Driving A Traded-In BMW 8 Series Made Me Realize How Underrated BMW’s 1990s Flagship Truly Is: Trade-In-Tuesday

Bmw Trade In Ts Thumb

Welcome to Trade-In Tuesday, a regular feature in which I drive a vehicle that has been traded in to Galpin, The Autopian’s sister-company run by cofounder Beau Boeckmann. Today’s trade-in is a 1997 BMW 840CI, a V8-powered, popup headlight-having, B-pillarless swaggermobile that stood at the pinnacle of BMW’s lineup in the 1990s, and was even owned by Michael Jordan. But unlike everything else that His Airness touched, the 8 Series hasn’t really realized true glory, and today it’s largely forgotten by the American public. But, as I learned when I drove the trade-in, the 8 Series deserves so, so, so much better, for it is truly a glorious machine.

Every day I get a list of vehicles recently traded in to Galpin’s many dealerships, and every day, I look attentively for something interesting that I can drive. But what makes a car interesting? Well, that’s a complex formula. Last week’s Dodge Nitro was interesting because it was so “out there” design-wise, it was a fascinating vehicle during a rough time in Chrysler’s history, and it was in such rough shape (a catalytic converter had been hacked out and the interior was gross). This week’s car, a BMW 840i is also interesting, but for totally different reasons. The design wasn’t “out there,” it was streamlined and elegant; the car came out during a glory era in BMW’s history; and, for the most part, this trade-in was in great shape.

More than anything, what makes the BMW 8 Series so interesting is the combination of style, performance, and mystique. It’s a ridiculously badass car on the outside, it’s got ridiculously badass engines under the hood, and yet it’s a machine not nearly enough folks give a damn about. And that’s a real shame.

Here’s a look at my review of the traded-in 1997 BMW 840CI:

Look at BMW 8 Series for sale today, and the prices are all over the place, with mileage, provenance, and engine/transmission options being major deciding factors. But the truth is: If you want to get into an 8 Series, you can score a decent one for about $25,000, and that’s incredible given that the V8-powered 840Ci that I test drove stickered for about $76,000 in 1997; that’s almost $150,000 in today’s money!

I can’t tell you exactly why the 8 Series doesn’t get enough love these days (I’m sure the fact that its performance pales in comparison to modern cars is part of it), but what I do know is that the car did come out with a bang, as Motor Trend writes here:

1990 BMW 850i: An Instant Hit

Immediately, buyers went buck wild. According to some reports, 5,000 orders were plunked down just eight days into the show; by the following summer, the nearly 12,000-unit annual production run was sold out through 1993. Some rabid Bimmer superfans were so smitten they were more than willing to pay well over the asking price—a common practice nowadays for supercars like Ferraris and GT-division Porsches, but almost unheard of at that time.

At launch, the 850i was available only with a 5.0-liter V-12. The 850i was only the second BMW to pack twelve cylinders, after the 1987-1994 E32 750i. The M70 V-12 was a contemporary powerhouse, offering 296 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque through either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Performance was impressive, with 0-60 mph arriving somewhere in the low six-second range and a top speed of 155 mph.

Visually, the E31 was (and still is) spectacular. Designer Klaus Kapitza aimed for the lowest drag coefficient the design and engineering team could muster, eventually cutting a low, lithe silhouette that sliced the air at needle-sharp 0.29 coefficient of drag.

Per Motor Trend, BMW threw tons of cash into the E31 8 Series program after the Bavarian automaker saw so much success from its 6 Series coupe:

The first-generation 6 Series (E24), from 1976 through 1989 in particular, was a sales darling, racking up over 86,000 units by the end of its 13-year production run.

With dollar signs in its eyes and the precedent set for a successful big-money, hi-tech BMW coupe, BMW fixed its sights on Aston Martin’s and Mercedes-Benz’s top-dollar grand tourers with the initial design and conceptual development of the range-topping BMW 8 Series in 1981. In 1986, engineering and pre-production testing kicked off, and after burning through the equivalent of $900 million in developmental costs, the E31 BMW 8 Series made its full production debut at the 1989 Frankfurt auto show as the BMW 850i.

Oh, and yes, you read that first quote right: You could get an 8 Series with a V12 and a six-speed manual transmission — the first-ever pairing of a V12 and a six-speed stick. In 1992, the 850CSi joined the 850i, and swapped the 5.0-liter V12 for a 5.6-liter that cranked out 375 horsepower – up 99 over the 5.0. The 850i later became the 850Ci and got a 5.4-liter V12 making 332 horsepower. Plus, there were V8s starting in 1992, with a 4.0-liter making 282 horsepower; this was replaced in 1995 with a 4.4 making the same horsepower but 15 more lb-ft of torque.

ADVERTISEMENT

It was the 4.4-liter V8 that was in the 1997 840Ci that I drove at Porsche Santa Clarita, and its exhaust made a mean burble. Mated to a five-speed automatic, it wasn’t quite as engaging to drive as a stickshift might have been, but the auto just works with this car. It’s a cruiser; the ride quality is exceptional, and while it can handle well enough, it’s not a nimble little sports car. The 8 Series is large, it’s heavy (over 4,100 pounds for my V8 model), but it’s got presence for days.

416161970 2022141388169350 7791042192035614013 N

There are few things cooler than a car without a B-pillar. Add the awesome popup headlights and the gorgeous overall shape, and the E31 8 Series remains a style icon — a tough looking machine that exudes both confidence and power without being over the top:

415994422 1704566623403497 150899003977294367 N

The interior, with its nice leather seats and clean three-spoke steering wheel, is surprisingly stylish for a 1990s car, and really holds up to this day:

OK, well, mostly “holds up.” The trade-in’s sunroof switch cover fell down, and one of Porsche Santa Clarita’s managers wasn’t thrilled that I didn’t mention it when I returned the car (I thought it was a well-known issue!):

Screen Shot 2024 01 23 At 12.09.29 Pm

But the rest of the interior was great. Check out the big ski bag protruding from the center of the rear seat:

Behold the ridiculously dainty cupholders in the glovebox!:

How about those satisfying dials for controlling the blower and the temperature of the dual zone climate control (Why someone had installed the radio upside down is beyond me):

Screen Shot 2024 01 23 At 12.11.41 Pm

Driving the 8 Series makes you feel special. It’s quick, sure (zero to 60 in probably the mid 6’s), and it rides well, and its steering and brakes are lovely enough. But the 8 Series is special because of the way it makes you feel; it’s exceedingly badass, but in a classy way. It’s got the 90s wedge profile that you dreamed of when you were a kid, combined with a beautiful sounding engine, a big long hood to look over, a comfortable seat and suspension, and a side profile that is to die for.

ADVERTISEMENT

Screen Shot 2024 01 23 At 12.14.55 Pm

Though I have no doubt trying to maintain a 1990s German car filled with then-state-of-the-art electronics would be borderline masochism, I’d still buy an 8 Series if I could score one for close to $10 grand. It’s that special, but in a very qualitative way that I’m not sure I’m doing a great job of explaining. Just get behind the wheel of one and you’ll understand.

Many moons ago someone traded in a V12 850 to my in-laws’ lot and naturally, I just wanted to say I’d driven a V12. This was nearly a decade ago and I was still in my automotive infancy. In any case, I hopped in and said “schnell” and holy shit did she schnell! There was a perceptible moment where you just felt the car accepting the orders from your right foot, then it just got gone. Reasonably intoxicating stuff if you’re into big engines. Personally, I think the optimum number of cylinders is 4, so it’s not my thing, but it was a fun experience.

I had a friend who bought one of these new. Probably the same year and spec as this one. In his first year of ownership the headliner suddenly dropped on him as he was driving on the highway. A while later the passenger window fell off it’s tracks. He said the dealer blamed the headliner on parking in the sun. His car was silver, so he asked how the black ones were holding up.

He would constantly say he wished he had not spent BMW money for Chevy Cavalier quality.

I had an artists rendition of the 8 series from Motor Trend on my wall in the late 80s. 12 year old me wanted one so bad, and I’d still take one, but I think I’d rather have the E24 M6 that the 8 series replaced.

That mystery tool you found in the toolkit looked like the spark plug removal tool, there was a bar about the same length you would fit in one of the holes on the non-wrench side you could use to add torque to the wrench to get the plugs in/out.

I mean these are pretty much universally considered to be classics for a reason. The styling is pretty much perfect, they exude class and swagger simultaneously, they have excellent engines (I mean imagine having a V8 as a “base” engine with a V12 as the upgrade in this day and age!), they’re comfortable, and they perform pretty well even by today’s standards.

Slash the idea of an underpowered (by modern standards) V8+ is ridiculously appealing to me in this day and age. You can wind them out and hear the song of their people without ending up in jail. I mean let’s be real here…would you really trust yourself with something like a Hellcat?

If you can handle that type of performance responsibly then more power to you (pun intended), but I’m a fucking idiot and my monkey brain would take over. Hell I’ve gotten myself into some hairy situations with the 286 horsepower in my Kona N. I don’t need 500+.

So basically stuff like the 8 series is amazing and perfect…until you realize what it costs to keep one running. I’ve poked around on 8 series forums before and the things are as bad as you might imagine. I really liked the quote on RCR yesterday that you don’t buy a used Ferrari unless you can afford 3 times the purchase price, because that’s what you’ll be paying in upkeep.

The situation isn’t much different with a V12 German car that was a flagship in its heyday (yes I know there’s an V8 but the way to have one of these is with the 12 cause MOAR CYLINDERS, duh). So alas, this is forbidden fruit to me. A siren song, if you will. But I remain vigilantly on the lookout for some sort of depreciated exotic adjacent car that won’t bankrupt me.

And you know what I’m left with? The LC500. Duh. And there are already some out there in the 50s and 60s. But don’t tell anyone I said that. Please.

I don’t know, I feel like a lot of BMW upkeep myths are due to idiots not taking care of their car, being unable to research anything themselves, and being afraid to touch tools. If you have to take an old car to a shop for every little thing, it’s going to be expensive. And german cars just need more attention than japanese stuff, but it’s rarely critical. I’d buy one, I’d just want more than one car so if the E31 is down I can drive a Honda or something.

I also have a Kona N! But I find I get into more trouble with the Kona than my hopped-up Mustang because the Mustang has too much power to responsibly use in most conditions, but the Kona N feels like it can be driven 10/10ths all the time.

E31s have always been desirable, the issue is they really weren’t designed for our wimpy American speed limits. This car is DESIGNED to drive triple digits for hours at a time. Highly suggest anyone interested in these checks out e31.net, click english then explore the site. Has videos from before youtube, showing this car in it’s element: As a land-based cruise missile.

That’s what most of these flagship German coupes are designed for. All the crazy AMGs are the same way. You can sit at 120+ for hours on end in quiet comfort. It’s cool as hell. Much like Sammy Hagar, I can’t drive 55…and I would want to experience one of these glorious chariots as god intended.

Not just the coupes. My 97 540i6 woke up at 140 km/h. It seemed to hunker down and get tighter and more precise.

But it always made me pay in pain with weird stuff breaking at weird times or all at once (eg, 3 of 4 window regulators broke within a week).

The perfect 8 series to me would be the 840, but with a stick. That’s a fine engine when right (PFFT!), and the six speed would make it more engaging.

I LOVE the look of those cars. Too bad the M62 4.4L is such a disaster. But that was peak BMW. The 8 series and the e39. My e39 540i is such a good looking car. Parked in my driveway. Broken.

As much as the V8 is tempting, I think you really want the I6 in an e39. It is slower, but BMW has the I6 down pat, their V8’s always seemed like they were playing and not serious at making them last a long time. I miss my e39 528i – it was a great drivers car.

As a former owner of an E60 with the craptastic N62, I agree about BMW V8s. It was hands-down the WORST car I’d ever owned. I did all my own work and it bent me over the handrail on many occasions. To be fair, they’re actually pretty easy to work on, but the number of times you have to do it, the time spent diagnosing weird issues, the time spent not being able to drive it, the time spent sourcing parts and then the cost of those parts was just way too much.

I’ll just leave the one ugly one here: alternator bracket oil gasket. Alternator was mounted to the side of the engine. On the 7-series, they had an oil cooler that the 5 series did not. The alternator plate blocked off the oil passages and had a buna-n gasket to seal it. It was notorious for leaking and making a huge mess. Getting to the thing was murder. I undertook that job on my own and it was misery. No maintenance to keep that one from happening.

THey’re also well-known for failed valve stem seals and a smoke show to prove it. That job I refused to undertake. One wrong move and you drop a valve into a cylinder. NOPE. Sold it down the line after many many repairs and countless hours spent fixing.

It is one of the few cars that I am so happy that I’ll never see again.

That bit about the oil cooler explains why I had to swap out my alternator bracket when I had to put a new engine in my e38.

While I loved cruising in my e38, I decided after owning it that I would stick to 6 cylinder BMWs from then on.

Are you a BMW person now? You just said you would spend actual money on a E31. Which means you at least somewhat are considering it. Only a BMW person would look at all the horror stories of E31 ownership, and go “You know, doesn’t sound that bad.” Where is Bob? Maybe he can talk you out of pending reckless endeavor. Sisyphus would look at one of these and say “Can’t do it, too much work. I value my time.” Or get a one way ticket to VIP Anti-BMW BMW Club.

Many years ago it seemed like you couldn’t give away an 840Ci. Back when I was a teenager, a local buy-here-pay-here lot had one for $999. Now, that was just a down payment for future misery, but I bet you couldn’t find one of these in running shape for the same price today.
