The new BMW 8 Series and the new BMW M8 models were presented to the public there for the first time at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance 2022.

The two models were unveiled in conjunction with BMW M division’s 50th anniversary.

For the new BMW 8 Series, the M sports package is now standard in all model variants.

The 8-cylinder models also feature aerodynamically optimised exterior mirrors in the style of the BMW M8 as standard.

In the interior of all models in the new BMW 8 Series, their equally dynamic and exclusive character is underscored with an extended range of standard equipment including multifunction seats, an M leather steering wheel and other M-specific design features.

Optimised ease of use is ensured by the standard BMW Live Cockpit Professional with a Control Display that has now increased in size to 12.3 inches.

The BMW M8 Competition on the other hand, now comes with new exterior paint finishes and M light-alloy wheels, the M Shadow Line lights available for the first time and an additional interior trim variant.

The operating system of the new BMW M8 models now also includes a 12.3-inch Control Display with touch function.

Powered by a 625 hp V8 engine featuring M TwinPower Turbo technology and high-revving characteristics, the new M8 model range also includes a flap-controlled M sports exhaust system, BMW laser light headlights, the BMW Head-Up Display with M-specific display elements and a full Merino or Alcantara leather interior.

“The luxury sports cars of the new BMW 8 Series occupy a prominent position in BMW’s model range. We are delighted to be able to debut these exceptional models at one of the most prestigious automotive events in America,” said Sebastian Mackensen, Head of BMW Group Region Americas.
