RWD, AWD, and 4WD all have their advantages and disadvantages….but the 8 series only comes in RWD or AWD (not 4WD).

AWD has advantages in more than cold climates…it has some positives in situations that has compromised traction which could be any loose or wet situations (like rain)…as well as dry traction, too.

I waited 13 months for my 2023 840ix convertible in Sunset Orange metallic. Tartufo/ black two tone full leather interior. This car stays in Arizona, so I only get to drive it 5 months a year. It GLOWS in the AZ sun. Yes, they see me coming from a mile away — and I like that. The next “must have” is the crystal gearshift knob. Ultimate bling! Sealed the deal with my wife, and it makes the men slobber as well. I personally did not want the room-room sound of the V8, so no interest in M850, but that’s a personal choice.

Love driving with the top down on a sunny day. Oh, yeah, every day is a sunny day in Tucson.

So now the secret's out. Some of the colors combo's I see would keep me from buying the car.
In my past I've had a few cars with red on the interior. Took me years to stop throwing up. As far a tan goes. I'll buy a saddle.
And as far as white goes....I'll leave that to the bride.
I have seen some cool exterior colors but none that I'd want to see daily or own. My driveway looks like a Mennonite convention or a funeral directors class reunion. I'm not very color adventurous I know. My truck is black with a grey interior....flashy eh?

Funny write up.

While at the dealer I spied a Black on black and a white on black B8. Honestly the black on black was spectacular.
As for the particular car I am looking at it has mostly everything ex DAP and B&W. But it is very well priced.
What I have with Pre owned is it is really hard to find that exact spec. I am in no rush so may continue to search. Funny thing is hear in the mid-Atlantic there a very few to almost no 840 coupes.

I'm considering Carbon Black with Tartufo/Ivory interior and ivory headliner.

Frozen colors are now very popular. I prefer the dark merino interior myself.
