DESIGN
The design of the BMW 8 Series Coupé
A fascinating sight: the BMW 8 Series Coupé exudes sportiness with its luxurious appearance and supreme aspiration to perform. Every design element, such as the Active Air Stream kidney grille, the M Carbon roof and the exclusive glass application ‘Crafted Clarity’ combine comfortable high-tech features with the dynamic elegance of this luxury sports car.
Active Air Stream kidney grille
The Active Air Stream kidney grille opens and closes the air vents in the radiator grille according to the cooling requirements of the engine, the brakes and the air conditioning. At the same time, the system’s movable slats reduce air resistance when closed, thereby improving aerodynamics.
BMW Laserlight
In laser high-beam mode, BMW Laserlight illuminates a range of up to 600 m, nearly twice as far as that of conventional headlights. Better visibility in the dark significantly increases safety. Blue accents and the lettering "BMW Laser" in the headlight also underline the technological standards and the sportiness of the vehicle.
M carbon-fibre roof
As part of the intelligent lightweight construction concept, the M carbon-fibre roof significantly helps to reduce the vehicle's weight. It consists of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) and is 800 g lighter than the standard roof. That way, the centre of gravity of the vehicle is shifted downwards and the driving dynamics are increased.
Exterior elements
The exterior elements such as mirror caps, logos, tailpipes, air breather panels, kidney grill and kidney slats are held in contrast to the Galvanic Cerium Grey vehicle colour. They fit harmoniously into the dynamic overall appearance and emphasise the sporty appearance of the vehicle.
Multifunction seats for driver and front passenger
The Multifunction seats for driver and front passenger offer comprehensive adjustment possibilities and exceptional seating comfort and safety. This way, the seats can be optimally adapted to personal requirements by an electric backrest width adjustment, a variable lumbar support and a manual seat depth adjustment.
Ambient light
The ambient light produces, through numerous LED lights, a pleasant lighting mood in the interior and a special sense of space in the dark. Colours, brightness and colour scenarios can be adjusted individually. The equipment includes contour and map pocket lighting as well as light guides in the centre console.
'CraftedClarity' glass application
The exclusive 'CraftedClarity' glass application features hand-crafted glass elements on the gear selector, volume control, iDrive controller and start / stop button that enhance the interior visibly and tactually
