Again sir, amazing car and thank you for contacting me. Best of luck in passing this car on to a worthy buyer!

[xeler8]

Yeah, I remember reading about this car in the SoCal8s news letter and then seeing it at Bimmerfest a couple of years ago. Amazing car.

[AlexSN]

Saw this gorgeous car at Woodley Park and all I could think was how much time and effort went into it.

The car I should have/wish I bought! Really good price imo. Good luck with the sale!

Thanks for the support. While I love everything about this fine specimen, I was beginning to think I was too emotional about it. But then again, isn't that the passion we all possess for the 8 series, our own specifically. I think the price is fair as well. It's gonna cost a lot of time and money to get any 8 to this point. This way it's all at once and you are there. Instant rock star!

According to e31.net. 329 - LHD 840i Manuals, 93 - LHD 840Ci Manuals, 0 - 840 Manuals ever produced for USA.

Yup that's right, ZERO 840Ci manual cars for USA.... and probably only about 5 or 6 'home-made' 6spd 840Ci conversions are here... Not all of them done to this level of perfection however.

[IJustDrive]

This too may be slightly out of reach. Price adjusted.....

[IJustDrive]

Black Friday, bump.. 27,500

[IJustDrive]

Still Available......

Potential buyer in Dubai? Are they out there or probably a scam? Contacted through Autotrader msg, but wants to go to direct email?

I wouldn't completely discount the offer, but just respectively tell him you would like to continue the conversation on the Auto trader system.

Responded via Autotrader, no further conversation. Sounds like my suspicions confirmed!

Only a few shopping days left before Christmas!

[JRZ]

Tempted to get into deeper debt on this lol. Maybe in a few months, I might be in a better position. Semi good luck with the sale .

[IJustDrive]

Don't wait too long. Going up on BaT in January. Looks like you have a nice collection started.

Holding off on BaT till Spring

[xeler8]

Still think this is one of the best E31s I have seen. I remember drooling over it in the SoCal 8s newsletter. Great car!

As of Wrenchfest the Saturday before the Super Bowl it was still VERY "drool" worthy!

[IJustDrive]

Anyone see a resemblance? Come out and see the "real 8 series" at Bimmerfest June 3. Or Huntington Beach Concours d'Elegance June 4.
