2024 BMW 8 SERIES

by BMW of Catonsville

Overview

With its eye-catching fastback style and perfect partnership of sports and elegance, the 2024 BMW 8 Series continues to leave its mark on the luxury car segment. The BMW 8 Series has 3 body types: Coupe, Gran Coupe, and Convertible. Each core model is offered as either the rear-drive 840i or the all-wheel drive 840i xDrive and multiple other variants, including BMW's M series versions. Part of the allure of the 8 Series is the scarcity of large, grand-touring two-door luxury sports cars on the market, giving the 8 Series only a few competitors. Buyers in the market for a 2024 BMW 8 Series will notice high-end materials used throughout, with luxury comfort seating and plenty of legroom in the front seats. While rear seats will find the space cozier, those wanting more legroom can opt for the Gran Coupe model.

Who's It For?

The 2024 BMW 8 Series is suited for buyers in the market for a luxury vehicle with all the characteristics of a sports car. The 8 Series offers ample legroom for front passengers and has room for rear passengers, a feature not always found in sports cars. But the 2024 8 Series isn't just another sports car. This vehicle is every bit as luxurious as its luxury sedan counterparts. The 8 Series will also appeal to those who appreciate a lavishly appointed vehicle, with elegant finishes and ample use of leather throughout the interior.

Real World Performance

BMW's 8 Series comes out of the gate with two capable engines for 2024, both partnering with an eight-speed sport automatic transmission with Sport and Manual shift modes and the expected steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters with launch control. Buyers have their choice of rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, depending on which model they prefer. The 8 Series base engine is a 3.0-liter turbocharged I-6 that delivers 335 hp and 368 lb.-ft. of torque.

While the 8 Series isn't lightweight, the base engine has no hesitation in moving the vehicle comfortably down the roadway. It will go from 0 to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds. Although athletic in its handling, the 2024 BMW 8 Series delivers a comfortable, smooth-as-silk ride thanks to twin-tube gas-pressure shock absorbers and Integral-V multi-link aluminum rear suspension. Expect the 8 Series to corner comfortably and brake confidently. For added safety, the BMW's 8 Series offers BMW's Active Protection System which detects imminent accidents, then prepares to protect the car's occupants by automatically pre-tensioning safety belts, closing any open windows or moonroof, and then activating post-crash braking, all designed to improve a crash outcome.
