BMW 8 Series Specs, Engines & Dimensions (from 2022) — Second Generation Restyling 1
The facelifted second-generation BMW 8 Series offers Cabrio, Coupe and Sedan bodies with different everyday priorities. You can choose open-air driving, a classic coupe shape or easier rear-seat access, then consider which powertrain and equipment suit your journeys.
BMW 8 Series engine choices include gasoline and diesel options. Among the Cabrio examples, the diesel 840d xDrive and gasoline 840i xDrive combine automatic transmissions with all-wheel drive, while the gasoline 840i 3.0 AT uses rear-wheel drive. Diesel generally suits sustained longer journeys; all-wheel drive helps traction when accelerating on slippery surfaces.
BMW 8 Series trim levels describe equipment choices alongside the technical version. M Superior is an equipment configuration for the gasoline, automatic, rear-wheel-drive 840i 3.0 AT Coupe. When choosing a car, check its fitted comfort features and driver assistance equipment, as the engine designation alone does not establish what is included.
