When the Klaus Kapitza designed 8 Series was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1989, it felt like a glimpse into the future with its angular styling. An upmarket range with superior performance and price tag to match, the 8 Series was designed to be a standalone premium model although seen to be the successor to the 6 Series. The 8 Series was offered in 830i, 840Ci and 850i/Ci form and, when introduced in mid-1993, it was fitted with a 4 litre, V8 engine mated to either a five-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. Producing a very healthy 282bhp, this version could achieve the 0-62mph sprint in an impressive 6.9 seconds; importantly with the naturally aspirated V8, acceleration was effortless and refined. Over $1 billion dollars are said to have been spent on the car's design with CAD design and wind tunnel technology. From mid-1995, production phased in the newer 4.4 litre M62B44 engine, the 4.4 Sport offered a better driving experience with considerably more torque.

Finished in the attractive colour combination of Titanium Silver over a Black Leather interior, this V8-powered 840Ci boasts the lesser-seen ‘Sport’ pack comprising stiffer ‘Nürburgring’ suspension system, M Aerodynamics bodykit (complete with smaller door mirrors etc) and split-rim cross spoke alloy wheels. Supplied new by Bridgegate BMW and first registered as ‘T246 NAU’ on 27^th June 1999, the four-seater is understood to have been off the road from 2010 – 2015. The accompanying service book contains eight main dealer and specialist service stamps but an anomaly with the MOT history means the vendor feels unable to warrant the present odometer reading of some 98,000 miles (online records suggest that the car covered over 47,000 miles in under six weeks during 2007). Joining the vendor’s E31-series collection in 2020, the grand tourer has been exhibited at various local car shows. Described by the seller as 'a good honest original car', he notes the presence of various stone chips and other cosmetic imperfections but feels that the car has never suffered any serious damage. Reportedly kept serviced, ‘T246 NAU’ is said to be in good overall mechanical condition and indeed passed its most recent MOT test with no advisories.
