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.
The 2010 BMW M5 is one of those cars that feels almost impossible by modern standards: a full-size four-door luxury sedan powered by a naturally aspirated V10 and sending its power to the rear wheels through a 7-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox. Showing approximately 115,170 miles, this Black Sapphire Metallic example captures everything that made the E60 M5 such an enthusiast icon. It combines genuine super-sedan performance with the comfort of Black Perforated Full Merino Leather, ventilated multi-contour front seats, soft-close doors, Head-Up Display, Comfort Access, and premium audio. Add the unmistakable 19-inch Style 166M wheels and you have a car that can blend quietly into executive traffic one moment and deliver the kind of high-revving V10 drama that few sedans before or since have ever matched.
The 2015 BMW i8 was one of the most futuristic performance cars of its era, combining exotic styling, carbon-intensive construction, and plug-in hybrid technology in a package that still looks remarkably modern today. Showing 28,371 miles, this example is finished in Sophisto Grey Metallic with Frozen Grey accents beneath a 3M white vinyl wrap with gold flake, paired with a Pure Impulse Carum Spice Grey full perforated leather interior. Its specification is especially notable for the Pure Impulse World Package, which adds distinctive interior and exterior details that give the car a more exclusive presentation. With its turbocharged three-cylinder engine, front electric motor, lithium-ion battery pack, and all-wheel-drive layout, this i8 remains a fascinating blend of sports-car design, advanced materials, and forward-thinking electrification.
The 1973 BMW 3.0 CS is one of the defining grand tourers of BMW’s classic era, combining elegant E9 coupe styling with the smooth power delivery of the company’s 3.0-liter inline-six. Showing approximately 36,319 miles, this example is finished in Polaris Silver Metallic over a Marine Blue interior and pairs its period luxury character with a 4-speed manual transmission for a more engaging driving experience. Highlights include wood interior trim, air conditioning, power windows, four-wheel disc brakes, and BMW multi-spoke alloy wheels, giving this 3.0 CS a strong balance of refinement, usability, and classic touring appeal.
This 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante represents the elegant grand-touring side of Aston Martin at its best, combining a naturally aspirated V12 with a rare 6-speed manual transmission and open-top bodywork. Showing approximately 4,320 miles, this one-owner example is finished in Meteorite Silver Metallic over a Forest Green interior with a Black convertible soft top. Mahogany wood veneer trim, satellite navigation, a Linn audio system, and 19-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels round out a specification that blends traditional British luxury with a notably engaging drivetrain.
Few SUVs blend unmistakable presence, serious performance, and luxury quite like the Mercedes-AMG G 63, and this 2024 example takes that formula even further with an especially aggressive factory specification. Showing approximately 10,363 miles, it is finished in MANUFAKTUR Night Black Magno over Classic Red/Black Exclusive Nappa leather, creating a dramatic contrast inside and out. Its equipment list is equally notable, including the AMG Performance Package, Exclusive Interior Package Plus, Night Package Magno, AMG Carbon Fiber Trim, MANUFAKTUR Logo Package, and 22-inch AMG matte black cross-spoke forged wheels. This is a G 63 configured to emphasize both AMG performance character and the highly distinctive design details that make the model so desirable.
Factory ordering a modern Mercedes-Benz offers the opportunity to move beyond the typical dealer-stock configuration, and this 2026 Mercedes-Benz E 450 4MATIC Sedan is a particularly well-curated example. Showing approximately 4,880 miles, it was custom factory ordered rather than selected from existing dealer inventory, with its specification centered around an elegant Verde Silver Metallic and Macchiato Beige/Black combination. Its extensive equipment list brings together Pinnacle Trim, the MBUX Superscreen, DIGITAL LIGHT, Multicontour Seating, Warmth & Comfort, Sun Protection and Winter packages, along with individually selected features such as soft-close doors, heated rear seats, rear side airbags and ENERGIZING AIR CONTROL. The result is an E-Class configured with a strong emphasis on luxury, passenger comfort and technology while retaining the understated character expected of Mercedes-Benz's executive sedan.
