Faults:

Nothing in my short one year of ownership. Previous owner spent a fortune on preventative maintenance however.

General Comments:

840 coupe - classic 1990s BMW at their best!

Blue in color, best in my opinion. This car is stunning at all angles. BMW never made a better looking car in my opinion. Original alloys.

Inside is grey/white leather; very comfortable and taken care of well. This car has barely a mark on it inside or out. Credit to the previous owner who had the car since new in 1999.

I'm not taken with the newer 8 series cars looks at all. BMW lost their way. They need to look back at the 1990s classics and understand why people loved them back then.

The car is incredible to drive. I find the V8 in the 840 has plenty power and saw no need to get the 850. I'm sure the V12 is wonderful, but this car moves fast enough even with the automatic box. 18 - 20 mpg so far. But if you worry about fuel consumption, this isn't the car for you!

A fine car to own as an interesting second car for summer fun. Very expensive if things go wrong. Do your research and only buy a nice example.
