    It looks retarded with the double chest straps. I would rather drive a cheap KIA car than that thing. #bmwc1e

    That's not safer. Your head is as vulnerable in many types of crashes as if you were on a motorcycle. Except you aren't wearing a helmet.

    There's also a lot more weight, and the mass and center of gravity is much higher. It will be less maneuverable and controllable.

    The four point belts would be an improvement in cars.

    BMW initially produced this to provide more weather protection for riders, but it doesn't really provide all that much more. It is breathtakingly expensive. They managed that very well. #bmwc1e

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Your right - this lady is very susceptible to a head injury of the worst sort; bft to the temple. Believe it or not, I think they had actually planned on putting airbags on this when it was first developed. I doubt they've figured out how to do that though.

    I think the MP3 by Piaggio is probably safer just from a stability standpoint. And they could actually make a version with an enclosed cockpit if they wanted, which could be kinda cool and allow for riding in inclement weather. #bmwc1e

    Why do companies fu$k around with well established names? GTS? Really? Let me tack onto my stripped down version a generic name that every other mfr uses.

    CSL or a GTS? Unless of course I don't know about some other super XXX rated CSL which is coming out.

    Does this also come with the blinker delete like every other 3-series?

    That's gotta cut down on fluid weight. #bmwm3

    As the owner of a '94, I'll tell you that the 840 doesn't handle all that well and is expensive to fix. But, it is surprisingly reliable and you tend to fall in love with it and all its bloated '90s technology. Plus, most people don't know what the hell it is, which is always fun. Nice price.

    840's are pretty easy on the wallet, it is the early 850's with the active suspension that will drive you to bankruptcy. I do think that they styling on these cars has not held up that well. #bmw840ci

    This is basically a 928 with a trunk. Too big to be a sports car, too small to be a useful sedan, lots of gratuitous, expensive technology, and styling that only really blows away a thin slice of the population that wanted it new. #bmw840ci

    FYI, The auction is a best offer auction. Make me a nice price offer. :)

    I don't have proof, but I suspect the engine was replaced as the Nikasil blocks did not last much past 100K. #bmw840ci
