Description
Pillarless Perfection: The BMW 840Ci blends V8 Power with timeless GT Luxury.
The 16” Style 8 alloys are in excellent condition with minimal signs of age.
The front and rear of the car are fitted with Toyo Proxes tyres showing a spec of 235/50 and are date coded from 2011 - all have legal tread.
Please take time to review the photos and videos for a detailed view of the exterior, wheels, and tyres so you can make your own assessment of their condition.
Tyres are a key safety item, and you should consider replacing any that are cracked, perished, unevenly worn, or over 10 years old.
The exterior is cleanly presented with no discernible corrosion, aside from a minor bubble on the sunroof.
The door bottoms and wheel arches look good.
The panel fit is flush to the body with visually consistent panel gaps.
All doors open and close with ease, the glass drops function as they should, and the bonnet struts are up to the job.
The car is free of significant dents; we spotted a minor one...
