The BMW 8 Series has always represented the grand touring peak of the Bavarian brand, blending long distance comfort with serious performance. First launched in 1989 as the E31, it brought futuristic styling, pop up headlights, advanced aerodynamics and available V12 power, making it one of the most technically ambitious BMWs of its era. Today, the modern 8 Series continues that tradition in Coupe, Convertible and Gran Coupe forms, with refined interiors, xDrive traction on selected models, adaptive suspension and powerful turbocharged engines, including the muscular M850i and the track sharpened M8.

For enthusiasts, the 8 Series is more than a luxury cruiser. The original E31 was one of the first production cars to offer an electronic drive by wire throttle, while the rare 850CSi is often regarded as an unofficial M car thanks to its Motorsport developed V12. Its wedge shaped profile and high speed touring ability helped it become a poster car of the 1990s, and its modern successor has carried that cultural cachet into the executive performance market. Whether parked at a coastal resort or stretching its legs on an open highway, the 8 Series has a presence few coupes can match.
