It is significantly more comfortable and grown up to drive. The standard equipment is very generous too with lots of bits I didn't have before like the HK speakers, Head up display and Comfort Access.
Try them both and see what you think but unless you're desperate for the slightly better performance/ soundtrack the 8-series is better IMO.
Oh and on the fuel economy I'm seeing about 35mpg long term from the 840d whereas the Z4 sat at 28mpg so a slight improvement there  |
I didn't think I'd fine anyone else who did the same jump I just did...
I also had a z4 m40i (and loved it for a whole 8 months)...but I now need more space to travel in Europe and I just swapped it with a 840D convertible!
The engine swap (revs and sound..) hurts a little bit...but the 8 series is on another league!
My mpgs were very different though....on 2500 miles I did a 19mpg on the Z4 (mostly driving in London though..). I still have to drive the 840d for a bit to check that out
