New BMW 8 Series: Behind the Wheel

The Munich design team has outdone themselves – again. The new BMW 8 Series is refined and elegant with a powerful, aggressive twist. This is the car for people who love to drive. Or those who want to fall back in love with driving. Either way, the 8 is poised to meet your highest expectations. 

According to a BMW 8 Series review by Tatler, this Beemer can take on the powerhouse Mercedes S Class Coupe and Porsche Panamera. It is, they say, a “BMW that looks like a driver’s car” and seamlessly combines power, performance, and comfort.

The 8 is available only in the M850i xDrive trim in your choice of coupe or convertible. A powerful 4.4 liter V8 churns out 523 horses and 553 lb-ft of torque, and the eight-speed automatic transmission offers a seamless driving experience. You’ll find outstanding power and grip – do take it out on those winding roads – plenty of speed, and significantly reduced wind and road noise.

One great feature is that the new BMW 8 Series offers ample room for weekend adventure gear. The trunk offers 15 cubic feet of space, and you can fold the rear seat backs down as well to increase it even more. That said, the back seats are not designed for luxurious comfort. In fact, we’d rather not ride back there. They’ll do, of course, in a pinch, but the 8 is very much designed for the driver – and one passenger!

You will also find the latest version of iDrive, Apple CarPlay, advanced safety features, and driver friendly assistive features.

The new BMW 8 Series is a stunning addition to the Bimmer family. Visit Braman BMW in Jupiter, Florida to learn more about this exceptional driving machine.
