标题: [ Tech - Auto ] New BMW 8 Series
[br] (, 下载次数: 0) [br][br]The latest from BMW is the M850i xDrive. We test the car in sunny Portugal with the top down to get you ehensive perspective on the new 8 family.[br][br][br] (, 下载次数: 0) [br][br]The all-new BMW 8 Series appeared in its coupe avatar in the middle of 2018, and a few months down the line it is time for the family to grow. BMW has used the 8 Series name in the 1980s and 90s, but this cannot really be called a successor to that car. Still, if you want to, call it a second generation! The 8 Series convertible has also since arrived, and a 4-door Gran Coupe bodystyle will complete the family when it gets here by mid-2019.[br][br][br] (, 下载次数: 0) [br][br]The new 8 Series is nearly identical to the 6 Series in dimensions, but is tad wider and shorter in height & length.[br][br][br] (, 下载次数: 0) [br][br][br][br] (, 下载次数: 0) [br][br]The grille is large and looks menacing while the headlamps are the slimmest in BMW's line-up.[br][br][br] (, 下载次数: 0) [br][br]Material quality, equipment and yes even the gadgets are a step up for sure. Virtual cluster, head up display, bigger touchscreen with the latest iDrive 7.0 and the latest in connectivity and sound systems. Harmon Kardon is standard; Bowers & Wilkins diamond surround is an option. The convertible does not have gesture control (the hard tops have it), but does get the BMW personal assistant voice-controlled functionality. The start stop button, gear shifter and iDrive controller are finished in crystal glass like we saw on the X5 and X7. But this is the first non-X model to get what BMW calls 'crafted clarity'. The dash and door panels are all wrapped in leather. The car certainly exudes quality and class.[br][br][br] (, 下载次数: 0) [br][br]The wind deflector can be manually popped on or off over the rear seats, while roof folds up or down in just 15 seconds[br][br]There is a wind deflector that comes standard which can be manually popped on or off over the rear seats. The roof folds up or down in just 15 seconds, and can be operated at up to 50 kmph. The previous 6 convertible did it in 19 seconds and up to 40 kmph for what it's worth.[br][br][br] (, 下载次数: 0) [br][br]While the car is not then a 7 series based model, it does share its drivetrains. The M850i xDrive has the 520 bhp V8 petrol and the 3-litre, 314 bhp in-line six diesel that powers the 840d xDrive. Now BMW could bring us the convertible as a direct import in really small numbers. But you know what? It would also have to import in the wonderful clean air and the beautiful blue sky I've been lucky to have on my drive! That is why it is going to be the hard top that comes to us, and more likely not the coupe, but the Gran Coupe.[br][br][br] (, 下载次数: 0) [br][br]Yes it is likely we will only get the 8 Series Gran Coupe. But that car will only be revealed around June or July this year. So you might wonder why I am testing the convertible then? Well, three reasons why. First, because the engines we get will be shared across bodystyles, and so will be the same. Second. It is a chance to see where BMW has taken the 8 Series family, after all we never did drive the coupe as yet. And third - even though we may get a different bodystyle, a lot of the dynamics, performance and design elements will be similar, so it will still give us a good idea on what to expect. Satisfied? Then read on![br][br][br]Source: Car & Bike AN NDTV VENTURE
