RARE TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION, IN THIS SOUGHT AFTER COLOUR COMBINATION.
IF YOU LOVE YOUR BMW E31 - THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU.
For sale is this Genuine Australian Delivered BMW 840ci - Individual M-Sport Technik.
OrientBlau Metallic.
Sold new by Parramatta BMW in JULY 2000, when it was first registered by the first owner.
Arguably one of the cleanest and authentic 8's in Australia, currently for sale.
This car is one of the last, if not the last Australian delivered 8 series sold new off the showroom floor in Australia.
Built with the upgraded and highly desirable 4.4 litre V8 engine.
Steptronic gearbox with Sport gearing and manual gear selection.
Immaculate condition.
Averaging less than 4500km a year from new.
This was the flagship BMW of one of their most famous eras of design and engineering.
I've owned this car since 2013 and this 840ci is much loved and cared for, being kept garaged, under a car cover and on a c-tech charger. Driven only on weekends or special occasions.
This is a BMW Individual M-Sport Technik car.
Equipped with many sought after factory features that other 8 series just don't have.
- Factory CSi M Sport aerodynamics package, bodykit and M sport mirrors
- Factory CSi M Sport interior doorcards & steering wheel.
- Factory Original CSi M-Sport "throwing star" 17" alloys included. (unused for many years, suggest refurbishment if prefer over Alpina wheels)
- Factory BMW Nürburgring Sport Suspension system as standard fitment.
- Nappa Leather throughout
-------------------------------------------
What makes this one of the best BMW 840s is the following extra features and maintenance upgrades :
- Genuine OEM Factory 18" Alpina alloy wheels specific to E31
- Michelin Super Sport Tyres 295/35 rear -255/35 front
- BMW CSi front sway bar 27mm upgrade and bushes.
- BMW CSi rear sway bar 17mm upgrade and bushes.

- 3.62 ratio (perfect ratio, amazing responsiveness) installed by Bavarian Motors, Sydney.
- Supersprint X-pipe and rear exhausts. Italy manufactured in full Stainless Steel. Gives it a lovely burble that is is not obnoxious.
- Upgraded BMW Business in dash CD player (period correct)
-------------------------------------------
Recent maintenance :
- New front suspension control arms in mid 2025. The rest of the suspension is original from new. (The last Suspension specialist inspection passed dampers, springs and bushes in 2025.)
- New OEM pop up light pods (I have the original pods as spares) (Fitted by Bavarian Motors)
- New OEM front bar light clusters (fitted by Rushcutters Bay BMW restoration specialists)
- Refurbished electric tilt / slide sunroof using OEM parts (refurbishment done by Rushcutters BMW restoration specialists at a cost +$3000)
- New Bonnet and Boot Struts.
- Engine Top end service - cam covers, valley cover and intake manifold gaskets + injector seals.
- New Engine mounts.
- New Transmission mount.
- All coolant hoses renewed.
-------------------------------------------
- 2 stage paint correction and Kamikaze Ceramic coating.( By Reflective Detailing, Sydney)
- 2 near new Varta batteries. OEM fitment.
Always maintained and serviced on time with no expense spared in keeping this a car to be very proud of.
I have a folder of receipts on maintenance works done over my ownership.
Happy to discuss the car with genuine enthusiasts of the Great 8.
