Overview

The 2020 BMW 8 Series makes for an excellent contender in the fullsize coupe class. With 2 trims on offer, the BMW 8 Series has a base MSRP of $87,900, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $90,800, competing directly with the Lexus LC 500, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe, and the Porsche 911 Carrera. Only a 3.0L twin-turbocharged Inline-6 engine is offered, mated to a 8-Speed Automatic transmission. Together, they produce 335 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, the 8 Series coupe maintains a combined fuel economy of 23 MPG. BMW offers the 8 Series in 10+ stunning colors, with the mineral white metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 2020 BMW 8 series coupe is available in 2 trim levels and our recommendation is the base trim. The base variant starts at MSRP $87,900 and offers plenty of options and packages to deck out the 8 series as per your preferences. From our side, we highly recommend Integral Active Steering Package, Comfort Seating Package, Driving Assistance Professional Package, and the optional Night Vision w/Pedestrian Detection feature.
