BMW’s bodywork is generally very straight, with minor localised paint defects and some corrosion to the rear arches.
Priced competitively to allow for future expenditure, with afurther attention we are sure this stylish big BMW will be ready to cross continents again before long.
This classic vehicle will be coming to auction with Dore & Rees Auctions on Saturday 21st September at the Castle Combe Autumn Classic. For further information please contact the Motoring department.
