Product Overview

BMW 8 Series G15 is a large coupe in production from 2018. It is available with a range of inline-6 and V8 engines that displaced 3.0 to 4.4 liters.

Compared to the original 8 Series, the G15 is but a rebadged 6 Series successor. It lacks elegance and the V12 found in the E31. The amount of plastics found in it also does not bode well for its long-term reliability and collectibility.

BMW has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the BMW 8 Series G15 comes with double-wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear.

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:

The M850i's performance margin is something only a few owners will ever use. The calmer 3.0-litre, 316bhp 840d can still lay down a 4.9sec 0-62mph time. At 4.8 metres long, the 840d takes up as much road as a big saloon.

Pros

Powerful diesel engine
Comfortable to drive
Decent standard equipment

Cons

No adaptive damping or active anti-roll

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:

Would it beat a Porsche Panamera, Audi A7 Sportback or Mercedes S-Class Coupe for material lavishness, perceived quality or avant-garde technological appeal? I’m not so sure. This is a seriously fast car that would give up very little on real-world pace even to full-fat AMGs and lesser Aston Martin DB11s. The steering’s somewhat short on both front-end contact patch feel and on-centre stability.

Pros

Gorgeous interior
Excellent infotainment system

Cons

Noisy V8
Not as agile as some rivals

The BMW 8 Series is offered as a two-door Coupe, a four-door Gran Coupe version with an extended wheelbase and a Convertible. There are three available versions of each body style: the 840i sDrive with 335bhp, the 316bhp diesel 840d xDrive and the M850i xDrive, with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo engine offering well in excess of 500bhp. For those wanting to crank up the performance there are 616bhp M Competition models. All 8 Series get an eight-speed automatic gearbox and all bar the840i feature xDrive four-wheel drive.

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:

BMW's latest all-rounder takes the form of a front-engined, four-wheel-drive four-seater. Its wheelbase is 123mm shorter than the S-Class Coupe's, but 17mm longer than a DB11's. All models get a slick eight-speed automatic transmission. Eventually a hot M8 will join the range – likely using the same engine as the current M5.

Pros

Cons

No Android Auto compatibility

Reviewers from carwow have found the following***:

The BMW 8 Series is a sumptuous grand tourer with a luxurious interior, four seats and a surprising turn of speed. Go for a range-topping M850i model, and this BMW has the pace to take on the likes of the V8 Aston Martin DB11, the Bentley Continental GT and the Lexus LC. There's ample space in the front for very tall drivers to stretch out and you even get a pair of back seats as standard.

Pros

Terrific infotainment system
Comfortable to drive

Cons

Lack of practicality
Raucous V8
