BMW rises its 8 Series to the occasion.
They say you should never mess with a good thing. But what if it’s dead-set great? Or iconic? Well, in that case, you really don’t want to stuff it up. Which is probably how BMW feels of its second generation of the 8 Series. When it was first launched back in the 90s, the 8 Series caught the attention of the automotive world as a luxurious sports coupe with rigorous engineering expertise that took the ultimate driving machine up to eleven. Unfortunately, the car was discontinued in 1999 due to poor sales with a mere 30,000 units sold, to be exact.
Two decades on, the 8 Series comes back, shining as brightly as ever. Revised and improved, but still very much a product of the base car’s DNA, the new BMW M850i xDrive Coupe is a spectacular machine. It packages up a solid formula where the already beautiful car is given a personality change. The elegant tourer has transformed into something more sinister and sculpted, with broad shoulders and 20-inch alloy wheels filling the swollen arches. A car that looks bad in a good way, it makes fellow road users slow down and stare – you get the drift.
