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.
Overview: The E30 is the BMW that made “Ultimate Driving Machine” more than a slogan, and this 1987 BMW 325i Convertible captures that era perfectly. Showing approximately 79,970 miles, it combines the classic long-hood, short-deck proportions of BMW’s iconic compact sports sedan with the open-air appeal of a four-seat convertible. Finished in Bronzit Beige Metallic over Pearl Beige leather, it is a wonderfully period-correct specification with the smooth M20 inline-six, rear-wheel drive, and the kind of clean, analog character modern convertibles struggle to replicate.
The F83-generation BMW M4 Convertible perfectly blends open-air driving with true M Division performance, and this 2020 BMW M4 Convertible is an excellent example of that formula. Showing just 10,755 miles, it pairs its striking Black Sapphire Metallic finish with a Black Extended Merino Leather interior for a timeless appearance. Equipped with the coveted Competition Package and an increasingly rare 6-speed manual transmission, this M4 delivers an engaging driving experience backed by a potent twin-turbocharged inline-six and BMW's legendary chassis dynamics.
BMW introduced the second-generation X6 for the 2015 model year, further refining the Sports Activity Coupe formula with sharper styling, improved technology, and enhanced driving dynamics. This 2018 BMW X6 xDrive35i has traveled approximately 135,286 miles and remains an excellent choice for buyers seeking the practicality of an SUV without sacrificing the performance and handling expected from BMW. Finished in elegant Black Sapphire Metallic over a rich Cognac Dakota Leather interior, this X6 is equipped with desirable factory packages including the Driving Assistance Package and Premium Package, while tasteful aftermarket wheels give it an even more aggressive road presence.
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG Coupe represents the ultimate expression of Mercedes-Benz grand touring, combining the elegance of the S-Class with the handcrafted performance of AMG. As the flagship coupe in the lineup, the S 65 AMG was built around AMG’s legendary 6.0L twin-turbocharged V12, delivering effortless power, exceptional refinement, and a level of exclusivity rarely found in modern performance cars. Showing approximately 74,535 miles, this example is finished in Magnetite Black Metallic over a Black designo Exclusive Nappa Leather interior and features a highly optioned specification including the AMG Carbon Fiber Package, AMG Carbon Ceramic Braking System, MAGIC SKY CONTROL Panoramic Roof, and aftermarket wheels. Additional modifications such as an aftermarket exhaust, rear spoiler, and wheels give this V12 grand tourer a more aggressive presence while maintaining its luxurious character.
The DB9 Volante represents Aston Martin's interpretation of the grand touring convertible, blending timeless British design with the effortless performance of a naturally aspirated V12. Introduced for the 2005 model year, the DB9 quickly became one of the brand's most recognizable modern classics, offering handcrafted luxury and exhilarating open-top motoring in equal measure. Showing approximately 16,104 miles, this 2008 example is finished in elegant Jet Black over a Kestrel Tan leather interior with a Black convertible soft top. Equipped with desirable factory options including the Bright Mesh Grille and Red Brake Calipers, it also rides on aftermarket wheels that give the car a more contemporary appearance while preserving its unmistakable Aston Martin character.
If you want a three-row luxury SUV that still feels genuinely Audi from the driver’s seat, this 2018 Audi Q7 3.0T Prestige is the one to consider. With approximately 90,371 miles, it pairs the brand’s muscular supercharged V6 with quattro all-wheel drive, a sharp eight-speed Tiptronic automatic, and a seriously impressive list of desirable equipment. Finished in Graphite Gray Metallic over Black leather, this Q7 brings together performance, practicality, and the sort of discreet, high-spec presence that makes it just as appealing on a winding road as it is on a family road trip.
