840i Petrol

Hi, just wondering if anyone has driven the 840i yet...either rear wheel or X drive version? If so, would appreciate some feedback especially on handling and steering feel. Thanks

I only have about 250km with mine but I can tell you already it's the best car I have ever owned. I had a V8 6 series before but this B58 engine is really all you need and want. Handling (all wheel steering) is superb and steering feel is fantastic once you get used to the very direct input.
I haven't pushed the car at all so can't comment on handling at the limit but it should be even better as the engine is lighter. Mine is RWD btw.
I really am in love with my 840i.

Many thanks for the great feedback. Very helpful indeed and even better that you have the RWD version. All the best with your wonderful car.
