The M850i convertible looks dynamic from almost every angle and feels it from behind the wheel. Picture: SUPPLIED
The 8 Series is all about “expanding our line-up in the luxury segment”, says Sarah Lessmann, product manager for the new convertible. She told us that “strengthening our position in this segment is very important in BMW’s Group One Next strategy”. The soft top gives it a nice classic look and lowers its centre of gravity compared to the coupe. Picture: SUPPLIED
BMW says it competes more with the Aston Martin Vantage and Porsche 911, but it’s just not in that league. It’s sporty but it’s not a sports car, if you know what I mean. At least not until you push it hard in twisty and narrow mountain passes where you realise the insane level of grip available as you exploit that 750Nm of torque.
