FOR SALE
Long time E31 8 Series owner, Scott Marion, is selling his very nice 1995 850Ci, M73 engine with the 5 speed Steptronic automatic transmission. It’s just been posted to the Roundel Classifieds- check it out! https://www.bmwcca.org/ads/296116
Many of you in the Pacific Northwest may have known long time BC8s member, John Eccels, and his E31 black on black USA market 850i/automatic- September 1990 build date. Sadly, John passed away last year. His daughter, Celene, has been the care taker of this car since his passing. She recently reached out to me to say she is going to sell John’s car. The car is in the Vancouver British Columbia area, near the U.S./Canadian border. Formerly a USA car that was imported into Canada, it would be a simple process of some U.S. Customs paperwork to re-import the car back into the U.S. If you are in the market for an E31, please reach out to Celene for all the details.
Throwing Star Wheels – Another long time BC8s member, Martin Cyr, has a set of genuine E31, staggered style, Throwing Star wheels for sale. This is a rare E31 wheel and finding them in good condition is difficult. Martin is also located in the Vancouver British Columbia area, near the U.S./Canadian border. I am sure delivery to a destination between Vancouver and Seattle could be worked out. If interested, reach out to Martin directly for more information.
