Is the 8 Series a good car?

The 8 Series is a fast and luxurious vehicle that combines over-the-top comfort with effortless speed. The 8 Series was first introduced as an elegant two-door coupe in 1990, but discontinued in 1999. The model was brought back in 2018 based on the 7 Series platform.

Is the 8 Series expensive?

The 8 Series is a super luxury coupe that is available as a two-door, four-door Gran Coupe, and convertible body styles. The Gran Coupe four-door is the cheapest 8 Series available, and starts at $117,900, while removing two doors brings the cost to 119,900 for the coupe. When the top goes down, the price goes up to $128,900, and in-house tuning company Alpina also offers the B8 Gran Coupe for $159,900.

Is the 8 Series reliable?

Consumer Reports predicts that the 2022 8 Series will have about average reliability when compared with the average new car based on data from similar BMW models.

Does the 8 Series Come in AWD?

For the 2022 model year, all models of the BMW 8 Series feature all-wheel-drive powertrains. The wheels are also connected to the engine via either an 8-Speed Automatic transmission or a Sport Automatic w/Paddle Shifters.

Is the 8 Series Good on Gas?

Being a luxury sports coupe, comfort and speed are more important than ecology. However, with only one engine option, every model of the 8 Series has almost the same fuel economy, which is 9.6 L/100 km on the highway and 13.9 L/100 km in the city for Gran Coupe, Convertible, and Alpina B8 models, while the Coupe gets slightly better mileage at 9.3 L/100 km highway and 13.5 L/100 km city.

How fast is the 8 Series?

With a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged four-cylinder, the base model 8 Series Gran Coupe is an impressive performer with a 0-100 time of just 4.0 seconds, a number shared with the Convertible. The two-door coupe model drops the sprint time to 3.8 seconds, and the fastest that an 8 Series gets before the M8 is the Alpina B8, which can reach 100km/h in just 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 324 km/h (201 mph).
