BMW has launched a limited-edition version of the 8 Series called the M850i Edition M Heritage. It’s the last iteration of the four-door coupe before it goes out of production.
The BMW M850i Edition M Heritage pays homage to the E31 8 Series from the 1990s. It will be available in the same five colors that were offered on the original. These include Bright Red, Mauritius Blue, Cosmos Black, Oxford Green, or Daytona Violet.
Besides the special colors, the Edition M Heritage model also features a carbon fibre roof with M tri-color stripes, 20-inch alloy wheels, M Sport seats wrapped in Alcantara and black Merino leather, an Alcantara headliner, dashboard and door panels, and special doorsill plates.
The Edition M Heritage model also comes with the M Sport Professional package as standard. This includes black exterior trim and better brakes paired with black calipers. It also gets the Driving Assistance Professional Package.
The M850i Edition M Heritage is powered by the same 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine as the standard 8 Series Gran Coupe. This unit makes 523 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system. BMW claims a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.
The BMW M850i Edition M Heritage is limited to just 500 units. Prices start at $131,575.
