    8 series which is better 840 or 850..... for reliability

    Looking for an e31 in socal. V12/V8, as long as it has been properly maintained. Not looking for a mechanics special, or a top end garage queen to win euro car shows. I'm just someone that became an overnight fan.

    This is a huge discussion, which has been covered many times in the last 15-20 years. You should post this in the general E31 threads, not here. You will get a lot more responses there. You can also use the search engine to bring up old posts on this subject.

    Hi JSannnn,

    I have my '96 for sale (see add on this forum). I have maintained it for the past 10 years I've owned it and have the receipts from the previous owner. It is in a BMW service shop right now to make sure all is sorted before it sells. I'm not in SoCal, but I'm from there! I purchased this car from San Jose and had it shipped to me in the Seattle area. This e31 is in great driver condition and I'd like to see it go to someone that would love it as much as I do.

    Regards,
    Sean

    Thanks. Got it back from the shop with no issues. New tires and alignment next, then tackle that pesky drooping headliner!

    I have a 1997 850CI. Bought 12/2012 with 72,00 miles. Currently at roughly 110,00 miles. Well maintained. Just put 2 new batteries in. Headliner new. Cluster ribbon fixed. Just changed color from silver to BMW Red. I have maintained the vehicle with local high end shop. Currently sits in garage under car cover as I just don't have the time to drive it. Comes with 2 sets of rims. If you send me your cell or email I can shoot you some pics. Located in Charleston SC.

    Everybody's got such nice and gorgeous cars. I think I've settled for a red exterior.

    If anyone has one, you know where to find me.

    Ahhh, where else would the OP post a "wanted" post other than in the "wanted" section. This might be a hugh issue because many folks want them. If he used the search engine, as you suggest, he might find a car that had been sold in 2007. OP, hope you find a great car.
    Lets get the party started before it's my bedtime.

    Not looking for a mechanics special and only got $6.5k to spend.... good luck! Your gonna need to put up closer to $10k for something in the shape your looking for, but it will still most likely need a few things.

    Happy Thanksgiving y'all! I'm still on that search for one of my favorite cars to restore and bring back to glory.

    I'll be putting mine up for sale in the coming months, which won't need too much done to it. But there's always plenty to keep you busy! It's an Oxford Green (I) 1995 840ci (dual row timing chain 4.0L M60 motor) with just over 76k miles. Doing tons of stuff on it right now. But it's going to be put up for sale around $18,500. Most major stuff has been taken care of. I'm selling off my entire collection and this is the last car left. I'm down in Tucson BTW.
