The car
About this car in Florence
Open-top grand touring needs a coast, and from Florence there are two worth the drive. The 840i xDrive Convertible covers both with ease: a 333 hp twin-turbo straight-six, an automatic gearbox that settles into a hush at 130 km/h, and all-wheel drive that keeps it planted when a summer storm rolls in off the sea.
The first is the Versilia. The A11 passes Lucca, then the road between Viareggio and Pietrasanta follows the beaches, with the white marble quarries of the Apuan Alps above. The second lies further south: the Etruscan Coast and Bolgheri, where the Viale dei Cipressi runs five kilometres from San Guido to the village among estates producing the great Tuscan reds. With the roof down and the wind deflector up, conversation stays easy even at motorway pace, and 5.2 seconds to 100 km/h makes joining the Aurelia simple.
The boot takes two medium suitcases and a small one, which suits a couple staying by the sea for a few nights. Thanks to all-wheel drive and winter tyres in the cold season, the car is not only a summer choice. Florence's historic centre is a ZTL watched by cameras; the 840i can wait at a registered hotel garage, or be handed over at Firenze Peretola, Pisa Galileo Galilei or Santa Maria Novella.

Drives from Florence, the best months and when to book
Suited to this car
- The Chianti (about 40 km from Florence): The SR222 Chiantigiana from Florence to Greve, Panzano and Castellina, between wineries and cypress hills.
- Fiesole (about 8 km from Florence): The climb through San Domenico to Fiesole, with its Roman theatre and the view over the whole of Florence: the shortest outing, perfect at sunset.
- Siena and San Gimignano (about 70 km from Florence): The motorway link to Siena and Piazza del Campo, then the medieval towers of San Gimignano among the Vernaccia vineyards; both old towns are limited traffic zones, so you park outside the walls.
