Best looking convertable period!

Traded in Mercedes’ S550 convertable for this car! Best move I’ve ever made as Mercedes was a complete mechanical nightmare! This car has superior acceleration with a growl! Everything inside very intuitive and easy to work. Only drawback is small backseat room and slight view in front du e to body style. When you park this car the attendants always leave it up front for viewing and it’s a real head turner in traffic.

This is the most complete, beautiful car I've ever driven. Powerful, quiet, attractive, and well-appointed.

In one year, this car had 4 broken wheels. No excessive driving or any reason. A BMW tire/wheel expert told me that the car is VERY heavy, the wheels are light weight and the tires terribly thin. The sales person said that given this situation you have to expect to have wheel issues. Finally I got them to take the car back and BMW agreed to pay but would not take responsibility for the bad engineering. Such a wonderful car and such a terrible set up.

Luxury with plenty of roar.

I believe the 8 series is the best looking of the bunch. I opted for the 840i coupe with the inline 6. There is plenty of HP and tons of torque when driven in either comfort or sports mode. Besides I prefer a BMW which sips fuel vs guzzles. On my daily commute over a 5 day period and 250 miles I am getting 28 mpg. Mostly city driving. I purchased this car with every option available in Tanzanite blue. It’s a real head turners and I receive lots of compliments. This car is comfortable and very safe given all the driver safety features. My only complaint is the rough ride with the all season run flats on the “ M” sports wheels. Any dip in the road, and you will feel it. My neighborhood had spaced speed bumps and speeds over 20 mph will make the car feel bottom out. The car is no light weight at 4000 lbs. My suggestion is to stiffen up the suspension in the custom settings. Other than this nuance, this car is very luxurious, quiet in the cabin and has a killer sound system. One last thing to add which you will read in other online reviews is the price tag on the 840i. At $95K there is a plethora of performance vehicles to choose from. But in my opinion don’t look as cool as the BMW 8 series.
