After two years of ownership I've decided that the time has come to move on. I don't want to sell the 840 but unfortunately circumstance dictates that I do because I can't really afford to keep it. It's too uneconomical to use as a daily driver and the prospect of future repair bills that I will struggle to pay is not a pleasant one. I've really enjoyed my time with it and have no regrets so at least it'll be a tearful farewell for all the right reasons 
Not going just yet as I still have some bits and pieces to sort out but just thought I'd let you guys know.
So, that's that...

Sorry to hear that Seb however understandable if affordability is an issue. 2 years of the 8 series ownership is sweet however. Good luck with the future sale.
Also, am looking foward to the 8 series story in next months BMW mag

Thanks
I think the 8 Series story will be a nice way to mark my departure from E31 ownership. -
Welcome to the"After Eight " club Seb, but Life goes on
you will still be tempted to revisit but onwards & upwards hey;-) -
I can now officically say I am a member of the 'after eight' club as well!
Same thoughts as Seb really, I think the new exhaust pipe finished me off.
I did get another BMW though, so I'm still (kinda) in the fold)
-
tried and failed (miserably) to become a member of the after eight club
Looks like I'll be buried in mine now as i cannot imagine selling, and after all that's been done to it, anyone actually parting with cash to buy mine anyway...
Good luck with the sale though Seb, and cheers for raising the profile of them somewhat in your mag

I got a Z3 M as its replacement...totally different car, and I will sorely miss the 8, but it was a good run!
The Z3 M is a totally different car however

You'll be back... I had an e36 evo which has the same S50 as your car. It was fantastic fun for a while but I got sick and tired of thrashing it everywhere plus you'll spend every waking moment with your ear on your vanos waiting for it to give up. I'm just kidding, have fun and don't look back! (then in a year buy yourself a CSi

Thanks guys
I like the sound of the After Eight Club! -
After Eight Club?
Sounds like an exclusive members only dinner club that I might have to join as I am also toying with the idea of a B10 V8.

Unlucky?
Seb, perhaps you've been unlucky? I've just read your short 'running report' in November's issue.....sheesh, sounds like a mobile disaster.
I think a lot depends on the care taken by previous owners and of course good old common 'luck'........
The climate in the UK does nothing to help of course. That and the brainless morons who surround us on our roads and will happily drive into you in car parks etc., Oops, sorry...mustn't rant, I can't even use car parks near me as council has installed ramps suitable for other breeds of modern vehicle with 1 foot of ground clearance..........
Shame you couldn't get the 'mag' to stump up more funds.......... -
