    Beautiful Car.

    I love the fantastic design of this car, very stylish, power and handling of this 840 is amazing, will never get old and it's still a head turner. I am sure it will be a collectible classic soon.

    BMW 840i 1996-1997

    This is a true cruiser. The car is solid on the road, great ride and very comfortable. A bit tight for over 6' tall drivers but given the other superlatives this is a minor concern. This care feels expensive in its operation, smooth, confortable and great to look at. Very strong engine.

    Most beautiful body and sumptuous interior

    The body style is almost ageless. The 1991 body still attracts a crowd that asks in the year 2011 "Is that a new model?" It was developed as a Grand Tourer for the Autobon and, at high speeds over 100mph, feels like it is on rails. It has features that are finally being included on todays upscale cars i.e. curb viewing side view mirror, keyless entry activated seat, mirror and steering wheel adjustmemnt, automatic window and sunroof closure at 100mph, just to name of few. Interior comfort during long drives is excellent. The back seat is not useuable unless you lower its seat back to store stuff. Predict it will be a future collectable as its production number is low. Only 146 of the preferred Alusil V8 engine 1996 model were sold in the USA.
