Background Story of this 1997 BMW 840Ci

Overview of 1997 BMW 840Ci For Sale by Owner

BMW’s 8-Series was first introduced in 1990 as a sleek and angular luxury coupe. With its eye-catching design and excellent aerodynamics, the first-generation 8-Series was also the world’s first production car to pair a V12 engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. Offered exclusively with either a V8 or a V12, the 8-Series represented the pinnacle of BMW’s grand touring capability — a blend of power, luxury, and innovation that still defines the brand’s heritage. Presented here is a 1997 BMW 840Ci from Key Largo, Florida — a low-mileage example showing fewer than 32,000 miles. Under its long hood lies the more economical yet still exciting 4.4L V8 engine, delivering smooth, effortless performance. If you’re looking for a stylish grand tourer that’s both a collector-grade classic and a comfortable daily driver, this 840Ci perfectly fits the bill.

Exterior and Interior

The angular design of the 8-Series was the work of Klaus Kapitza, and it remains one of the most distinctive shapes ever to emerge from BMW. Its wedge-like profile, pop-up headlamps, and wide stance create a presence that’s instantly recognizable. This example wears Alpine White (code 300) paint — a non-metallic finish that perfectly accentuates its sculpted lines. Up front, the slim dual kidney grilles are flanked by integrated turn signals and driving lamps, while the rear features bold taillamps and quad exhaust tips. The car rides on period-correct 16-inch forged alloy BMW Style 8 wheels by BBS, finished in silver metallic, enhancing both appearance and performance through reduced unsprung weight. Inside, the cabin is trimmed in parchment leather, complemented by two-tone tan and brown dash panels with genuine wood veneer accents. Accessed via frameless doors, the 2+2 interior provides plush seating and typical BMW ergonomics. Features include dual-zone climate control, cruise control, power seats, and a comprehensive trip computer. The original radio has been upgraded to a Clarion Bluetooth head unit with USB and AUX inputs, while the factory BMW CD changer remains mounted in the trunk. Altogether, this 840Ci blends 1990s tech-luxury charm with timeless design in a grand tourer that’s both elegant and effortlessly usable today.

Engine

Under the hood, the naturally aspirated 4.4L V8 delivers characteristic BMW smoothness and durability. The ZF 5HP24 automatic transmission ensures seamless shifts, while power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering and independent suspension give the car a composed yet sporty ride. Standard features include traction control (ASC+T), four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, and electronically adjustable seats, highlighting BMW’s focus on refinement and advanced engineering.

The popularity of the Grand Touring (GT) car segment is undeniable in today's automotive landscape, but its origins can be traced back to 1950s Europe. Among the manufacturers venturing into this realm, BMW, the renowned German luxury sports car maker, had been exploring the creation of GT models. However, it was not until 1990 that BMW unveiled the dedicated Grand Touring model, the BMW 8 Series, marking a significant milestone for the brand. The BMW 8 Series, now in its second generation, made its debut in 1990 and continued until 1999 for its first generation. The initial iteration, known as the BMW E31, was a captivating and beautifully crafted 2-door coupe that exemplified BMW's commitment to elegance and performance. Presenting a rare opportunity, a 1994 BMW 840Ci is currently available for acquisition. Aspiring owners of this unique 1994 BMW 840Ci should be aware of the remarkable heritage and allure associated with the BMW 8 Series. This rare gem offers a chance to own a piece of automotive history that represents the pinnacle of BMW's dedication to the Grand Touring segment, combining luxurious comfort, exhilarating performance, and unmistakable style.

2026 BMW M4 Competition

PENDING SALE
$104,000

BMW’s range has grown quite a bit over the past decade or so. You’ve got their electric ‘i’ range of course, then there’s the X range of SUVs, and of course the well-known number series of cars. Even here, gaps have been filled – for example the best-known 3,5 and 7 have now been joined by 1,2,4,6 and 8. Today, we have a 2026 BMW M4, which as you can possibly guess, is from the 4-Series. The 4-Series sits just above the 3-Series, as a spin-off from its coupe and convertible variants. But wait, BMW also made a 4-Series Gran Coupe, which is a four-door. Confusing much? Don’t worry because, as the name tells us, this M4 from Valparaiso, Florida, is the hottest 4-Series you can buy, and it’s a sleek two-door coupe. With a highly sought after premium exterior color and a superbly potent twin turbo six under the hood, it’s the perfect family car for an enthusiast, replete with only 1,300 miles to its name.

2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive

PENDING SALE
$94,000

Forged from the desire to really make the Ultimate Driving Machine, the BMW M3 first appeared on BMW’s E30 generation of 3-Series, way back in 1986. Since then, every 3-Series, right up to the current G80 generation has had a corresponding M3. Throughout its life so far, the M3 has had four, six and eight-cylinder power. It’s enjoyed natural aspiration and forced induction. It’s been made in coupe, convertible, sedan and station wagon forms. But one thing has always remained true, its amazing enthusiast-pleasing driving manners. You see, the M3 isn’t about outright speed and power. It's never been about that. Instead, its about providing a package that’s engaging to drive and practical to live with. This G80-era 2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive Sedan is living proof of that ethos. It’s a four-door sedan with all-wheel drive, the Executive Package, Carbon Fiber Trim Package and even a Matte Black PPF! And yet, it’s supremely amazing to drive while being able to carry your family on their regular errands. If you’re interested, this 21,380-mile car is currently available in Lima, Ohio.

2020 Aston Martin DB11 Volante

PENDING SALE
$144,999

Selecting an Aston Martin as your next vehicle shows that you are a certain sort of person. The type that appreciates British design and sports car engineering, and most likely, a James Bond fan at heart too. This iconic British automaker has had a long association with Ian Fleming’s superspy, in film at least. In the books, Bond is a Bentley man, but when the films were being produced, Aston Martin became the selected vehicle of Mr. Bond. In fact, you can find Aston Martins in over half of the Bond films produced to date. Today’s Aston Martin of choice is a 2020 Aston Martin DB11 Volante from Fort Myers, Florida. The DB11 debuted 2016 and was made until 2023, in coupe and convertible (Volante) forms. This particular example packs a twin-turbo V8 and just under 6,100 miles on the clock.
