2 Answers
BMW 8 Series has a displacement of 3.0 liters. More information about the BMW 8 Series is as follows: 1. The BMW 8 Series is a large coupe under the BMW brand, available in hardtop coupe, convertible, and four-door hardtop versions. 2. The BMW 8 Series is equipped with a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine, codenamed B58B30C. This engine has a maximum power of 250 kW, with a power band between 5,000 and 6,500 rpm, and a maximum torque of 500 Nm, available from 1,600 to 4,500 rpm. The engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
The displacement of the BMW 8 Series varies significantly depending on the model. I've driven it a few times—for example, the common 840i features a 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbocharged engine with a cylinder capacity of 2998cc, delivering smooth and fuel-efficient performance for daily driving, with city fuel consumption around 8-9L/100km. If you're after higher performance, the M850i packs a 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbo, displacing 4395cc and outputting over 500 horsepower. The acceleration is exhilarating, with thrust so strong it pins you into the seat! However, fuel consumption also skyrockets, exceeding 10L even on highways. Displacement determines an engine's "capacity," balancing horsepower and fuel efficiency—choose based on your driving habits. For frequent city driving, the six-cylinder is recommended, while the V8 is more thrilling for occasional speed bursts. BMW's tuning is precise; even the 3.0-liter feels powerful, making highway overtaking effortless.
