I can't be too mad at anyone working a good "fart" into their review. This review makes me want to add it to the list of "possibles" along with a 440i cabrio. Thanks

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised by that car. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did.

Awesome review, Joe!! Seriously, this was very professionally done. Seems like a nice GT car. Not as big a fan of BMW’s current offerings. I’m stuck in the late 90s/early 2000’s as far as my BMW love goes. Looking forward to more reviews from your channel.

@Joe_Hutchinson 3 года назад

Thanks so much. I was surprised by this car. I thought it would be boring but it isn’t. A nice surprise.

@aviator-kn8zq 3 года назад

really well done video for sure.

There’s 2 pipes there, and they both work. Left side pipe only opens up in Sports mode when idle. This is true in nearly all the BMW models including the B48 ones that haven’t been downtuned too much.

Joe Hutchison: Thank You So Much Very The Video! Was Very Accommodating With Specifics That I Was Intrigued With Universally Of The Vehicle. Now I’m Deciding Between This In The “M 850 i Series convertible”And/Or A “Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 convertible”🤷🏽‍♂️ what’s your intake on comparison? I’d love to hear your feedback!

@JuanCarlosLTO 3 года назад

Great review. One thing: I don’t agree with what you say about the size of the tires. Specially since BMW’s in general ride so bumpy. I have owned many of them and with the M Sports package is even a harsher drive. Maybe I’m getting too old 🤣 but I’m starting to value more function over form and tire wall height alters the ride quality for longer drives... keep up the high quality and detail of your videos

@Joe_Hutchinson 3 года назад

Fair enough! You know what, my context for comparison is my 911 GTS. I should have mentioned that. Compared to the 911, the ride of the 840i is smoother.

@JuanCarlosLTO 3 года назад

@@Joe_Hutchinson I totally get you. I follow you because of your 911 as I’ve been eyeballing one (not new $) for a while and I know that it’s contradictory because my guess is that it’s not the most comfortable ride. I have an E30 which I daily drive and my wife drives a 2018 RX 350, our first CUV ever and although it is a “boring” car, it is VERY comfortable and has open my eyes to plush rides... we are due to replace it and most likely will be another Crossover 🤷🏻‍♂️

@davidrpriest 2 года назад

Drive this car....it is not bumpy. It has a very plush ride especially in comfort.

@JuanCarlosLTO 2 года назад

@@davidrpriest I’m glad to hear that! It’s a superb automobile. I hardly see them on the road. Gorgeous

@Scorpio1075 2 года назад

I wish BMW offered that level of interior quality in the Z4.

@bjbraunlich 3 года назад

What's crazy is I was looking at the 8 series when I moved to the 911 but they didn't offer a Manual in the 8 series. I'm a Manual only guy.

@DB-um2rb 3 года назад

Dude have you looked at the M4? 470hp with a 6 speed manual, it looks like a beast.

How's the chassis flexibility????? Bad???? Good????

@Joe_Hutchinson Год назад

I didn't feel any flexing of the chassis during my test. Felt pretty stiff.

@DP-ih6nt 3 года назад

Funny how the “habitat” for cars like that in the town of Greenwich have horribly broken down streets. 🤷‍♀️

@Joe_Hutchinson 3 года назад

Excellent point! Areas like that need cars with suspensions that smooth out those rough surfaces.

@aviator-kn8zq 3 года назад

beauty , best looking BMW alongside the 5 series. can't say the same for the other models with their distasteful desperate lines and grilles.

What sense does it make to make a spots car too long so this is wast of money

@dwb73 Год назад

The virtually non-existent room for passengers in the backseat, adults or children, begs the question- Why not just make this a 2 seat roadster and eliminate the backseat altogether?

@bjbraunlich 3 года назад

I've had my share of BMW with a ton of issues and switched to Porsche 911 in 2017. You thinking of switching brands?

@Joe_Hutchinson 3 года назад

Definitely not. I got access to this 840i and wanted to see what it was like. As a car guy, I was curious. I was pleasantly surprised as I hope you can tell from the video. Having said that, I like the sportier feel of the 911. I like to participate in autocross events and occasional track days and stuff like that so the 911 is still king for me. I realize not everyone is looking for that sporty feel so something like this 840 has an appeal if a person wants to cruise.

Not a PDK!!! (As I watch the video)

@gustavomartinez9810 7 месяцев назад

@Joe_Hutchinson 7 месяцев назад

The M850i is the V8 version. I would have loved to try that one out too.

@bjbraunlich 3 года назад

Sad that BMW is losing the driver's experience with a Manual.

@Joe_Hutchinson 3 года назад

That is for sure. The new M3/M4 will have a manual, right? I think so. I'll have to look that up though. Ironically the new Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing with a 668 hp V8 will have a manual as standard equipment. That's pretty amazing.
