2022 BMW 8 Series Review and Specifications – Pricing, Competitors

The 840i models come standard with a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six that makes 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. All models are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The base models come standard with rear-wheel drive and an optional all-wheel-drive upgrade, while the two M850i models are all-wheel-drive only. The M850i xDrive models come standard with a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that makes 523 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. Moreover, the 8-series keeps its grand-touring heritage with a quiet, peaceful ride and eye-popping athleticism. The steering is straightforward, and the ride is as smooth as ever, eliminating any road imperfections. The adaptive dampers allow extra flexibility during cornering, even in the stiffest drive mode setting. A firm pedal and powerful brake system enhance the driver's confidence in this sleek-looking lineup.

The 2022 BMW 8 series has a luxurious, comfortable and spacious interior. The car's cabin has ample headroom and legroom for the front passengers. Although it does come with a pair of rear seats, they are unfortunately not very comfortable for adults for an extended period. Every model has soft-close automatic doors, power-adjustable heated front seats, and customizable lighting. The seats are upholstered in premium leather, and the dashboard features a sleek, modern design and the car's state-of-the-art infotainment system. There is plenty of storage space for cargo, including a large trunk with enough room for several suitcases. Overall the 2022 BMW 8 series interior is an absolute masterpiece - in our opinion one of the best designed on the market.

The 2022 BMW 8 series is jam-packed with high-tech features, including a top-of-the-line infotainment and connectivity system. As with most luxury cars, the 8-series comes standard with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 10.3-inch touchscreen. The infotainment system itself is user-friendly, but the instrument panel can be a bit overcrowded and challenging to operate with steering-wheel controls. The classic BMW rotary knob on the center console is one of many ways to interact with the infotainment system, and we found it to be the most intuitive and easy-to-use option. Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, and a WiFi hotspot all come standard, but Android Auto is not included.

The new BMW 8-series is loaded with advanced safety features that help keep drivers and passengers safe. Some of these features include a head-up display, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and a surround-view camera system. The 8-series also comes with various driver-assistance features to make driving more accessible and comfortable. These features include a power trunk lid, park distance control, and a Gesture Control system.

The warranty and maintenance coverage for the 2022 BMW 8 Series is excellent. The car comes with a four-year or 50,000-mile warranty, whichever comes first. It also has 24-hour roadside assistance for the duration of the warranty. Maintenance is required every two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first, and includes an oil change, inspection, and tire rotation.
