Greeting Fellow Bimmerforum'ers.
This is Alec Cartio, BMW 8-Series specialist once again with another pristine example of a 97-840Ci my E31 team and I found, rescued and brought to the progressive E31 buyer's market. About a year ago, this car was in a fund raising auction and in need of a new good home. My collaborator and I bought it for a good "double cause" charity for kids and rescue of an 8-series, brought home and began to work on it to bring it back to its glory days. A year later, here we are and the car you see in front of you is a labor of love.
This beautiful 1997 BMW 840Ci was a One-owner vehicle before we bought it. In 1997, an engineer from North Carolina leased the vehicle as new and later purchased it from BMW Financing, as "second owner" on Carfax (the first and second owner are the same person) and we are technically the second owners, but stated as third owners on Carfax. The first owner brought the vehicle from NC to California when he moved. After having owned the car for 22 years and driven it for 170.000 fun miles, he donated the vehicle to a charity in Southern California. That's where we came into the picture. We had the car semi-restored and did the following:
New and fresh full repaint in Original Black II code from factory.
All dings and small dents removed
New car door handles
New suspension
New control arms and links
New valve cover gaskets, hoses and belts
Refreshed seats
refreshed shift knob
Refreshed interior bits
New tires
Added CSi M-Tech body kit, front and rear
New water pump
New sway bar links
Here's a film about the car.

More photos and records can be sent by request.
Currently showing 174800 miles, the car feels as new and fresh as the first day it came out of factory.
The 1996 and 1997 US-Spec 840Ci's are the best and most desirable in the range due to better engines, torque, rear differentials and transmissions. These trims were made in the low numbers of 769 total. They also have an upgraded Wood Interior vs plastic in the previous years.
