I am looking to purchase an 840ci and had a few questions I wanted to post to this forum.
1. What are the differences between the 4.0 liter V8 & 4.4 liter V8 engines in regards to Horse Power & Torque, if any?
2. What year did BMW have the 4.4-liter V8 engine offered?
3. What year did BMW have the side turn signal lights (that are mounted just behind the front wheels on the quarter panel, in the black strip) was it 96? 97?
4. Was the standard manual transmission ever a big hit with the 840ci? I ask since a lot of used 840ci’s have automatic (cringe) transmission. Was the manual never an option or just for the 850Csi?
5. Did BMW ever produce a silver 840Ci with a black or red interior? The silver 840ci I have seen have a gray interior. Just wondering.
6. Also, if the 840ci is not a pre-certified BMW what options, if any, does one have to purchase an extended warranty package?
7. If the V8 is a Nikasil engine, and the car is past its 6 years or 100,000 miles warranty, should that be a "price" point? Meaning, talking to the seller about the price to replace the egnine and subtracting it from the selling price. (refernced www.koalamotorsport.com/v8shortblock.htm)
Thank you again and take care…John
P.s. I wanted to indicate that this is a great forum…I have been reading the messages on here and in the past history. Good information!
