2019 BMW 8 Series M850i xDrive

2019 BMW M850i xDrive Coupe 2D – The Rebirth of a Luxury Icon
The 2019 BMW M850i xDrive marks the triumphant return of the 8 Series flagship, standing as a pinnacle of performance, prestige, and grand touring luxury. This is a vehicle designed for those who demand the speed of a supercar and the opulence of an executive suite. As an M-Performance model, it bridges the gap between a refined cruiser and a track-capable weapon, offering a commanding presence that is unmatched in the luxury coupe segment.
Under the hood, the M850i is powered by a ferocious 4.4-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine, delivering a staggering 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a lightning-fast 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission and BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system, this beast rockets from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 3.6 seconds. The power delivery is immediate and relentless, accompanied by a deep, guttural V8 soundtrack that can be intensified via the flap-controlled sport exhaust system.
The driving experience is a masterclass in chassis technology. Built with a 'Carbon Core' structure for maximum rigidity and weight savings, the M850i features Integral Active Steering (rear-wheel steering) as standard, allowing this large coupe to feel incredibly nimble at low speeds and rock-solid at high speeds. The Adaptive M Suspension Professional with Active Roll Stabilization ensures the car stays flat through aggressive cornering while providing a plush, isolated ride during long-distance highway hauls.
On the exterior, the 2019 M850i is a work of aerodynamic art. It features an elongated, low-slung silhouette with a 'double-bubble' roofline and a massive, aggressive kidney grille. Standard equipment includes 20-inch M V-spoke wheels, blue M Sport brakes, and the revolutionary BMW Laserlight technology with icon-adaptive LED headlights. Its wide haunches and sharp character lines give it a muscular stance that commands attention from every angle.
Inside, the cabin is a sanctuary of high-tech luxury and exquisite craftsmanship, offering:
Multi-functional ventilated and heated M Sport seats in Extended Merino Leather
The BMW Live Cockpit Professional with a 12.3-inch digital cluster and 10.25-inch central display
Exclusive glass controls for the gear shifter, iDrive controller, and start button
16-speaker Harman Kardon® Surround Sound System (or available Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround)
Practicality is prioritized for the grand touring lifestyle. While it is a focused two-door coupe, the trunk offers a surprisingly deep 14.8 cubic feet of space—plenty for a set of golf clubs or premium luggage for a coastal weekend trip. The 50/50 split-folding rear seats provide extra versatility, and the soft-close automatic doors add a final touch of executive convenience to every entry and exit.
Performance and efficiency are balanced by BMW’s EfficientDynamics, achieving approximately 18 MPG city / 25 MPG highway. With its large 18-gallon fuel tank and effortless cruising capability, the M850i is the ultimate long-distance machine, designed to cross continents—or the state of Georgia—in record time and absolute comfort.
Safety is paramount, featuring BMW’s most advanced Driver Assistance systems. The 2019 model comes standard with Frontal Collision Warning, City Collision Mitigation, and Lane Departure Warning. The available Driving Assistance Professional package adds semi-autonomous capabilities like Extended Traffic Jam Assistant, making heavy Atlanta traffic significantly more manageable.
The 2019 BMW M850i xDrive Coupe is more than just a car; it is a statement of engineering excellence. It is the ideal choice for the individual who wants the very best of everything: supercar acceleration, flagship luxury, and the legendary heritage of the BMW 8 Series.
Commanding. Ferocious. Absolute Luxury. ??
