Summary
This 1997 BMW 840Ci, showing 122k miles, features a 4.4-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Notable modifications include 17″ Alpina-style wheels, a Supersprint exhaust, CSi-style spoilers, a carbon-composite hood, Bilstein shocks, and Eibach springs. The car has a clean California title, though the trunk lid was repainted and there is wear on the driver's seat bolster.
