The BMW 8 Series 840d xDrive turbo diesel is a standout luxury grand tourer, perfectly suited for the diverse and often challenging Australian driving landscape. Equipped with a robust 3.0-litre inline-six turbocharged diesel engine, this model delivers an impressive blend of power and efficiency. With approximately 320 horsepower and a torque figure exceeding 680 Nm, the 840d offers strong acceleration and confident overtaking capabilities on Australia's open highways, including long stretches such as the Stuart or Eyre Highways.
This BMW comes with BMW’s advanced xDrive all-wheel-drive system, ensuring exceptional grip and stability on various road surfaces—from wet city streets to gravel roads often found in rural areas like Victoria’s high country or Queensland’s outback routes.

Safety features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and night vision are invaluable assets for tackling both metropolitan traffic congestion in cities like Sydney or Melbourne and long-distance travel through regional corridors.
