While I can't say from experience, my guess is the 840i has noticeably improved handling over the M850i. 450lbs less, better weight distribution (52% on front wheels vs 55%), and RWD will transform a driving experience. Obviously you lose out on power and sound so just depends what you value.

I found this Car and Driver article valuable.

Doesn't answer your question about equipment but at a minimum shows that 840i has a lot of positives
I agree on the COVID aspect impacting dealers but one would think at least someone would approach during a hour visit to at least say "hi" and explain the situation. Better to make a contact with anyone looking at cars in this economy vs just flat out ignoring them.

Good article and it definitely outlines some positives of the 840i. Given a bit extra weight on the GC one would expect the Coupe snareman is considering would even be a bit more peppy and a little better handling to boot.
