The engine displacement of the BMW 8 Series is 3.0 liters. The entire lineup is equipped with a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine, codenamed B58, with a maximum torque of 500 Nm. The maximum power is achieved at 5,000 to 6,500 rpm, and the maximum torque is available from 1,600 to 4,500 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission (8AT). The BMW 8 Series is a large GT sports car under the BMW brand, with dimensions of 5,088 mm in length, 1,932 mm in width, and 1,410 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3,023 mm. The headlights feature a smoked treatment inside, with dual L-shaped LED daytime running lights in BMW's new design style, combined with the upper light eyebrows. Both the low and high beams use LED light sources, with an optional laser headlight function available for an extended illumination range.
The BMW 8 Series offers a variety of engine displacement options. My car is the 840i version, equipped with a 3.0-liter inline-six engine, which delivers responsive acceleration. The city fuel consumption is around 9 liters per 100 km, dropping to about 7 liters on the highway, making it quite economical. The more powerful M850i or M8 models are even more impressive, featuring a 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbo engine with a whopping 523 horsepower, delivering exhilarating acceleration, though at the cost of higher fuel consumption—around 12 liters per 100 km even on highways. BMW's engine tuning has always emphasized balance, combining efficient combustion technology for smooth power delivery and excellent noise control, ensuring comfort on long trips. I recommend test-driving different models to experience the responsiveness of various engine sizes. Remember, maintenance is crucial—regular oil changes and cooling system checks are essential for long-term engine stability. Overall, the 8 Series' engine configurations make driving a joy, paired with luxurious interiors, suitable for daily commutes or weekend getaways.
