The new 8-Series is cool and all, but we're still big fans of the original. Introduced in 1990, it was BMW's most ambitious car ever, brimming with tons of developmental milestones and cutting-edge technologies. One example of the iconic Nineties car that has been off the road since 2009 has just come up for sale.
According to the seller, this 1994 840Ci has been stuffed into the back of a shed for the past 13 years, left untouched for dust to accumulate inside and out. From the photos, we can see a thick layer of grossness that needs to be wiped off. The body panels themselves look to be in relatively good shape, though.
The interior is equally as dusty, a result of the owner leaving the window open while the car sat in storage for so long. Everything seems to be complete, without any rare, hard-to-find trim pieces missing. This car seems to be the perfect project for an obsessive BMW nut to us.
The seller says the car is in need of a full restoration, with paint peeling and bubbling in places. The fuel lines also have a leak, as gasoline falls from the car while it's running. We'd like to see an image of that 4.0-liter V-8 under the hood, though considering the rest of the car, we can easily imagine how dusty it must be.
The car is currently up for bidding on eBay in Aberdeen, Scotland with a high bid of £5400 (roughly $6200) and three days remaining to bid. If you're into old 8ers, this could be the perfect chance to kick-start your latest project.
