Short answer - 💯yes!
I test drove both the M440i and 840i back to back. Whilst the M440i was great and has more power, for me the 840i won hands down. Strangely it felt more powerful than the 440 which was a bit jittery - the power delivery in the 840 was smoother. For what’s it worth I get more looks and comments on the 840 - don’t think I’d get that on the 440. And as already mentioned they are a rare sight - although in the morning drive to work today spotted two 8 coupes.
