I,ve had my ' 94/95 840 daily drive for twelve months now, 19k miles added to the clock since 123k in total - it's got it's share of car park dinks, scrapes and minor mechanical failures etc... but I love it to bits.
I've recently had it lowered, and did a 700 mile round trip to Peterbourough from Cornwall, I had comments rangeing from "is that the new the new 6 series" to "bet you don't get many gallons to the mile etc..." at the service stations - The 8 grabs attention, whether you like it or not.
It has it's niggles , as any car does, you just accept them as a part of the driving experience. - It's the fact that your driving something a touch special than the norm.
