2020 BMW 8 Series Review

Let’s jump in and explore what it’s like to drive the 8 Series around Portsmouth and Exeter. If a luxury experience is what you’re looking for, then you’ll want to turn your attention toward this BMW.
BMW 8 Series Performance Specs
Each 8 Series model features a powerful 3.0L V6 engine that delivers 335 horsepower. This engine combines a twin-scroll turbocharger with variable valve control to deliver precise performance every time you take the wheel. This powerful V6 is mated to an 8-speed sport automatic transmission, which features sport and manual shift modes.
The steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters deliver an air of confidence to every drive because they put you in control of gear changes. You may want a bit of extra power while you’re out on the highway, and now, you can have it.
Available in every 8 Series is the xDrive all-wheel drive system. This can come in handy for those snowy New Hampshire roads when you’re looking for that peace of mind on your next trek. This all-wheel drive system offers better grip on the road in winter weather and ensures outstanding handling when taking tight turns.
BMW 8 Series Tech Features
Get the advanced features you’re looking for in the 8 Series, all in the name of having a smarter drive. The Live Cockpit Professional boasts a large 12.3-inch instrument cluster that provides you with important vehicle data and information. There’s also a 10.25-inch central information display screen, which is powered by the BMW iDrive 7.0 system.
That system can be operated by your voice, touchscreen, or the iDrive touchpad controller, giving you three unique ways to interact with this technology.
The 3-spoke leather-wrapped sport steering wheel can help get you to your destination (that’s obvious). It can also make your life easier, with controls for the audio system, cruise control, and Bluetooth® wireless communication located right on the wheel itself.

If you like choice, the 8 Series is the car for you. There’s the 8 Series Coupe, a sleek and effective sedan that’s quick off the starting line and captures attention with its active kidney grille design.
The Grand Coupe is a larger sedan, and it comes with a standard panoramic moonroof that lets the light and fresh air in for a more spacious feel. If you really want to let that light and fresh air in, then the 8 Series Convertible is for you. Enjoy top-down freedom while making the 8 Series your own.
Regardless of the 8 Series you select, a luxurious experience awaits, with full Merino leather seats giving the cabin a refined, elegant feel.
