The BMW M850i xDrive Coupé First Edition is a rare breed, offering all the benefits and attributes of 8 Series Coupé but, with only a handful of units available in the UK, it possesses absolute exclusivity.

The First Edition is a spellbinding luxury sports car featuring an exclusive interior trim taken from the BMW Individual range as well as an exhaustive equipment list to go with its sporty, elegant design.

This exclusive special edition will be launched in June 2019. For the first time, the drive and suspension technology of the two-door model, which was developed incorporating motor racing know-how, can now be combined with exclusive BMW Individual exterior and interior equipment features. The BMW M850i xDrive Coupé First Edition will be produced in a limited quantity of 400 at the BMW Dingolfing plant in May, and ten will be destined for the UK.

The exterior paint finish, light alloy wheels and interior trim will set the BMW M850i xDrive Coupé First Edition apart. The BMW Individual special paint finish, Frozen Barcelona Blue metallic, has been specifically developed for this model. This, combined with the upgraded BMW Individual High Gloss Shadow Line, which in addition to the side window surrounds, also includes the BMW kidney grille frame and slats, the air breather applications and tailpipe trims finished in black. The dark accents featured on the special edition model are complemented by 20-inch M light alloy wheels with a Y-spoke design finished in Jet Black. Also included is the M Carbon roof and an M Carbon exterior package as standard.

The exclusive interior of the BMW M850i xDrive Coupé First Edition is also enhanced by specific BMW Individual design features, a fine selection of colours and materials and particularly high-quality equipment. A special feature offered for the edition models is the BMW Individual full leather trim Merino in the novel colour combination Ivory White/Night Blue. The matching interior design features also comprise the M leather-covered steering wheel as well as the BMW Individual Alcantara roof liner, each finished in the colour Night Blue.

Inside the car, BMW Individual interior trim strips in a Black Piano finish located in the centre of the cockpit, bear the lettering “First Edition 1/400”. Moreover, the Bowers&Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System and the Crafted Clarity glass applications on the start/stop button, the iDrive Controller, the volume control and the illuminated gearshift lever complement the luxurious interior ambience. In addition, the First Edition includes the Visibility, Technology and Premium packages as standard.

The exterior and interior design of the First Edition model goes hand in hand with its outstanding performance characteristics. The special edition model is powered by a 530hp, eight-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. The high-torque V8 is combined with an eight-speed Steptronic sports transmission that transfers engine power effortlessly to the road thanks to intelligent BMW xDrive four-wheel-drive technology and a suspension set-up perfectly tuned to the vehicle.

The BMW M850i xDrive Coupé First Edition is on sale from June and priced at £121,995 OTR.

* Fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption are provisional, and were measured using the methods required according to Regulation (EC) 2007/715 as amended. The information is based on a vehicle with basic equipment in Germany; ranges take into account differences in wheel and tyre size selected as well as optional equipment and can change during configuration.

 

The information has already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle and adapted to NEDC for comparison purposes. In these vehicles, different figures than those published here may apply for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions.

CO2 emission information.

The values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption shown were determined in a standardised test cycle according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version currently applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers transmission (automatic or manual) and the different wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary during the configuration.

The values of the vehicles labelled with (*), are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to allow a comparison between vehicles. More information on the transition from NEDC to WLTP test procedures can be found here.

These figures are intended for comparison purposes and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles the figures have been obtained using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. The CO2 emissions labels are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the Passenger Car (Fuel consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) Regulations 2001, as amended. They are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle.

A guide on fuel economy and CO2 emissions which contains data for all new passenger car models is available at any point of sale free of charge. For further information you can also visit this link.
