Was browsing a fairly large BMW dealer website (where i bought mine). Was surprised to see so many in stock, 52 BMWs in stock, and 139 in-transit. Just a few 2022's, mostly 2023's in stock, mostly SUVs, lots of EVs, a number of M cars, M3, M4, M5,M8.

But no 240s shown in transit even, perhaps individual ordered cars don't show as in transit? I'm sure the lack of 240s is no surprise to folks here but i was surprised at the overall volume of BMWs currently at and coming in to that dealership.

But of all the vehicles they had, only one really caught my eye. A delicious 2019 Barcelona Blue M850ix with 11,000 miles. Stunning automobile and i like the understated look....hummm....priced not much more than half of its $130,000 original window sticker....hummm.....could trade in my 2022 M240 on that incredible V8.
Perhaps take in donations from members here for the extra gas expenses i would incurr???

I can't recall a M840i. Did you mean the M850i? That's the one with the V8. The 840i has the B58.

Stay away from the V8

It’s known to have a lot of heat related problems

It's actually an oil consumption problem caused by excessive engine heat. (N63 engines) Stems from the engine turbo design that nestles the twin turbos in the valley between the two cylinder banks, those contribute to additional heat that leads to really high oil consumption. BMW has lost a class action suit regarding those V8s. They are facing a number of different lawsuits on that engine. They came out with a "revision" that was supposed to fix the problem, but apparently did not. There is the still the same engine/turbo relationship that adds excessive heat leading to oil consumption.

The below references a proposed settlement, not sure if it has been approved by the court

The proposed settlement agreement includes affected customers being eligible to receive two free quarts of oil for topping-off between oil services, along with up to three oil consumption tests performed free of charge. The agreement also includes the potential for replacement of N63TU engines. In order to qualify for engine replacement, a vehicle must fail an oil consumption test, after which BMW may either offer to replace the engine or perform a repair. If the engine continues to consume oil post-repair, the customer will reportedly be offered an engine replacement
