Expert 2023 BMW M850 review

Our expert's take
By Cars.com Editors
Full article

What Is the 2023 BMW 8 Series?

The BMW 8 Series is a high-end luxury car offered in three body styles — coupe, convertible and four-door Gran Coupe — with seating for four or five, depending on body style. The 840i is powered by a 335-horsepower, turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, while the M850i and M8 variants get turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8s rated at 523 and 617 hp, respectively. The Alpina B8 Gran Coupe has a 612-hp, turbo 4.4-liter V-8.

An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard, and rear- and all-wheel-drive models are available. Competitors include the Jaguar F-Type, Lexus LC 500 and Porsche Panamera.

What’s New on the 2023 BMW 8 Series?

The 8 Series line gets a subtle styling refresh that includes an illuminated grille and minor trim alterations. Inside, a 12.3-inch touchscreen replaces the previous 10.25-inch screen.

What Features in the 2023 BMW 8 Series Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • Leather upholstery
  • Digital instrument panel
  • 3-inch multimedia screen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity
  • Harman Kardon surround-sound system
  • Satellite radio
  • Forward collision warning
  • City collision mitigation
  • Lane departure warning
  • Automatic high-beam headlights

Available features include:

  • Hands-free low-speed highway driving system
  • 360-degree camera system
  • Blind spot warning
  • Four-wheel steering

Should I Buy the 2023 BMW 8 Series?

If you’re in the market for a luxurious European sedan that’s a bit more stylish than a BMW 7 Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the 8 Series Gran Coupe is worth a look. Coupe and convertible variants are sportier still, and that’s not counting the high-performance M8. Whichever model you choose, you’ll get a premium grand tourer that can be packed with technology.

    I recently purchased a BMW M850i Convertible coming off a three-year lease, with a portion of the 4-year/36,000-mile factory warranty still intact. An incredible high-end luxury performance car that I couldn't afford new. I transitioned to this vehicle from a C7 Corvette Z51 Convertible, which, despite its excellent performance, had become too uncomfortable for my wife and I on extended road trips. Seeking a vehicle that retained the high-performance spirit of the Corvette while offering superior ride quality, I selected the M850i.The BMW has surpassed expectations in nearly every category critical to my wife and me. It delivers significantly reduced cabin wind noise during top-down driving, exceptional comfort, impressive acceleration (clocking 3.1 to 3.7 seconds), and outstanding stability courtesy of the xDrive AWD system and four-wheel steering. Additionally, the exhaust note, premium audio system, and highly responsive infotainment center make for an exceptional driving experience. Admittedly, online research regarding the historical reliability of BMW’s 4.4L V8 (N63) engine can be concerning. However, my vehicle features the updated N63TU3 variant, which possesses a significantly improved maintenance and reliability record compared to its predecessors. While the historical stigma surrounding the N63 engine remains, securing an extended protection plan like CarShield offers essential peace of mind for long-term ownership.

    Amazing !!!!!

    I have driven many BMW’s but this one surpasses them. Not only does it have an amazing look but the feel and sound of a V8 is no comparison. I can leave it in comfort mode and relax or put in Sport and everything changes. I hope BMW leaves this one alone along with the M5 and not make into the electric garbage with these horrible grills.

    2023 BMW 850i - INCREDIBLE !

    I had owned a used BMW650i for 10 years and love the car for the look, size, performance and value. I decided to finally upgrade to a new 2023 BMW 850i. The car is incredible. The Horsepower is outstanding and the car drives like a machine. It has power, handling, and is sporty but you still feel like you have a full car you are driving.
