BMW 8 series content, and yes, yes she's very dirty

Hey all, heres my 840ci. Just finished doing a 6 speed swap on her. Just waiting on a shift boot and shes pretty much done.

Its just a point and click camera, and this is a daily driver with 163,000 miles on the clock, so be kind.

Anywho, here she is...

Its already on H&R race springs.. that car tends to sit really high.

The suspension geometry cant handle being lowered much more without a lot of work unless you just don't care about handling. Otherwise, I'd love to lower it another inch or so.

Thanks for the compliment though.

And to the other fellow who asked about the seats, they are actually a lot more comfortable then most stock BMW seats.

well done, I bet it's a riot with the 6-speed!

I LOVE the 8-series gauge cluster. Its such an attractive design.

if you want to go lower, I'll be milling some roll center spacers soon to fix the front end geometry back to stock for lowered cars...

Car looks sexual, so far I've only got the pedals done on my manual swap

How do your seatbelts work? The stock 8ers are integrated into the seat I think?

Looks great man!! One word of advice, do anything you can to keep those seats away from sun light. My old set was purple in 3 months (this was a T top camaro).

Nuke! Finally done ... looks amazing.

Definitely could use a bigger drop and some spacers, but it's pretty fabulous as it is.

It's seems clear where your taste in cars is at..

Not digging the race seats. But outside looks clean.

Beautiful car. Thought I saw you the other day at southern & mill but after looking at the pics im thinking that wasnt you, the car I saw had tinted front turn signals. Amazing car regardless, I love the 8s... I someday will own one
