“There’s a delay in acceleration” yeah no crap when your in 7th gear and the transmission has to downshift 😂

[mikimiki]

That is one good looking car
In my opinion most attractive 4 door car

[bavariancarenthusiast]

The 8 is probably the best looking BMW for a while - not a SUV person over here - but, they are growing, getting heavier and heavier.

[migy]

I’ve seen the 8 Seriies GC in the showroom and agree it is possibly the best looking BMW in a long time.

Wonder why the B58 has been tuned to 335 HP rather than the 382 HP of the M340i?

I recall reading a bit of inside info saying these were actually supposed to be new 6 Series, but then BMW decided to add 2 to the name and get crazy with the price. With all your mention of body motion not befitting a high dollar Ultimate Driving Machine, that kinda checks out. Shame, because the GC is pretty.

Just wait two years. Then purchase one for half price with under 20K in miles.

The default modern approach to reviewing a BMW; cynical.

The BMW 840i G16 is an outstanding sports limousine that truly excels in performance and comfort. The power it delivers is exceptional, providing more than enough thrust to make every drive exhilarating. Its stability at high speeds is impressive, with minimal body roll during cornering, ensuring a secure and engaging driving experience.

The braking system is superb, offering confident and reliable stopping power that complements the car's dynamic capabilities. The build quality is top-notch, reflecting BMW's commitment to luxury and precision. With a fully equipped interior, the 840i G16 combines cutting-edge technology and high-end materials to create an environment of ultimate comfort and refinement.

While the vehicle’s sound may be somewhat subdued due to the particulate filter (OPF), this does not detract from its overall excellence. The 840i G16 is a well-rounded sports limousine, blending ample power with unparalleled comfort. It's a car that stands out for its performance, driving pleasure, and luxurious features.

Contrary to what might be implied by some reviews, this vehicle is far from being just a quiet luxury car; it delivers both in terms of driving dynamics and comfort. It's a true testament to BMW's ability to engineer a car that satisfies both sporty ambitions and luxurious expectations.

Cover the engine with Tupperware!😂 made my day😂😂

[Houndzable]

I love mine. It was a BMW managers car. Was a year and a month old when I bought it well got it on the BMW finance deal. 5k miles on the clock. It’s a lovely piece of kit. Never ever thought I would sell my six. I hope they don’t release a 10

[HB-vtkz]

the same package im gonna buy it for sure

[Kelveron]

Regarding the pitch, roll and dive point, the sportier versions of the 8GC, as in M850i and M8, will definitely handle sharper and be more controlled.

[matthewgrayson]

It is a very very good looking car inside and out 👍🏼

[RichardinNC]

Chances are the braking distance was a factor of entry level all season RFT tires, being an 840i.

[skagerstrom]

Fun to have magnesium under the dashboard by the way :p WHOOF when it catches fire xD

[therrandy]

That's right ask the tough questions.

[joecool]

I cant decide which is sexier, the new Audi A7 or the 8GC

The current CLS is a disappointment though

[Augie]

What did you think of the laser lights? Is it difficult to speak to the quality of headlights? Outside of Consumer reports no one ever talks about how good/bad the headlights are. Thanks love your show and it’s great to have you back!

[bigdog]

This looks like like a bigger nissan maxima

[oumaniac]

In my country, this same car is US$200K lol
