# 2019-2025 BMW 840i xDrive Coupe The 840i xDrive represents BMW's accessible entry into the resurrected 8 Series lineup, pairing a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six (335 hp) with all-wheel drive. This grand tourer emphasizes luxury cruising over outright performance, featuring a sleek, low-slung design and a tech-laden cabin. **Critical Reception:** Reviewers praise its refined powerplant, composed handling, and upscale interior, though some criticize its hefty 4,400-lb curb weight and less engaging dynamics compared to sportier BMWs. The infotainment system earns mixed reviews for complexity. **Best For:** Affluent buyers seeking a stylish, comfortable long-distance cruiser with legitimate rear seats (though tight). It's ideal for highway travel and making impressions, less so for canyon carving. **Notable:** Often overshadowed by the more powerful M850i, the 840i offers similar aesthetics at lower cost but has faced criticism for not feeling special enough to justify its $85,000+ starting price.
The 2019-2025 BMW 840i features a complex twin-turbo V8 requiring premium fuel and expensive synthetic oil changes. Expect high costs for run-flat tires, carbon-ceramic brake options, and advanced driver-assistance system repairs. Insurance premiums run above-average due to high replacement costs. Generally reliable mechanically, but electronic glitches occasionally occur. Depreciation is steep initially.
