BMW decided to make cosmetic changes to the styling of the 8-series. The first thing that catches the eye is the illuminated grille, referring to the X6 model.
All in all, these are literally cosmetic changes. Customers who decide to go with the Facelift 8 series will receive revised air intakes, a new color scheme and an updated range of rims. Additionally, the M850i ?? gain aerodynamic M mirrors and the option to display the BMW Motorsport logo on the bonnet, boot and classic wheels in honor of BMW M’s 50th anniversary.
Changes have also been made to the cabin, but they are almost imperceptible. The multimedia screen has been enlarged to 12.5 inches. So far, a 10.25 inch screen has been mounted.
BMW has decided to cancel the regular M8 and will only offer the M8 Competition version. For the most part, the changes are the same as in the standard Series 8. Only the grill should be more aggressive.
Elsewhere there are new M Shadowline inserts in the headlights and new M Carbon bucket seats. They feature heating and power controls and illuminated “M8” badges on the headrests. Buyers will also find revised upholstery, as well as Alcantara on the dashboard and upper door panels.
Power is provided by a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 engine that develops 625 hp and 749 torque nm. It is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and M xDrive all-wheel drive, which allows vehicle acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in about 3 seconds.
