The big BMW coupe makes its return to the U.S. after 20 years. The coupe will be built at the BMW Dingolfing plant in Germany, home to BMW 7 Series sedan production. BMW PR minions say that the directive for the all-new BMW 8 Series Coupe’s design was "to provide a thrilling driving experience and that body, powertrain and suspension were honed to achieve the agility, precision and poise expected of a top-class luxury sports coupe." The launch of the BMW M850i xDrive Coupe also marks the premiere of a new BMW 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo V8 engine. Details include two twin-scroll turbochargers with charge air cooling located within the V-shaped space between the cylinder banks, High Precision Injection, VALVETRONIC fully variable valve control and Double-VANOS variable camshaft timing giving "a substantial boost to maximum power, torque and efficiency," according to BMW. The new BMW TwinPower Turbo V8 engine delivers 523HP between 5,500 and 6,000 rpm and 553 lb-ft of torque from 1,800 to 4,600 rpm. The new 850i goes 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds and has a limited top speed of 155 mph. By the way, BMW says it weighs 4,478 lbs.
4500 pounds! That is a P-I-G Pig!.
