Is the BMW 8 Series All-Wheel Drive?
1 Answers
The BMW 8 Series is not entirely all-wheel drive (AWD); this model includes both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) versions. The AWD variants are equipped with an on-demand all-wheel-drive system. Below are detailed specifications of the BMW 8 Series: 1. The BMW 8 Series is a large GT sports car under the BMW brand, featuring a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine across all models, with the engine code B58. This engine delivers a maximum power output of 250 kW and a peak torque of 500 Nm, with the maximum power achieved between 5,000 to 6,500 rpm and the maximum torque available from 1,600 to 4,500 rpm. The engine incorporates direct fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission (8AT), known for its higher transmission efficiency, smoother gear shifts, and superior reliability and durability. 3. The BMW 8 Series employs a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The double-wishbone suspension is a structurally complex setup, featuring upper and lower control arms connected by a linkage. The multi-link suspension is essentially an evolution of the double-wishbone design, where the two control arms are replaced by individual links.
