2020 BMW 840i | The Price Is NOT Right

We review on the 2020 BMW 840i Coupe to discuss the good and bad of a car with a nearly 100k price tag. The market of 100k coupes is small however, there are some crazy examples like the Jaguar F Type, Porsche 911, Lexus LC500, and Mercedes AMG. There is tech, carbon and a BMW Badge, what else could you want?

[@weedmastersr]

I couldn't agree more Mark. Spending 100k on a 2 door car, or maybe any car, is not a rational decision. So, if we're not being rational, then it must have an emotional appeal. It must feel cool, unique and special and this just doesn't. I really don't like how BMW is copy pasting interiors. Basically all the models look the same inside, and that's just not good when you have models for which you ask 100k+. They won't feel special enough. If Lexus can give the LC 500 a unique interior, then so can BMW but they are just too lazy in my opinion. I honestly just rather have the Lexus. It has a cool V8, looks super unique inside and out, and it's simply more special. Both have a synthetic driving experience, but the Lexus is just more special to me. It's certainly not rational to spend that much on a car, especially a rather impractical 2 door coupe, but if I will spend that it better be worth it. It better be something that makes me feel cool every time I drive it and every time I get out of it. This doesn't. I really hope modern cars get their shit together because most of them feel so boring they're putting me to sleep. I'm much rather spend my money on a 1990s 8 series and do a full restoration on one and make it pristine. That feels better to drive and it looks better inside and out.

We just want 2 cents. You threw in a whole dollar.

[@alecempire8982]

On one side you have a BMW which, I'd say 50% of car manufacturers try to copy one way or another, rich history with tons of memorable car models. On the other sie you have a Lexus... Zero to some history and made up name with really only one market in which they sell cars, USA. Thanks but no thanks. Since BMW became unaffordable to average Joe they all of a sudden became unreliable, crap cars not worth the cost. Give me a break.

[@gtmike916]

Alec Empire Yeah Lexus actually cares about the average joe which is why most models are still relatively affordable. If BMW didn’t make their cars so damn complex they would actually sell better and last longer. BMW at this point isn’t even a quality brand to me.

[@AlexSchwartzATV]

[@alecempire8982]

@@gtmike916 it's Lexus. Why should they care about average Joe? There is toyota for that. Bmw may be complex but that's for a reason. Because they have to drive and handle like a BMW which will always be a level up from a Lexus or Cadillac. If you want the best and we can agree that bmw does a lot of things really good if not best in segment, you are going to have to pay for it. Not everybody is trying to rip off everybody else. Bmw simply cost that much.

I have had a merc, rovers, and a lexus. The inside isn't exciting, but it's the most efficient cabin i have been in by far.121k was the sticker price, which is overpriced. But 54k with 40k miles with 125k dealer warranty is a value. 4 doors 0 to 60 3.4 that was my personal best is a lot of car. Get one used it's worth it. Open to other's thoughts in comments.

[@ilovelimpfries]

I understand why Jack feels that way. If you put aside the price and look at it as a car, it's a very competent, well engineered and well thought-out car. Almost every argument i heard on the 8 series is the price. Lets not forget the original 8 series was horrendously overpriced back in the 90s and thats why it didnt sell. I'm willing to bet we will be singing this car praises in 20 years. Another case in point, the Z8.

[@JavonAnonimni]

@@ilovelimpfries Yep, the 8er is great objectively and it is somewhat nicer inside than lesser BMW models. The price is what it is, probably on purpose as to keep it niche. Could have they done more on the interior to distinguish it from other models? Sure. Does it lack character? It does if you are used to older cars, which were louder, rougher, less synthetic and had imperfections you've grown to love over time. But cars nowadays are trying to be the opposite and with emission, safety and other regulations are becoming more bloated, refined and isolated. That's true with all cars, not just the 8er or BMWs in general. And for a vehicle at this price point, Jack said it also, it would be a travesty to be loud and rough (but had "character"). The target buyer wants it to be quiet and loud when needed, that's why you have the fake exhaust, car reviewers need to understand this and get used to it.

By Suggestion an Edit- This was an experience I had with this model from BMW, not as much to do with the Brand, one saved my life before, and they can produce one hell of an auto, and on this occasion selling it put food on the table for the week, I am grateful for the market that provides this, on the other hand it gets concerning as the resources it takes to build/sell just one car, the manufacturing, use of natural resources, debts, etc. I love the design and care they have to engineer a near 50/50 weight balance, how you can usually take 75% of whats next to you at a stoplight, I am a fan of all that but, this is a vehicle for the moment it seems, and not one for long term enjoyment, its a machine that requires lots of care, making sure it doesn't get keyed, buying tires after being surprised at how fast they need looking after, the joy of driving can become an expensive hobby. Sometimes its not a thought for some owners, wealthy or not, thats where I think the priorities of building and wanting a car like this can be fun and enjoyable but it can take a toll on the future, I have the honor of being around them daily, Love our customers who drive them, you do make the world go round, some deals make sense, just be cautious about what you consume and take care of what you do. I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming. ) I was lucky enough to sell one when they first came out, the client had an M3 he was keeping(ended up trading with 16k negative equity) and wanted a mazda CX3 as a winter beater, Since he had BMWs I told him about the M850 now being all wheel drive, so he decided to buy it and drove it home, it was a 2300 lease payment:(, the last time I followed up with him, 1 year into ownership, he had to get rid of it because of divorce, sad.

101k buys 5 new Corolla LE sedans and you will have money left over. I was cross shopping the 2020 BMW 840i and the 2020 Toyota Corolla LE sedan and the Corolla was more fun to drive. Seriously. The Corolla is a lot lighter and because of the all-new TNGA platform, had excellent handling and driving characteristics. Plus I can buy the Corolla for 18k out the door (you have to negotiate hard) while this overpriced German junk is over 100k. Plus Corolla has naturally aspirated bulletproof 1.8 liter engine so more reliable than the B58 turbo engine.

Adjusted for inflation, a 1987 635csi was $100k so this is nothing new for BMW. I think the early 90s 8 series was probably even more expensive. in today's dollars. Both were big, heavy (for their day) GT autobahn cruisers mostly driven by bankers. Anyway, I've noticed that Mark tends to get very agitated about expensive european cars and the perceived person who drives them. He kind of spirals into scotty kilmer-esque nonsensical rants at times. The whole thing about the car should only cost 60 (then later he says 40)- really?! Dude- you can barely get a 6 cylinder 4 series coupe for that amount. I'm not a fan of this car either, but it's totally worth the price given the engineering and attention to detail.

[@MrCarGuy]

There are reasons why European cars had such inflated prices in the 80s and 90s. Please study why. You need to look at EU prices to be fair. This car is not nearly as differentiated as the E31 was from other BMW products or even the previous 6 series. 6 series was the flagship before the 8.

Appreciated the really nice sound quality in this video (speeches and music). This makes you able to enjoy the content.

[@thielepr]

As a BMW fan and couldn’t agree more on this review. Hard to comprehend this 840i is on the same category of the Lexus LC. This Bmw for 60k would be awesome. Remember the corvette is always fun until it gets to the Porsche money.

[@fastboatster]

Yep, cpo. Actually might be able to get it for 70ish new since its actual msrp is 80. 100k is with a lot of options

[@805NAVE]

The Lexus LC is so much sexier and more Beautiful in every way. From the gorgeous perfect interior top notch materials and reliability out of that DELICIOUS sounding 5.0 N/A V8 it’s and absolute work of art. This bmw could never live up to compete with that

[@JAnx01]

Hard to comprehend what? The 8-series in a V8 trim is a much faster, better handling, with a more spacious interior, better gearbox and a better infotainment system. It is also more rigid and lighter thanks to that carbon core. A NA V8 exhaust note is nice, but it doesn't define the whole car.

[@JAnx01]

@@805NAVE That's subjective. Hideous headlamps are almost becoming a Lexus brand value at this point and the interiors are an over styled mess across the board, the LC being a prime example of that. Not to mention the design is the culprit of it being cramped when it didn't have to be. It's supposed to be a GT car.

[@coopsnz1]

Cheaper to build cars in USA and you don't need to ship a corvette from Germany saving business shipping costs either , in Germany union leaders and Government are cancer to business which pushes up production costs to build BMW why consumers pay more, the net profit margins on a bmw built $5000 , the net profit bmw germany corporaton make 10%

I'm actually quite optimistic about it's reliability, at least for the drivetrain since its basically what all the bmws have - b58 plus zf 8 speed. Don't know about the engine experts here but Steve Papadakis was actually impressed with b58 engine.

Guys, at least watch more footage in the video before you create your own echo chamber of idiocy. It obviously wasn't closed properly.

[@MrDieselakias]

@@JAnx01 it is not idiocy. It is hilarious when the presenter says there are not panel gaps while huge panel gaps are shown in the video (irrelevant if it is because the bonnet is not closed properly). Maybe he chose to put the clip of the bonnet while talking about gaps as an irony

[@brendanpeery2655]

looks like it's bent or something. later it shows a lower front shot and that gap isn't there. they said it had been keyed but maybe there was more to it.

[@outwestinc]

The Gran Coupe version of the 8 Series is the best "value" in the lineup. I had one for about a month as a loaner and enjoyed it immensely. It should be noted that no one is paying anywhere near MSRP for these. Average discount sits around 15-20% off, so this car would be closer to $80K. Still a shit-ton of money, but not six figures.

You can get a loaded G70 3.3T under $45k all day long maybe even $40k-$42k OTD if you lean in hard enough. It's an M340i competitor that runs $70k with the same options. I consider that a pretty good value.

[@tman2damax]

The current 8 series should be named what it really is in disguise, a 6 series, it doesn't look or feel anything like anyone would imagine a true 8 series successor would. We all theorized that the new 8 series would be the i8 with a v12 in the back or something crazy like that in order to be the true BMW flagship. But the 8 series we have, in a weird way, is the BMW flagship. It represents the shift from well engineered, well build cars that were very fun an engaging to drive, to a brand that's just has a badge to flex and you know it's going to be effortless to drive around town or on the highway. Luckily the M2 still exists, but who knows how long they'll still offer an affordable, 'traditional' BMW.
