Munich. The new BMW 8 Series Coupe is able in a
unique way to inspire with its dynamic driving characteristics, whilst
at the same time fascinating with luxurious equipment features and a
sporty, elegant design. Moreover, maximum exclusiveness is also
guaranteed with regard to the individual configuration of the new
luxury sports car.
The BMW M850i xDrive Coupe First Edition
(combined fuel consumption: 9.8 – 9.7 l/100 km; combined
CO2 emissions: 224 – 221 g/km) being launched in the spring
of 2019, will provide proof of this. Now, for the first time, the
drive and suspension technology of the two-door model, which was
developed incorporating motor racing know-how, can now be combined
with exclusive BMW Individual exterior and interior equipment
features.
The BMW M850i xDrive Coupe First Edition will be
produced in a limited quantity of 400 at the BMW Dingolfing plant
between April and June 2019.
The exterior paint finish, light alloy wheels and interior trim will
lend the BMW M850i xDrive Coupe First Edition both an individual and
expressive character. The fascinating exterior appearance is above all
due to the newly developed BMW Individual special paint finish Frozen
Barcelona Blue metallic being applied on a BMW model for the very
first time. It is combined with the upgraded BMW Individual High Gloss
Shadow Line, which, in addition to the side window surrounds, also
includes the BMW kidney grille frame and slats, the air breather
applications and tailpipe trims finished in black. The dark accents
featured on the special edition model are complemented by 20-inch M
light alloy wheels with a Y-spoke design finished in Jet Black.
Available optional features also include, inter alia, an M Carbon roof
and an M Carbon exterior package.
The exclusive aura inside the BMW M850i xDrive Coupe First Edition is
also enhanced by specific BMW Individual design features, a fine
selection of colours and materials and particularly high-quality
equipment. A special feature offered for the edition models is the BMW
Individual full leather trim Merino in the novel colour combination
Ivory White/Night Blue. The harmoniously matching interior design
features also comprise the M leather-covered steering wheel as well as
the BMW Individual Alcantara roof liner, each finished in the colour
Night Blue. Inside the car, BMW Individual interior trim strips in a
Black Piano finish, which are located in the centre of the cockpit,
bear the lettering “First Edition 1/400”. Moreover, the
Bowers Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System and the Crafted
Clarity glass applications on the start/stop button, the iDrive
Controller, the volume control and the illuminated gearshift lever
complement the luxurious interior ambience.
The expressive personality of the
BMW M850i xDrive Coupe First Edition is conveyed by its exterior and
interior design and goes hand in hand with outstanding performance
characteristics. The special edition model is powered by a
390 kW/530 hp, eight-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo
technology. The high-torque V8 power plant is combined with an 8-speed
Steptronic sports transmission and transfers engine power effortlessly
to the road thanks to intelligent BMW xDrive four-wheel drive
technology and a suspension setup that is perfectly tuned to the
vehicle concept.
The fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and electric power
consumption figures were determined according to the European
Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable. The figures refer
to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany. The range shown
considers the different sizes of the selected wheels/tyres and the
selected items of optional equipment, and may vary during configuration.
The values are already based on the new WLTP test cycle and are
translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to ensure
comparability between the vehicles. With respect to these vehicles,
for vehicle-related taxes or other duties based (at least inter alia)
on CO2 emissions, the CO2 values may differ from
the values stated here (depending on national legislation).
Further information on official fuel consumption figures and specific
CO2 emission values of new passenger cars is included in
the following guideline: ‘Leitfaden über den Kraftstoffverbrauch, die
CO2-Emissionen und den Stromverbrauch neuer
Personenkraftwagen’ (Guide to the fuel economy, CO2
emissions and electric power consumption of new passenger cars), which
