Caralogy Analysis

Tailored to this vehicle?

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 10th of 36 in Top speed (250 km/h). 10th of 36 in Top speed (250 km/h).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 7,5 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S (1st with 3.0 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S (1st with 315 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 5.5 s 0-100 (35th of 36 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the 840i Convertible ranks 35th of 36 in 0–100 km/h, 2.5 s off the reference Porsche Panamera Turbo S (3.0 s).

Top speed: 250 km/h (10th of 36 in Top speed)

Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 315 km/h.

BMW 840i Convertible: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Among the 36 limousines 2019–2023, the 840i Convertible ranks 35th of 36 in 0–100 km/h (5.5 s, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S), 10th of 36 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S), 27th of 36 in Power-to-weight (181 hp/t, behind the Bmw M8 Competition Coupe).

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
