New BMW 8 Series for Sale near Washington
With multiple body styles and a perfect balance of luxury and sportiness, the BMW 8 Series is an overachiever.
The BMW 8 Series is the third element of BMW’s flagship trinity. Just as the 7 Series is the top sedan in BMW’s lineup, and the X7 is the top SUV, the 8 Series lords over lesser coupes and convertibles in the BMW hierarchy.
The 8 Series nameplate dates back to 1990, when BMW launched the first generation in the form of a wedge-shaped coupe with pop-up headlights. After that version—known as the E31—went out of production, the 8 Series took a long hiatus, returning in its current G15 form for the 2019 model year.
The 2023 BMW 8 Series gets some small updates for the new model year, including exterior styling tweaks and an enlarged touchscreen. More paint color and wheel design options round out what’s new.
The lineup remains unchanged, however, consisting of 840i, 840i xDrive, M850i xDrive, and high-performance M8 Competition variants in coupe, convertible, and four-door Gran Coupe body styles. An Alpina B8 version of the Gran Coupe (launched for the 2021 model year) also returns. We tested an 840i Gran Coupe for this review.
4.7 Overall rating
(87 reviews)Customers say
The BMW 8 Series has impressed owners across its model years with its blend of sporty performance, luxurious design, and advanced technology. Drivers appreciate the powerful engines and robust handling, making for an exhilarating ride. However, some have pointed out that interior quality can feel basic for a luxury car and that maintenance costs can be high, especially for the older V12 models. Overall, it’s celebrated for its styling and driving experience, but potential owners should be prepared for some drawbacks in terms of space and upkeep costs.
