Launched in 2019, the BMW 8 Series Convertible G14 marked Munich's triumphant return to the full-size luxury grand touring convertible sector. Combining a multi-layer fabric soft top with a rigid aluminium, magnesium and carbon-reinforced chassis, it was designed for fast, effortless long-distance cruising. Enjoying this open-air luxury express throughout the British seasons requires structured BMW 8 Series maintenance, particularly concerning the folding roof mechanism and high-performance running gear.
The engine lineup comprised the frugal 840d xDrive powered by the B57 straight-six diesel, the smooth rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive 840i with the B58 petrol, and the storming M850i xDrive featuring the 530 hp N63B44T3 twin-turbo V8. Power is sent via the responsive ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox. The chassis features standard adaptive M suspension, active steering and intelligent xDrive, while the multi-layer soft-top roof opens or closes in just 15 seconds.
