Condition
6
The car is described as being in good mechanical condition with over £7,000 of maintenance since 2018. However, there are age-related imperfections such as small patches of rust, rear-window edge delamination, bonnet fade, hazing on the driver’s A-pillar, and various marks, chips, and scratches around the body. The interior is described as good. This indicates moderate wear and the need for some reconditioning.

Description
First registered on 25th October 1996, this BMW 840Ci Auto is finished in what is believed to be Calypso Red Metallic and is powered by the 4.4‑litre V8 M62 engine, showing approximately 108,000 miles.
It is accompanied by a substantial history file, and the cherished registration B4 ONH will remain with the car.
The current owner purchased the vehicle last year but has had little opportunity to enjoy it, and is now looking for it to pass to a new enthusiast.
The car is described as being in good mechanical condition, supported by over £7,000 of maintenance expenditure by previous owners since 2018.
Recent work has been extensive and includes a re‑trimmed headlining, a brake fluid change, a gearbox service, welding to the rear inner and outer sills, and a full cooling‑system overhaul comprising a new radiator, expansion tank, various hoses, and fresh coolant.
The sunroof seal has also been replaced and rust‑treated, and the wheel arches present well.
