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..

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.

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.

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.

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