Let’s talk about courage,
and why we need it more than ever.
Courage is independent and disruptive.
Courage questions, shatters and awakens.
We need bold, courageous voices.
All of us.
We need fresh thinkers with optimism.
Daring dreamers who don’t accept
“No” for an answer.
We believe in the frontrunners.
The intellectual elite, the avantgarde.
Those who fight stagnation and backwardness.
Well, courage only knows forward.
Driving the pioneers of our culture
to inspire tomorrow.
To create a sublime kind of new.
Reaching a superior level of excellence.
This is where a
new kind of luxury is born,
in brave ideas, in the confidence
to speak out loud.
Even if nobody asks for it.
EVERY DAY WE EXPERIENCE PROGRESS.
THE FUTURE. YET WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE
SEEN IT ALL BEFORE. NOW AND THEN THOUGH,
SOMETHING SURPRISES US. AND TOUCHES US.
POWER IS A PHYSICAL QUANTITY: ONLY WHEN YOU
CULTIVATE IT, YOU CAN ADD A DIMENSION TO IT.
PURSUING HAPPINESS, SEARCHING FOR LOVE,
CELEBRATING SUCCESSES, DEALING WITH
SETBACKS, GOING FOR THE BEST, OPTIMISING,
BRINGING TO PERFECTION – LETTING GO.
WE LIVE IN A TIME THAT IS ALL ABOUT SPEED,
ABOUT MILLISECONDS. A TIME THAT IS RUNNING
AWAY IF YOU ARE NOT CLOSE ON ITS HEELS.
UNLESS YOU SIMPLY OVERTAKE IT.
WHOEVER ONLY FOLLOWS TRACES,
REACHES PLACES WHERE MANY OTHERS
HAVE BEEN ALREADY. IT IS ABOUT TIME
TO LEAVE NEW TRACES.
YOUR DESTINATION MAY BE A LINE, A PLACE,
A PERSON, THE ROAD. AND SOMETIMES YOU
WILL ONLY KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE ARRIVED.

“LUXURY MUST
AROUSE EMOTIONS.”
Searching and finding modern
perfection: Adrian van Hooydonk,
chief designer at the BMW Group, on
the new appearance in the segment
of the most exclusive vehicles.
The models under the name
Bayerische Motoren Werke
open up a new world within
the BMW portfolio. What is your
idea of contemporary luxury?
We do not want to tell our customers
how they should define luxury for
themselves, but just want to make
an attractive, diverse offer. The
perception of luxury is very different
worldwide. But a central aspect that
becomes visible everywhere is the
increasing significance of personal
time. It is becoming the most
valuable asset in a globalised world.
How is the wish for perfection and
refinement expressed in mobility?
In today’s mobile world, we spend
more and more time in various
modes of transport. Cars are now
like personal rooms on wheels.
One wants to feel completely
comfortable in them. A steering
wheel that you touch, the materials
that surround you have to feel
perfect and the eye does not want
to be disturbed by unclean lines or
individual components. The interior
of a vehicle is seen as a living space.
It is about being surrounded by the
highest possible sensuous quality.
What is the biggest challenge
in the external appearance?
Luxury must be reflected to the
outside world in a matter-of-fact
way. In English there is a beautiful
term for it: sophistication. For
designers – our team has more than
700 employees at four locations
worldwide, who are encouraged
through constant competition with
each other in terms of ideas – this
means that every detail counts.
The design has to arouse strong
emotions while expressing the
highest quality and durability at the
same time. In order to be able to
spend every moment intensely, full
of meaning and beauty. Therefore,
we are building a luxury ecosystem,
a model family. In various forms of
expression: contemporary saloons,
elegant and very sporty coupés,
but also vehicles that offer very
luxurious space.
In the new designs, a common
factor is noticeable: the reduction
of lines. Do you want to increase
luxury by making luxury less
apparent in the design?
In this way, the design becomes
clearer, more modern and more
emotional. An expressive surface
play is in the foreground, and
the dynamics are emphasised
even more than before by the
vehicle body. The few but very
precise vehicle lines underline
the graphic design of the surfaces.
The vehicle body looks more
powerful, refined and luscious
with the lavish surfaces without
losing the sportiness that is typical
to BMW. This is possible only
because we work out every feature
of a vehicle individually. For a BMW,
one should be able to identify at
first glance what kind of experience
one would have with it. Especially
in our large and particularly luxurious
vehicles, we attach great importance
to a marked appearance and the
maximum possible feel-good factor
in the interior. It’s about freedom –
and the feeling of being at home in
a BMW.
EXTERIOR DESIGN

CLEAR LINES.
The generously curved and muscular surfaces give the
BMW 8 Series Coupé a particularly confident sportiness.
The BMW designers have succeeded in reducing the
number of lines along the bodywork to a radical minimum,
thus emphasising the expressiveness of the surfaces to
the maximum – the basis for a completely new silhouette
in contemporary automotive design. Many surfaces,
such as the gently raised flanks behind the air vents of
the front wheel arches, have hitherto been unseen in
such an expressive form in automotive design.
The BMW 8 Series Coupé establishes a completely
new design language for luxury sports cars – an
overview of the most important design innovations.
POWERFUL PROPORTIONS.
Just right for a BMW sports car of the highest performance class:
the sporty-powerful proportions. Deep, wide and ready to leap,
the flat body ducks over the asphalt. Voluminous rear wheel arches
emphasise a low centre of gravity and the classic rear-wheel drive.
The flowing silhouette in conjunction with the gently curved surfaces
thus signal an effortless and natural urge to move forward.
ADVANCED HALLMARKS.
WIDE REAR LIGHTS IN THE BMW TYPICAL FORM OF
AN L UNDERSCORE THE STRONG SHOULDERS OF THE
NEW BMW 8 SERIES COUPÉ.
PERFECTED DETAILS.
Other subtle details such as the minimalist and floating light
side mirrors or the double-arched roof in the style of classic
racing cars complete the harmonious overall impression of the
BMW 8 Series Coupé, which, despite its restrained form and
unobtrusive luxury, awakens the viewer’s emotionalism typical
of a BMW sports car.
The BMW designers interpreted well-known BMW design
elements such as the BMW kidney grille, the rear lights in
the shape of an L or the typical kink in the graphics of the rear
windows in a highly modern way. For example, the forward
leaning BMW kidney grille in the shape of a shark nose refers to
iconic BMW racing cars such as the BMW 507 or BMW 3.0 CSL.
The particularly delicate and wide rear lights featured in the
BMW 8 Series Coupé emphasise the powerful shoulders as
well as the powerful rear end.

DESIGN AND HIGHLIGHTS – INTERIOR DESIGN
THE LUXURY
TO BE SPORTY.
The new BMW 8 Series Coupé is also irresistibly
luxurious in the interior – and at the same time
inimitably sporty: Noble materials and elaborate
workmanship create a maximally exclusive ambience.
At the same time, however, the design of the new
BMW 8 Series Coupé is thoroughly dynamic in
keeping with its character: The intentional longitudinal
orientation of the interior allows all lines to thrust
forward, and the BMW typical, consistent driver
orientation helps to keep the driver in control of
everything at all times. Get in and experience the
feeling of the racetrack, elegantly interpreted.
INTERIOR TRIM FINISHERS IN STAINLESS STEEL FABRIC SET
DYNAMIC HIGHLIGHTS IN THE INTERIOR WITH A TECHNICAL TOUCH.
INSPIRED BY THE CIRCUIT – THE INTERIOR OF
THE NEW BMW 8 SERIES COUPÉ IS DYNAMIC
TO THE LAST DETAIL.
In the BMW 8 Series Coupé, all the lines point forward from the
driver’s point of view and manifest the feeling of unrestrained
forward thrust. Typically for a sports car, the centre console is
wide and steeply rising. Here, all relevant functions are clearly
summarised, so that the driver enjoys full control in every driving
situation. In addition, the clearly structured layout creates space
for the luxurious effect of the high-quality materials and spacious
surfaces.
IN THE BMW INDIVIDUAL EXTENDED LEATHER TRIM ‘MERINO’
TARTUFO WITH STRIKING CONTRAST STITCHING, EVEN THE
SEATS ATTRACT ATTENTION.
TWO WORLDS, NO COMPROMISES:
THE NEW BMW 8 SERIES COUPÉ COMBINES
SPORTINESS WITH ABSOLUTE LUXURY.
IRRESISTIBLY LUXURIOUS –
AND INIMITABLY SPORTY
AT THE SAME TIME.
From classic-sporty to modern-elegant: Even the interior has a
unique luxurious atmosphere. Starting with the basic equipment,
the instrument panel and door panel are covered in leather and
provided with contrast stitching. Seats in leather ‘Vernasca’1,
BMW Individual leather ‘Merino’ with extended contents2 or even
BMW Individual full leather trim ‘Merino’3 emphasise the individual
claim of the interior. Design elements such as the flowing
transitions between the instrument panel and the doors create
an all-round exclusive design experience that equally surrounds
drivers and passengers on all sides. The hand-crafted glass
applications 4 are an experience for the hands and the eyes:
They set high-quality highlights on selected control elements
such as the gear selector, the Start-Stop button, the iDrive
Controller or the volume control, which further add to the already
noble ambience.

DESIGN AND HIGHLIGHTS – DYNAMICS BMW M8 GTE
NO COMPROMISES.
Respect. That’s what I feel when I see
the BMW M8 GTE. The new BMW kidney
grille, the rear end with wide wheelbase, the
wheel arches and air outlets, and the overall
aerodynamics radiate an intensity that shows
every competitor what it’s about on the
racetrack: Respect.
Actually, tuning and engine power are the
most important features of a vehicle for a
professional racer. But these strengths must
also be visible at first glance. In this regard,
the BMW M8 GTE is the most consistent
racing car BMW has ever built. And this
presence is immediately apparent in the
production model. The elongated bonnet
and the proportions of the rear wheels
immediately reveal the genes of a sports
car – the sides of the production model
are ultimately only 100 millimetres narrower
than those of the BMW M8 GTE.
The development of a new racing car takes
several years. As a driver you are involved,
test, give feedback. And the experts work
on the details, such as the shape of the
exterior mirrors, which is based on the
famous M hooks of the BMW M models
and improves the flow on the sides of the
vehicle. I was honoured to be the first to
drive the new BMW M8 GTE on the
racetrack after its development. An
emotional moment – and from the first
moment a perfect interaction.
This wow effect was there in the production
model immediately, you feel immediately
embraced by the vehicle. You do not just sit
in it and drive, you become a unit. Everything
feels ergonomic. The structure of the cockpit,
the settings on the steering wheel all show
that no compromises are made when it
comes to driver orientation. I feel the same
absolute confidence that is so essential on
the racetrack. When nothing should distract
you, especially in a 24-hour race like Le Mans,
when you have to go through the programme
without a hitch. Hour after hour, lap after lap,
to be fully there in the finale. Show strength
when it’s about everything – and show the
competitors a very special new design detail of
the new BMW 8 Series: the characteristically
slim line of rear lights.

The racing genes of the new BMW M850i xDrive Coupé are noticeable in
every driving situation. The high body rigidity and the reinforced suspension
components ensure direct implementation of every steering command.
The specially-tuned BMW xDrive four-wheel drive and the controlled
M Sport differential provide maximum traction when accelerating out of
corners – with an agility that was previously reserved only for rear-wheel
drive vehicles. The 19" M Sport brake impresses with the most precise
dosing and highest braking performance – even under the toughest load.
Maximum lateral forces are counteracted by the wheels with standard
sport mixed tyres. Integral Active Steering guarantees perfect steering and
maximum speed confidence in every speed range. As standard, the new
BMW 8 Series Coupé comes with the Adaptive M suspension. It provides
optimum road holding on all surfaces and allows the driver to choose
between particularly sporty or comfortable suspension tuning. Welcome
to a new dimension of performance!

AT HOME NEAR THE LIMITS: THE NEW BMW M850i xDRIVE COUPÉ.
CONFIDENT THROUGH EVERY CURVE – AT ANY SPEED:
ADAPTIVE M SUSPENSION PROFESSIONAL.
A push on the gas pedal – and the TwinPower Turbo 8-cylinder petrol engine with 4.4 litre
capacity resolutely attacks every metre of asphalt. Its superior revving power drives up the
driver’s pulse when it approaches the tangible limit with precise dosing: Two Twin-Scroll
exhaust gas turbochargers, cylinder liners with special coating and a cooling package
designed for maximum performance with two repositioned coolers, an upstream radiator
and a 1,000-watt fan are only found in racing sports cars. On request, the Sport exhaust
system emphasises the load changes of the V8 engine with a strong character, but at the
push of a button it also has a finely subdued tone – depending on the selected mode.
Highly agile, surprisingly comfortable: The Adaptive M suspension Professional1
combines typical dynamics with smoothness and stability. The electromechanical
body roll stabilisation reduces the lateral inclination on the curves and thus enables
very high cornering speeds. Depending on the situation, it chooses a stabilising or
agile driving behaviour. Thus, the driver can enjoy the fullest control and responsive
handling even with fast cornering or quick changes of direction.

das geregelte M Sportdifferential bieten maximale Traktion beim Herausbeschleunigen aus Kurven – bei einer Agilität, die bisher nur Fahrzeugen
mit Hinterradantrieb vorbehalten waren. Die 19" M Sportbremse überzeugt
mit präzisester Dosierbarkeit und höchster Bremsperformance – selbst
bei härtester Belastung. Höchsten Querkräften stemmen sich die Räder
mit serienmäßiger Sport-Mischbereifung entgegen. Die Integral-Aktivlenkung garantiert dabei in jedem Geschwindigkeitsbereich perfektes
Einlenken und Höchstgeschwindigkeitssouveränität. Serienmäßig ist im
neuen BMW 8er Coupé das Adaptive M Fahrwerk verbaut. Es sorgt für
Straßenangebundenheit auf allen Untergründen und ermöglicht dem Fahrer,

LUXURY,
ACCELERATED.
STRONG CONTRAST, UNCOMPROMISING
IVORY WHITE MEETS PIANO FINISH
Thoroughly elegant, unmistakably sporty:
The interior in the bright colour scheme with
BMW Individual extended leather trim ‘Merino’
Ivory White and BMW Individual interior trim
finishers piano black lacquer spread luxuriously
tasteful ambience in every detail.
THE INTERIOR TRIM FINISHERS IN PIANO FINISH BLACK APPEAR
EXTREMELY EXQUISITE WITH THEIR GLOSS AND PICK UP THE
CONTRAST OF THE UPHOLSTERY.
THE STRIKING STITCHING HIGHLIGHTS THE BMW INDIVIDUAL
EXTENDED LEATHER TRIM ‘MERINO’ AND GOES PARTICULARLY
WELL WITH THE IVORY WHITE UPHOLSTERY.
THE SPECIAL SHINE MAKES THE BMW INDIVIDUAL INTERIOR TRIM
FINISHERS IN PIANO FINISH BLACK APPEAR ESPECIALLY LUXURIOUS
IN AN UNMISTAKABLE ENVIRONMENT.
With the extended leather trim BMW Individual
‘Merino’ Bi-colour in Fiona Red and Black, the interior
of the new BMW 8 Series Coupé is already enhancing
the pulse. Along with the interior trim finishers in
BMW Individual piano finish Black, there is no doubt
about it: In this vehicle, limits are only starting lines.
THE INTERACTION OF STITCHING, PERFORATION AND SEAMING IS
AN EXCLUSIVE CHARACTER OF THE NEW BMW 8 SERIES COUPÉ.
