Hi Rek!
I still have the E32 750iL. But she is sadly going to be retiring soon due to heater core problems. She had a good run though; and she still drives albeit a bit too hot since the cooling system has reached the end of its life. I might dump more money into her though. It would be a shame to get rid of it.
I recently picked up this E31 840Ci because I came across an offer I could not refuse. I had been searching for a 1 owner low mileage example in mint condition. After waiting for many years, I finally found thee one. 58k, all service papers, pristine mint condition. Everything is like new on this baby. There were only about 7000 V8 examples made, and I was looking for an E31 that could be my daily driver. I found it! Why the V8 instead of the V12? Well it's simple. The V8 is easy to maintain. The V12 is like having two cranky V6 engines to look after. And the performance difference is essentially nil. Don't get me wrong, the V12 M70 engine is bulletproof, it's just a little costly to keep out on the road. Anyhow, I will be installing staggered 18" x 8 and 18" x 9.5 M-Parallel rims with Pirelli Nero tires soon. And I will slap on a gentle 3M ceramic tint to the windows, and add some angled Flowmaster exhaust tips.
The most important issue though comes first: I need to replace the lower oil pan gasket (leaking and should've been changed at 50k). I already have the gasket, and I will install it this weekend.
Other than that, this car is like new. And it is dedicated to my father, who never got a chance to see it (but he asked me everyday about it). He's lucky though, he still gets to ride in it when I pick up his ashes tomorrow and deliver them to my mother's house Just me & my Pop & a whole lotta open lanes!!
Cheers
PS. I love the car & watch combo pics! Nice rides, gentlemen! Like I mentioned earlier, I will take better pics when time permits.
