BMW has announced the US pricing details of the
all-new M850i xDrive, which is set to hit the company’s showrooms on December
8. The BMW 8-Series returns after two decades in the form of the new
M850i xDrive which is priced from US$ 112,985, including a US$ 995 destination and
handling fee.
BMW has fitted the M850i with an impressively long
list of features as standard, including Full LED headlights with BMW LaserLight
technology, BMW Individual Merino Leather upholstery, sixteen-speaker Harman
Kardon audio system, Sport Automatic Transmission, Adaptive M Suspension with
Active-Roll Stabilization, M Sport Brakes, Parking Assistant and BMW Live
Cockpit Professional with 12.3 inch and 10.25 inch digital displays.
Options for the all-new 2019 BMW M850i include the
Driving Assistant Professional, a 1,400-watt Bowers & Wilkins Diamond
Surround Sound system, glass controls for the gear selector, iDrive controller,
start/stop button and audio volume knob and a carbon fiber roof. BMW will also
offer a carbon fiber exterior trim package, which includes carbon inlays for
the front and rear bumpers, large diffuser blades in the rear, and carbon
mirror caps and rear spoiler.
Power comes from the company’s new twin-turbo
4.4-liter V8 that makes 523 hp and 750 Nm of peak torque from
1,800 rpm. The engine sends its power to all four wheels via an improved
eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. The added grip of the all-wheel
drive also makes the new M850i a really fast car, with BMW claiming a 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds.
As mentioned above, the new 2019 BMW 8-Series will
arrive in the US market this December.
