20-20 HINDSIGHT

Wow g uys. I’ve been watching over t he last few edit ions for stor ies about what I may have lurk ing in my ga rage. I’ve had a BMW 840 for a round 10 yea rs, a nd she is r umoured as one of t he last ones into Aus. She’s a 1999 840 Ci (a) Indiv idua l, t hey were t he last bui lds a nd specia l order, a nd mine is romantic red, crea m leat her a nd a nt hracite hood lining a nd t r im, she’s only just past 50,000 k m a nd is in prett y much as new condit ion.

I drive her as much as needed to keep her in rea l ly good condit ion a nd OMG what a huge a mount of launch torque t hey have, it’s a l most i mpossible to lose t ract ion so ever y t hing including spleens t r y to remain stat iona r y as t he t hi ng rockets for ward.
