Used 2019 BMW 8 Series Convertible Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The four-seat 2019 BMW 8 Series is offered in a single M850i xDrive trim in either a coupe or convertible body style. Both are powered by a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 (523 horsepower, 553 lb-ft of torque). An eight-speed automatic is the only transmission offered and sends power to all four wheels.

Standard features include 20-inch wheels, adaptive LED/laser headlights, power-folding heated mirrors, a power trunklid, soft-close doors, automatic wipers, front and rear parking sensors, a sport exhaust, selectable drive modes, all-wheel steering and an automated parking system. The convertible adds a power-folding cloth top.

Inside, you get dual-zone automatic climate control, a head-up display, an auto-dimming rearview and driver-side mirror, a virtual instrument panel, leather upholstery, heated power-adjustable front seats with memory functions, interior ambient lighting, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a navigation system, a surround-view camera, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a wireless charging pad, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound system with satellite radio, and BMW Remote Services (emergency communications, remote controls and concierge services).

Standard advanced safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic high beams.

Bundled options include the Driving Assistance Professional package that contains enhanced driving assist systems plus a vehicle stop lever you can pull in case of a health emergency. There's also the BMW Individual Composition option that allows buyers to specify unique paint and interior treatments. Other add-ons include a carbon-fiber roof, a gear selector and select controls in faceted glass, a microsuede headliner, dark-finished exterior trim elements, a night-vision camera, and a Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system.

The coupe is eligible for the Cooling and High Performance Tire package (upgraded engine cooling and tires for high-performance applications) while a neck warmer can be added to the convertible.

Which 8 Series trim does Edmunds recommend?

There aren't any trim levels to pick from, so the real decision comes down to coupe or convertible. If you're more into performance, the coupe is your choice because you can add a carbon-fiber roof as well as the Cooling and High Performance Tire package.
