840 csi

[Jason S]

hi

Has any one owned an 8 series BM or thoughts on one. Had a 5 series V8 which was a nice contrast to the Alfa 156 I had at the time.

Love the clio but miss the fun/comfort factor of a large RWD, especially in the wet.

These are quite cheap and no longer dropping in value, so could be a bit of alternative fun with little depreciation. I do 7-8k a year so dont care much for fuel/running cost!

very nearly bought a 840ci a couple of years ago, cracking car to drive. 15 years old and everything worked without issue.

would of done if the owner didnt completely lie about the car. Said it was the 4.4... wasnt. said it had 4 owners... it had 9. said it had done 120k... it had done 170k.

(which 156 did you have?)

I had 156 selespeed.

There is one in bucks about 20 miles but its a trader.. I would prefer to find a privately owner one and yeah the later 4.4 models are quite desirable.

80-90k model would be nice.

Spare panels / lights are very expensive if you bend it.
