- BMW presents the redefinition of the sports car. The new BMW 8
Series Coupe combines imposing lateral and longitudinal dynamic
performance with poise, assurance and luxury over long distances.
The new BMW 8 Series Coupe opens a further chapter in the brand’s
successful sports car history and kicks off the premium
manufacturer’s model initiative in the luxury segment. - An unrivalled combination of inspiring sportiness and contemporary
luxury, assured long-distance comfort and innovative user-operation,
driver assistance and connectivity technology. - Market launch in November 2018 with two model variants: The
BMW M850i xDrive Coupe M Performance model with new, 390 kW/530 hp
V8 engine (fuel consumption combined: 10.5 – 10.0 l/100 km [26.9 –
28.3 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 240 – 228 g/km)*
and BMW 840d xDrive Coupe with six-cylinder in-line diesel unit
developing 235 kW/320 hp (fuel consumption combined: 6.2 – 5.9 l/100
km [45.6 – 47.9 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined:
164 – 154 g/km)*. Power transfer in both cases is via a further
developed eight-speed Steptronic transmission. Both engines comply
with exhaust emission standard EU6d-TEMP. - Body structure, drive technology and suspension focus squarely on
achieving the elite dynamic performance expected of a top-class
sports car. Development parallel to the BMW M8 and the BMW M8 GTE
endurance racer. Low centre of gravity, well-balanced weight
distribution, lightweight construction using aluminium, magnesium
and carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP), aerodynamically
optimised and virtually lift-free body, powerful engines, sports
exhaust system, rear axle differential lock, extremely stiff body
and suspension structure. Adaptive M suspension, Integral Active
Steering and mixed-size tyres come as standard. Active roll
stabilisation optionally available for the BMW M850i xDrive Coupe. - Emotionally powerful styling with new, pared-back design language,
elegantly flowing lines, low-slung body, long bonnet, heavily
tapered glasshouse, powerful shoulderline, distinctive
“double-bubble” roof contouring, long rear window widening towards

lines and surfaces direct the eye forward onto the road. Clearly
structured arrangement of controls underscores the focus on the
driver and the importance attached to delivering a sporty and
dynamic driving experience. High-grade materials, sophisticated
interior lighting, trim surfaces rising from the centre console to
the instrument panel. Fulled leather trim as standard for the
instrument panel and door shoulders. - High-quality options for contemporary luxury: telephony with

Surround Sound System and glass applications for specific control elements. - Low seating position on redesigned sports seats, Vernasca leather
trim as standard. Two rear seats also have a low seating position,
rendering headrests unnecessary. Automatic boot lid operation also
standard; luggage capacity: 420 litres. 50 : 50 spilt/folding rear
seat backrest for increased stowage space. - M Sport package with specific design and equipment features that
additionally emphasise the car’s dynamic character: generously
dimensioned air intakes, 19-inch M light-alloy wheels, M Sport
braking system, multifunction seats, M leather steering wheel,
illuminated door sills with M logo. The BMW M Performance model
comes with features including 20-inch M light-alloy wheels and

Turbo technology including multi-stage turbocharging and common-rail
direct injection with piezo injectors and maximum pressure of 2,500
bar. Optimised emissions thanks to exhaust gas recirculation; Diesel
particulate filter, NOx adsorption catalyst and SCR catalyst. - Driving Experience Control switch including ADAPTIVE mode. Clearly
perceptible set-up differentiation between COMFORT and ECO Pro modes
at one end of the spectrum and SPORT and SPORT+ modes at the other.
Neatly judged management of powertrain and suspension systems
enables clear focus on dynamic performance, as well as effortless
handling in urban traffic and a high level of long-distance comfort. - Standard equipment includes new BMW Operating System 7.0 display

*All performance, fuel consumption and emissions figures are provisional.
* The fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, power consumption and operating
range 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 and the range shown
considers the different sizes of the selected wheels/tyres and the
selected items of optional equipment.
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 for the vehicles marked * are already based on
the new WLTP test cycle and have been 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).
The CO2 efficiency specifications are determined
according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the latest version of
the Pkw-EnVKV, and based (for classification) on the fuel
consumption and CO2 values as per the NEDC cycle.
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

fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and electric
power consumption of new passenger cars), which can be
