The new BMW 8 Series Convertible.

 

  • Exterior and interior design work together harmoniously. Gently
    rising shoulderline; surrounds for the side windows and soft-top
    lid merge. Front and rear seats embraced in a flowing movement.
    Sophisticated design for soft-top compartment with subtle domes
    and surfacing that takes its cues from the instrument panel and
    door shoulders.

 

  • Market launch in March 2019 with two model variants: BMW M850i
    xDrive Convertible (fuel consumption combined: 10.0 – 9.9 l/100 km
    [28.3 – 28.5 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 229 –
    225 g/km)* with 390 kW/530 hp V8 engine and BMW 840d xDrive
    Convertible (fuel consumption combined: 6.3 – 5.9 l/100 km [44.8 –
    47.9 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 165 – 155 g/km)*
    with six-cylinder in-line diesel engine and 235 kW/320 hp. Both
    engine variants meet Euro 6d-TEMP exhaust standard. Power transfer

    intelligent all-wheel drive.

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).

 

Effective: 02.11.2018
