BMW revived the 8 Series nameplate in 2018, replacing the outgoing 6 Series to create a new flagship grand tourer. Available as a Coupe (G15), Convertible (G14), and four-door Gran Coupe (G16), the new 8 Series combines aggressive styling with a luxurious interior and a range of powerful engines, from the capable 840i with its B58 inline-6 to the formidable M8 Competition with its S63 twin-turbo V8.
As a modern vehicle, the G1x 8 Series isn't a traditional collector car yet, but its position at the top of the BMW lineup makes it highly desirable. Enthusiasts are drawn to the high-performance M850i and M8 models, which offer near-supercar acceleration in a comfortable package. Limited editions, like the M8 Gran Coupe First Edition, add a layer of exclusivity for those looking for rarer examples.
The market for the G1x 8 Series is still in its depreciation phase, which is great news for buyers. Early models offer a significant discount from their original sticker price, with an average transaction price around $76,000. This makes the 8 Series an attractive option for those wanting flagship BMW performance and technology without the cost of a brand-new car.
Buying Tips
- V8 models (M850i and M8) use the N63/S63 engine; check for evidence of oil consumption or coolant leaks, common issues with this engine family.
- Test all electronics thoroughly. These cars are complex, and repairing the iDrive system, digital displays, or advanced driver-assistance features can be expensive.
- A complete and verifiable service history from a BMW dealer or specialist is critical. High-performance parts like brakes and tires are costly to replace.
- Choose the body style that fits your needs: the G15 Coupe is the purest sports car, the G14 Convertible offers an open-air experience, and the G16 Gran Coupe adds practicality with four doors and a usable back seat.
- Pay attention to high-value options like the carbon fiber roof, Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System, and M Carbon exterior package, as they significantly impact desirability and price.
Prices range from $1,295 to $349,999 across all model years and variants.
