Hi everyone - I used to have an 840 and have just purchased a second one - an individual with lovely interior including piping and apparently only one of 3 made Biarritz Blue and in good nick. It is not perfect however - the sunroof is a little blistered and raised and is stuck (not leaking) so I am looking for a body shop in the South of the UK (I live near Reading) that is sympathetic to BM's and preferably 8 series. Any recommendations happily accepted. I need to source a new, used, sunroof that we can spray up as have been advised that the one on there will not go back once removed so any help on locating one of those also helpful. The door also needs a new shim apparently to just level it as has dropped slightly over the years due to its weight. Been told this by an ex BM Mechanic who used to work on them but he only does 'under the bonnet' My number is 07818050039 if anyone wants to call me. I am not in a mad rush as I want to spend a little time getting this one right and it will be a top 840. Thanks for any help! |

Hi, just got my 8 back from what I thought was going to be a slight tidy up. Unfortunately under the sill covers tin worm had attacked. Anyway I have had it completely resprayed at what I think is a cheap price but with fantastic results. The guy is an 8 owner and his works are close to Milton Keynes. If you would like to see the pictures I could email them to you, just send me a private message. By the way you can buy the metal sunroof centre lid from BMW I believe. Regards Phil

When I was younger I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said HAPPY. They said I didn't understand the question. I said they didn't understand LIFE !!
