About this car

The E31 840Ci was BMW's V8 grand tourer, sitting below the 850 V12 models. This 1998 car has the later M62 4.4-litre V8, which the dealer says makes the same 286 bhp as the earlier M60 unit while using less fuel. It is paired with a five-speed automatic gearbox.

It is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over black leather. Listed equipment includes heated and electric seats, two-zone climate control, a sunroof, ASC traction control and CSI-style mirrors. The dealer puts M62 840Ci production at around 3,000 cars.

The odometer reads 98,000 miles and the car is UK-registered. The page gives no owner count or service history detail. Its registration appears as R788CCX in the header and R778CCX in the body text, so check this against the documents.
