The BMW 840i coupé and convertible can go from 0-100km/h in 5 seconds and 5.3 seconds respectively.

“With a sleek modern design, sports performance attributes and expansive equipment list, it presents a compelling offer for those seeking a luxurious grand touring experience.”

Both are fitted with a 3.0L inline six-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, offering increased fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions.

The coupé and convertible have highlights such as soft close doors, integral active steering, wireless phone charging, driving and parking assistant and multifunctional seats for driver and front passenger.

The 840i will arrive in Australia by September 2019.

The coupé is priced at $202,900 and the convertible is slightly more at $217,900.
