Personally I would resize those original wheels. Keep it looking OEM+. Those who know will realise what you’ve done. It will look amazing when aired out.
The rear seats are US spec but set as default for all markets where dimensions are meant to fit average child up to 14years of age or 160cm max height....The ideal when restoring it today is rear seats delete where cleared bottom room accomodates LPG tanks (these engines have no problem running on propane if additional Flashlube system is included) and upper half of the shelf bears fitting luggages. Also handy to add one-touch folding of all windows under one remote button for easy access to the back.
Interesting! I've been trying to restore one of these for a few years now. Mine is the 840Ci Sport individual, Barbados Green with the same champagne leather as yours. If yours is an individual it would definitely have had blue piping on the seats. Looks like you've picked up a beautiful car, definitely not a common colour. These cars do rust very seriously, so good to hear that yours has hopefully been repaired properly.
Looking good I also have the 840ci sport Barbados green individual I purchased completely original and standard with mega history 2 owners from new it had a little lacquer peel and decided to overhaul the full car full new interior retrim and respray the wheels are needing polished up and it’s ready to go may see you at ultimate dubs 👍😂
Great buy Raj !!!👌👌👌👌 Can’t wait to see the finished project by March 2023 I would keep the OEM wheels and put them to one side , for the next owner I would put a set of polished 18 or 19 Alpina alloys on the car Colour combo is awesome 💋💋💋 The 8 series was 10/15 years head of its time , You purchased a late reg car also , best one to buy , less problems and gremlins in it !!
The E31 is just a gorgeous car, I've had mine for almost ten years now. I'm very interested to see your improvements to the car, especially the air suspension. Do you offer a suspension kit for the E31, or you're making a custom one?
Check out Clarion USA, they executed a series of mods to an 850i, and I think you need to better their hifi installation. Wheels should be 18 inch, it will ride too harsh on 19" rims. BBS RS or Alpina's. Maybe a carefully selected HRE Performance set. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this nice example 840Ci
@@CarAudioSecurityUK The E31 is the car I most desire but live in London an in my head the cost of driving in London is ridiculous at this time. My 440, F32 is a really nice car but those pop up headlamps an that shape is the best with a big V8. 👍🏾
Raj I beg you don’t put new wheels on it. Resize the RC’s or throwing stars etc see CR custom wheels, I would personally put wide ass split bottle tops on it ❤

That’s what we are thinking

The Alpina, OEM plus look would suit it well

Thanks for watching and your comments. Our one is definitely an individual and has been well cared for by the previous owners 👍🏽
19" for sure. Nothing smaller. That's a big body car.
Stock wheels Raj. Step up to 19" New Barrels and Lips from Voodoo Motorsport 😊
Awesome review.
Alpina wheels all the way!…. From the B12
Looks awesome
I would just step up the stock wheels👌 Those are beautiful wheels🔥
Yes please 👍
The 840 is the goat of 90'
Very nice clean car 👌

We will make a custom kit for our E31 however will utilise Airlift management 👍🏽
Great choice of car for sure and personally brand new wheels are needed ideally 19”
Great looking car Raj! I’m in the process of debating to change the color on my black&black 93’ 850ci. What’s the color again ?
Aegean blue metallic 👊🏼
My dream car, stunning!
Racing dynamics would look very period correct
Air ride definitely I’ve got a m6 gran coupe I’m considering air ride for it
Beautiful car 👍👍
Thank you 👊🏼

Alpina 20 spoke alloys 2pc design
roller skate look
20’s may be a bit too big 🤷🏻♂️
@@CarAudioSecurityUK 20 spoke, not 20"

Leave this car stock appearing...dont juke box it out!
Different look! Let’s see some sexy ass wheels on this sexy ass car bro 😜
Why, mod it, wheels look fantastic, put back the original stereo and leave the suspension 🤷🏼♂️🤦♂️👍🏻
That defeats the whole concept behind the Slam Sanctuary projects 🤔
