BMW 8 Series model family complete +++ Sixth vehicle launch this year +++ Position as leading unit of the luxury class strengthened
Dingolfing. At the BMW Group's Dingolfing plant, the new BMW M8 Gran Coupé rolled off the production line for the first time at the beginning of November. As the sixth model variant, the BMW M8 Gran Coupé completes the BMW 8 Series family and at the same time continues the BMW Group's model offensive in the luxury segment. As a competition model, the four-door high-performance sports car is powered by the most powerful engine ever developed for BMW M automobiles. The 4.4-litre eight-cylinder engine produces 625 hp and offers outstanding dynamic performance.
The BMW M8 Gran Coupé is characterised by its independent proportions, dynamically stretched silhouette and gently flowing roof line at the rear. Compared to the two-door model variants, the wheelbase has been extended by 200 millimetres, resulting in a significantly improved level of comfort in two full-fledged rear seats. The BMW Group's Dingolfing plant produces up to 60 units of the BMW M8 model family per day. A good 40 percent of the production volume is accounted for by the Gran Coupé.
"With the new BMW M8 Gran Coupé, the location has once again proven what it is capable of. After five successful ramp-ups in 2019, we have once again strengthened our position at the top of our model portfolio and strengthened our position as the leading unit of the luxury class. All employees can be proud of this," says Christoph Schröder, Head of the BMW Group Dingolfing Plant.
The new BMW M8 Gran Coupé will celebrate its world premiere in just a few days at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The regular market launch of the BMW M8 Gran Coupé and the BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupé will take place in January 2020. A special series limited to 400 units will also be available from April next year. A highlight of the BMW M8 Gran Coupé First Edition is the BMW Individual special paint finish Aurora Diamond Green metallic and the BMW Iconic Laser Light in penetrating yellow.
