    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

    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!

    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.

    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
      @Joe_Hutchinson  3 роки тому

      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
      @JuanCarlosLTO 3 роки тому +1

      @@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 🤷🏻‍♂️

    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.

    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
      @Joe_Hutchinson  3 роки тому +1

      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.

    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?

      @Joe_Hutchinson  3 роки тому

      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.
