by AutoExpert | 26 January, 2022
Facelifted 2023 BMW M8 and 8-Series models have been unveiled at once. A new "Iconic Glow" grille has been added to the 2023 models to give them a fresh look. The rest of the alterations are minimal, but customers can expect new intakes, a fresh color scheme, and new wheels.
As a tribute to the 50th anniversary of BMW M, the M850i models get aerodynamically tuned M mirrors and iconic BMW Motorsport insignia mounted to the hood, trunk, and wheels.

There are no major changes to the inside, but customers will enjoy a larger infotainment system. Compared to its predecessor, which had a 10.25-inch screen, it now measures 12.3 inches. The M8 is no longer available, as BMW will only provide the M8 Competition. For the most part, it's just like the regular 8-Series, but with a more forceful grille.
New M Shadowline headlight inlays and M Carbon bucket seats are now available. The upholstery has been updated, and the dash and upper door panels have been covered in Alcantara. A classic twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine produces 617 hp (460 kW / 625 PS) and 553 lb-ft (749 Nm) of torque. It's paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and M xDrive all-wheel drive, allowing the M8 to sprint from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 96 km/h) in only 3.0 seconds.
8 X Jeff Koons Editions will be available for those who want something truly special. The vehicle will be unveiled on February 17th and will have an 11-color multi-layer body as well as a one-of-a-kind cabin with the highest quality materials and leather. Using the 850i xDrive Gran Coupe as the basis, BMW has collaborated with artist Jeff Koons to create this unique edition.
