BMW 840 '1998

This BMW 840 was first registered on January 29, 1998, and is part of the iconic 8 Series, known for its luxury and sporty refinement. This example features the reliable 4.4-litre V8, which is lighter, more efficient, and easier to maintain than the heavier V12 version – without compromising driving pleasure or comfort. A great balance between performance and usability.
