- Introducing my BMW E31 840Ci Sport to the TH-cam channel - a car that I've owned for a couple of years and have already modified. In this episode I go through some of the features of this 90's BMW Cruiser, talk about the modifications already done and future plans. I also take the E31 to my friend Kos over at Birds BMW for a service and a health check.
Next up I'll be reviewing my 80's BMW Cruiser, the E24 635CSi aka "sharknose".

This bimmer has aged well design wise (slick) unlike the Merc (barge imo). I can't decide which is better looking, this 8 series or the 6 series. Either way they are both gorgeous especially with your tasteful mods.
Thanks, appreciate the feedback. Both great cars and very difficult to choose between them 👍🏽
These will always be stunning looking cars
Nice car. Would've been good to know what the longterm advisories were after Birds service, also cost. Looking forward to future vlogs on this car.
Excellent thumbnail and glad you left the headlights up! Pop-up headlights were the bomb them days!
Totally 👊🏼
There one for sale in Egypt with 12v in dubizzle Egypt around 20,000$ or less
Such a gorgeous car, great job with the build! Do you offer the air suspension kit, or was it just a one of for this build?
I absolutely love this car 🎉🎉🎉
What were the competitors of this car? Mercedes SL R129, Porsche 928 S4/GT and GTS more of a 850 CSI competitor... and then we had Jaguar XJS. They have all aged so well. Well maybe not XJS though... it was always in the shadow of the E-Type. But they made some brilliant cars in the 90's. And they all looked different unlike today's cars which are pretty much sterile and from the same mold.
Raj, you're a man with great taste. The e24 and e31 are my favourite of the classics, and yours are stunning. I have an e39 540i m-tech and love the feel of older BMWs as well. Subscribed!
The Merc promo vid shown was ugly ASF 😔
Poor Man’s Harry’s Garage but Super Impressive 😂👍
Subbed ✅
Raj, that one suits you, man. Love the colour and the wheels!
I am driving a 1990 850i from the first month of production. The car is all original, almost. I changed the Bavaria Business to a Blaupunkt Frankfurt RCM, which looks absolutely awsome in the car. May it's worth a try for you, as well. Car came with the original speakers. I intend to upgrade it to Hifonics speakers using the housings of the original E31 Hifi system of the later years. I am eager to see what you are going to do with your 840. Greetings from Germany.
Lovely car 👍🏻 bought my Quaife lsd off Birds very knowledgeable guys , Cos's 6 series is mint 👌🏻
Stunning example of the E31, congratulations Raj! I'm also original owner of '95 840ci. Can you tell me about the paint color, name and code. Enjoy to it's fullest.
Paint colour is Individual Aegean Blue
Really Nice 840😎 Can't beat a Classic 8 Series Bimmer...Unfortunately the days of getting an 850csi for under £10K are long gone....
The prices I was referring to were for the 840ci 👍🏽
I get that you were talking about the 840👍🏽 I always wanted an 850csi with the V12, But the prices for them have skyrocketed, I missed my opportunity.
Nice clutch of autos, dude! 👏
Just rich bimmer toy. E31 ❤BIMMER❤
Can you tell me the wheels specs
Front I know 9 inch
Rear 11 inch
But need to know how wide the front lips inner and outer
Rear lip size inner and outer thanks
Loving the Renault 5GT Turbo in the background
Raj, you said you was going to add an AMG to your collection? Still waiting to see 🙂
Still on the hunt 👊🏼
The 635 is the second best BMW ever.

Excellent video. Minor correction on the price when new in UK. The 840Ci Sport was £54k. For comparison the other models in the E31 range were-
-850i/Ci £63k
-Alpina B12 5.0 £80k
-850CSi £83k
-Alpina B12 5.7 £110k
Also your E31 is an 840Ci Sport Individual & not a standard 840Ci. This may not be relevant for suspension setup as you now have air-ride installed. But the interior & M-tech exterior kit was installed on the 840Ci Sport only.
Thanks for the info. Really surprised with the costs of some of the other models!
Great video, but the CSI is where it’s at for me 😎
Appreciate the feedback 👍🏼
I can confirm that is the stock colour interior as i have the exact same one, the piping should be the same colour as the car
Thanks for confirming, appreciated 👊🏼
Nice motor.
What's the price
Sorry, this is not for sale
Why does Cos look like John Travolta?
🤣🤣
The best one I've seen! The exact wheels I would want !!!
in my country I have only seen it once in my life. amazing car
840 ci looks stunning now 👌👌👌👌
Great job done by CAS staff 👍👍👍👍
Cozz is a top geezer and has a stunning E24 💥💥💥💥💥💥
Now I know Cozz is at birds... Am taking my bmw their... 250 mile round trip.. It's worth it
Thanks for watching Steve. Give Kos a call, he definitely knows his BM's 👍🏼
Wow!!!
What a stunning car.
Raj, can you please let me know when you decide to sell. I really am interested!!!
Thank you
Peter
It won’t be for a couple of years 👍🏽
@@rajsangha911 Thank you for your response. I am a patient man.
Maybe I could swap my Estoril Blue 840CI along with some cash??
But please let me know when you do decide to sell it. It is definitely the colour combo that is my favourite and you have only added to it with the mods you are doing.
Great channel and great work.
Thank you
Any plans to own any Alpina cars Raj?
IL piacere di guardare una macchina con l'interno che sembra un'aereo e oltretutto comodissima. Sfrecciare per le strade, con una linea così raffinata, sportiva, elegante! Una forma...unica al mondo!!!
840ci or Db7 ?
Lovely bimmer one of the favourites
Agree, such an iconic car 🙌🏽
I got a 1997 35000 miles on it great excellent condition put some 19 ins wheels on it also
Great cars but you have fucked them up
Everything is fully reversible 🤗😎
The Ferrari 355 in the background 😍
Full build episode on that car out very soon 👍🏽
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
Stunning car. Damn she looks good. Thanks for sharing this peach. ☮️💙
Appreciated 🙌🏽
2:05 You are correct about it being the same V12
Gorgeous 8
Thank you 🙌🏽
Very nice Raj, but the original ride height is a much better look in my book 👍
The beauty of air is that you can original drive height if you prefer it 😊🙌🏽
Clean
Slick!
2 Awsome cars
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Love it !!
Thanks Amar 🙌🏽🙌🏽
E39 m5 is the greatest 90s car
His bmw isn’t a m model but yes I agree the e39 is an insane Motor car I drive a e39 330d m sport with 185.000 miles on the clock and it drives and performs handles like dream , I can’t even imagine how amazing the m5 version is of the e39
Not really 90s car. Early 00s
Stunner.
My favorite #e31 @e8thirty1
