Thanks Beemarman
Frankly, I honestly don't need that much power.
Something less expensive to run, own and insure but still , quiet, smooth and refined (but quick enough when you need it) is what I'm looking for.
I reckon the 840i might hit that spot..

It will.

You’ve gotten some great feedback on the 8C, but I never miss an opportunity to sing its praises. B58 is awesome! More than enough power and oh SO smooth. Pulls really nicely at any speed.

And love RWD. Ultra control (handles and corners like it’s on rails) until you don’t want it, Sport or Plus and traction control off…will spin and squeal and power slide…fairly easily. To me it drives smaller than it is… I don’t feel the weight or length much at all. And, for reference, I’m a woman.

Exhaust note is amazing, I have no idea how BMW got the deep, rumbling sound from that V6…but sure glad they did!

You already know what it looks like, but love to show her off.

That is SUCH a gorgeous colour.
And with those wheels...❤️
Thanks for that!

What colour is your interior?

Night blue & black which I love. Wouldn’t have been my first choice, but after seeing in person, completely sold. Creates a moody, art deco atmosphere esp with the alcantara headliner, glass controls and B&W lit speakers.

[JCSurrey]

The B&W speakers really make the look don't they?
I always had the lights on blue in my 840d and loved that look too but only had the HK speakers.
Your car is stunning.

[Beemer5to3]

Accentu8 I really like that interior combo - seems to go nice with the Skyscraper.

Little bump for this thread by way of an update.
I've been searching for the right 840i for months.
Just haven't been able to find one with the right spec.
Might have found one now and going to see it on Tuesday.
Tanzanite with ivory and all the toys.
Only thing is the mileage is higher than I was hoping for.
2020 car with 26k miles.
What do we think about that?
Any issues I should be specifically mindful of on a car with that many miles?
Also has piano black....
I found the piano black in my E-tron GT really hard to keep clean and avoid little scratches.
Anyone with piano black able to comment?

Thanks!

That amount of miles is nothing to worry about if maintenance was done correctly. B58 is a solid motor. For Piano black I have always PPF'd them so I don't have to worry about much and if the scratches are not deep they buff out and then PPF it. Our X3 cost us 250 for all the inside parts.

[JCSurrey]

Thanks Tenac

That's really helpful.
Hadn't considered PPF for the inside..
🙏

Oh wow, never occurred to me to PPF the interior piano black. TY for the idea. I have almost full PPF exterior and my detailer is nice enough to be throwing in PPF on the door sills/thresholds (all 4 doors) next week (because I’m OCD like that). Soooo I may be asking him about the piano black parts too

Some years ago , a 4 wheel drive car was not even mentioned . People managed well its just rear drive . I drive a 4x4 nissan patrol too and never need to get all 4 wheels to pull or push . Extreme weather like snow is when 4 wheel drive is really needed . In places where there is little rainfall , rear drive only is fine . Extremely powerfull engines need taming , and here x drive does the part.
In short... 840d or 840i rear drive is absolutely fine.
