Available as a coupe, a convertible, and even as a swoopy sedan that’s more like a four-door coupe, the modern iteration of the BMW 8 Series lineup is mostly a re-marketed 6 Series, which is why it doesn’t excel in passenger space compared to a 4 Series, for example.
What it does excel compared to a 4 Series, though, is the use of a more traditional deign language, especially when it comes to older BMWs that don’t have a giant kidney grille throning at the front of the car.
