Test drive in a 840

[*bM** 0]

Took a 840i for a spin the other day, does anyone on here own one?

It was a Manual, which i was surprised to see. Smooth as a mofo, no overly impressed with the power, abit disapointing realy. I have to say it was a quick blat up the m'way so didnt get to play a high speed so i dinno what thats like. All good a high engine speeds realy rev happy. Did a little drift as you do and it handled well considering the size.

A very cool car tho, alsome looks. I own one not for the price that there at right now but maybe down the track.

Yeah, i've driven a few, not as impressive as i thought.. Definitely did a beter job with the new 6 series.

Was it a red one. With a red leather roof lining?

To my knowledge there was only 1 840CSi in the country and it was Gerry's.

There is two 840 down here in dunedin and one 850.

No, you are missing the point. There are plenty of 8 series, not many CSi.

Ci are like E30's, everybody has one.

Whats the difference ??

are the 850i's bangin'?

i was disapointed with the merc 500sl (tupac/biggie era model - early 90's of your not a gansta =). it winds up ok, sounds ok, but its not fast, and its only marginally better than the 320sl (3.2 straight 6 - i think?)

What kind of diffs do they have? fancy electronic? LSD?
