I love it
the 840i, with 340 metric horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, is fast
(0-100 km/h in 5.3 seconds)

Really? Did you not see the M850 with over 523hp? Which we all know is more than that to get to 60mph in 3.7 seconds.

They are giving options for people that want this car. Nothing wrong with that.

This is a very nice follow up to the 6er.

Always loved the M6GC, the new 8er coupe, M8 and GC look fantastic!!! Def feel it looks a step above the Audi A7, which is saying a lot cuz I LOVE the design of that car.

BMW clearly has their scope set dead on the Panamera which has 330hp in entry level guise.

Geared differently than 540 I assume, faster zero to 60 with more weight and more less same engine (more torque though)

so now 340 PS are not fast enough?
you can choose between 530 PS and 600+ if you wish

Panamera has 330 PS (and even 300 PS in the first generation), so there is nothing wrong with the power figure of the 840i

Yet, the 540i vs M550i is only $13,000 difference.
Cause of this
M850i xDrive Gran Coupe adds:
• 20-inch M V-Spoke Style 728M wheels with performance run-flat tires
• M Sport brakes
• M Sport Differential
• Integral Active Steering
• Adaptive M Suspension
• M Sport exhaust system
• Active Roll Stabilization
• Multi-function front ventilated seats
• M Steering wheel
• Aerodynamic kit
• Shadowline exterior trim
• Anthracite headliner

Some of those are pretty pricey - but the exact options I would order.

Ok, I can breathe again. When BMW announced the end of the 6GC I was worried about them ever delivering a car as beautiful as that. Then when the 8 series was announced. I was waiting to see if the 8GC was going to be better than the 6GC. BMW certainly delivered on this. The 8GC is stunning. Just wish I could afford one.

Because it's an 8. That's is the only reason. This is a car based on the 5er but called an 8 so they can charge more and claim it's a flagship car. They found a way to charge a lot more, claim they have a flagship car while just eliminating the car it replaced (6er). The engine specs match the 5er and and it's barely bigger than the 6er it replaced. That said, this car is going to print money from corporate leases.

: drool:

My only complaint, door handles.... Why does BMW insist on still using door handles that bulge out?! C'mon it's almost 2020, can't BMWs have flush handles that don't ruin the profile of a car?!

Still looks like a Kia to me, although an expensive one...maybe in the minority but I don't like it much. But then I am not a fan of these very large cars.

Beautiful car.


But OMG, what a porker. 4758lbs!!! The M8 GC will come in at close to 5000lbs. Extremely disappointing.
