Question How is the handling in the 8 cars?

I know clube31 will answer cause I know you have that 840ci...but if theres a chance of others could you describe the handling, the feel. I have a 99 3 series and it handles great, the chassis is very stiff and I feel the car throught the steering wheel(great car).

I'd imagine it's really good, but i don't know, never driven one

you should find a used one and test drive it

It's a GT, that means heavy car...you won't have the same handling than on the 3...

But, that also means that the 8 is a true killer on the autobahn...

But try to read some post on my site, i'm sure that could help you guess...

The best for you would be to try one ;-)

I have to say the handling is pretty good although no 3-series. I drove mine in Ireland last year and the twists and turns certainly challenged it. The power is immense and with the weight it makes for interesting driving!
