BMW 8 Coupé

We waited a long time and in the end we only got to see it, the BMW 8. We have been teased with the revival of the BMW 8 Series for a long time, most notably at the Geneva Motor Show, when we were presented with its concept version. After all, we only have a newbie in front of us and it will take quite some time to understand how 'bad' he actually is.

BMW 8 Coupé it has a top-notch design, but we could conclude that already at the presentation of the concept. But still, it was hard to imagine what the final version would be. This one is finally in front of us and it is absolutely wonderful. The BMW 8 Coupé has elongated and low the front part on which stand out the so-called 'kidneys'. Long cover of the engine is continued in elongated roof, which slowly descends towards the rear. They stand out there large trapezoidal exhaust pipe fittings. LED headlights will be part of the standard equipment of the BMW 8 Coupé, but they can be upgraded to laser. If you are a more dynamic type of driver and would like to keep the weight of the car as low as possible, you can choose from accessories from carbon and accessories from carbon reinforced plastics. The mirror caps, rear spoiler, air intakes and rear diffuser will be made of these materials.

Inside, the new BMW 8 Coupé will welcome you with 10.3-inch instrument digital display, next to which is also installed 12.3-inch the screen through which the infotainment system and various settings are managed. As we are used to at BMW, top-quality sound will be available this time as well Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System, space for wireless charging of electronic devices, stainless steel inserts and even glass buttons and switches.
