Dear all, its been quiet on this forum for a while, so i'm going to depress thing a little more by saying goodbye. I have sold my 840Csi due to peer pressure, from my wife, kids, brothers and colleagues. sniff sniff. The car has been an absolute joy and is going to a good home in Dublin next week, where it will be appreciated I have no doubt, and I will miss very much. However all is not lost as I've bought an Estate car with more grunt - a 540 touring, Y reg 40k miles, so straight line fun and Saxo bashing will continue. Family pleased as I can go to Ikea and bring stuff back, friends pleased as I can get more than 1 golf bag in the car and colleagues pleased as I can carry IT kit about!!! Will miss my 840 as it has been fantastic and totally reliable in the 4 months 5k time I have had it. May be when I'm older and richer I will return.
Best Regards

Sorry to hear that Henners, wish you all the best in the 540 Touring. Does having kids increase the pressure to sell your 840? If so, I am definitely not having any kids....I know where my priorities lie! Cheers Ian |

Hi Henners You're saying goodbye to your 840 (hard to do I'd say), I'm only getting to know mine. Bought it in August, a '95 840Ci, Boston Green with Alpina Alloys, 70k. I didn't know when I bought it whether I'd be keeping it long or not, but now I can't see me selling it for a very long time if ever. It's fantastic. I haven't seen any action seen on this forum before. As your car has gone to Dublin, which is where I am, you might tell the new owner how to get in touch if he or she would like to. What colour is it & I'll keep an eye out. Good luck with the 540 and keep looking in. ------------- '95 E31 840Ci |

Hi Gr-8, its Atlantis Blue and has only done 29,300 miles so is quite young really. Yes I have really enjoyed it but the head finally ruled the heart, more or less, Ive still bought the 540, which is half a second quicker to 60 than the 8. But it doesn't corner as well and I wont have lots of admiring glances anymore. Regards ------------- Best Regards Henners |

What year is the 840? The number plates here are pre-fixed with the year. ------------- '95 E31 840Ci |

Well I've 4 or them (kids) so no is the answer. You just have to make sure your wife has the sensible 7 Seater. ------------- '95 E31 840Ci |
