beautiful car. Keep her clean and congrats

Very nice Ethan, I notice you've got an armrest is that from Bird?

Wayne, no idea Sir... I just purchased the car last weekend and it come like that from the previous owner. He said he had it custom made somewhere in New Jersey.....

Here's the one from Bird for reference, not cheap at $300 -$500 :eek:

Congrats... looks like it just popped out of a time capsule...

Yo,
Rod

It does look like mine indeed. I guess lucky me... Tell you what, this armrest was a true blessing after driving almost 2000 miles over the weekend.... Is a great addition to the car...

Nice car and excellent condition

Thank you all guys for the compliments....

Nice car and excellent condition

That's ridiculous.

Such low mileage...



Nice!

Actually was even lower, at about 16.600 but drove it back from New Jersey and took some more trips with it last week......
But yeah that's the lowest mileage I ever seen on an 850... and it did not take me long to make a decision and buy it...


That's ridiculous.

Nice!

good to see another 8 in Texas.

how many you got now Ethan?!

Nice ride, Brother

Greg just 2 of them now.... One is going to the Supercharger project and this 97 will be my wifes :-)

how many you got now Ethan?!

lucky wife!. Mine won't go near my 8 anymore (for obvious reasons...)

Very nice ride...

I got an arm rest from Auto Chic, matched the leather, $160, low profile, doesn't overpower the cabin.

nice! your 97 looks just like my 96 850ci the day I got it! stock wheels and all...

Steff, after she took my 97 for a ride she said, " I can get used with this" :-) She got compliments and some dude hitting on her, or the car in less than 10 minutes at the grocery store..... Now I am kind of worry that I won't get to drive it very much..... O well I still have the white 91.....

Awesome car man.

Well, at least you have the White one (I like that color better anyway...)

I do like white better as well. To be honest I have no preferences what I am driving. They both handle the same way.... With the wokke chips on my 91 it feels as snappier as the 97 so I am happy with that.......
But the black got some good personality as well, so I should say that I love them both equally?

Thanks brother......

I don't know about black wheels man :-) I rather go with some CSI throwing star? I will have to steal my throwing stars from my white 850i and put them on.....

Curious about the armrest. How does your armrest install in the 8? The Autochic website doesn't discribe the installation. Does it have a flip top compartment? Did the leather covering match your upholstry?

The Autochic drops into where the phone was. It does not flip open.

Have a look: http://dcbimmer.tripod.com/1997bmw840ci/id2.html

Thx Koiz, helped a lot for that model. I still prefer the E46 conversion and will do that.

That does seem like the best way to go since the E46 armrest looks perfectly stock once fitted. I might have to do the same at some point.

Koizumi's link is basically it, and yes, the leather matched perfectly.

Beautiful car!

Thanks mate......
