📖BMW 8 Series Convertible G14 LCI: refined open-top luxury requiring vigilant roof and driveline maintenance

BMW 8 Series Convertible (G14 LCI, facelift 2022) (2022-Présent)

Introduced in 2022, the facelifted BMW 8 Series Convertible G14 LCI refreshed Munich's prestige drop-top with subtle yet effective enhancements. Featuring an illuminated Iconic Glow kidney grille, an enlarged 12.3-inch central infotainment display and upgraded standard equipment, it reaffirmed its status as a premier luxury grand tourer. Keeping this prestigious convertible performing impeccably demands thorough BMW 8 Series maintenance, particularly regarding roof care and drivetrain fluid renewals.

Under the bonnet, choices include the 840d xDrive featuring 48V mild-hybrid assistance on the B57 diesel, the silken 840i B58 straight-six petrol, and the thunderous M850i xDrive with the 530 hp N63 twin-turbo V8. All engines are coupled to the refined ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox and rear-biased xDrive. The multi-layer acoustic soft-top roof provides coupe-like insulation, while active roll stabilisation and adaptive M suspension maintain supreme composure.
