About the BMW 8 Series G15
The G15-generation 8 Series marked the return of BMW's flagship nameplate after a two-decade hiatus, succeeding the 6 Series as the brand's premier grand tourer. The 840i serves as the entry point to the range, powered by the highly regarded B58 turbocharged straight-six engine, which offers a more agile driving experience than the heavier V8 models. Built on the CLAR platform shared with the 7 Series, it features a sophisticated interior and rear-wheel steering as standard to mask its significant footprint. While it leans more towards luxury than a pure sports car, the 840i is praised for its balance of refinement and driver engagement.
