Forget about electrification, even mild hybrid technology. The 8 Series coupe and convertible rely on gas-only powertrains. The turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 generates 523 horsepower in M850i xDrive trim, 617 horsepower in M8 Competition trim and 612 horsepower in the Alpina-tuned B8 Gran Coupe. All models feature an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive as standard. With sharp handling enhanced by four-wheel steering, there’s always fun to be had behind the wheel.
