Let K be an imaginary quadratic field. Modular forms for GL(2) over K are known as Bianchi modular forms. Standard modularity conjectures assert that every weight 2 rational Bianchi newform has either an associated elliptic curve over K or an associated abelian surface with quaternionic multiplication over K . We give explicit evidence in the way of examples to support this conjecture in the latter case. Furthermore, the quaternionic surfaces given correspond to genuine Bianchi newforms, which answers a question posed by Cremona as to whether this phenomenon can happen.
