Used BMW 8 Series Petrol Cars For Sale

Making a statement from day one, the original BMW 8 Series was one of the first BMW models to be crafted using computer-aided design (CAD) drawings. It was also the first production car with a V12 engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.

Due to strong sales of the BMW 6 Series, the BMW 8 Series debuted late at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1989 as a Coupé only and remained in production until 1999.

The second generation 8 Series was then re-introduced in 2018, with Convertible and four-door Gran Coupé models joining the Coupé line-up.

The High-performance BMW M8 was introduced in 2019, twenty years after the BMW 8 Series first launched.

Updates such as the Iconic Illuminated Glow kidney grill and a larger 12.3-inch infotainment system were made in 2022.

As a popular grand tourer, Approved Used BMW 8 Series models are in high demand. Browse our carefully selected line-up today for detailed specifications. You can also visit your nearest Dick Lovett BMW dealership in Bristol, Hungerford (near Newbury), Melksham (near Bath) or Swindon to find a BMW 8 Series for sale that suits your lifestyle.

With racy DNA and a prestige design, it’s clear to see why the BMW 8 Series is one of the marque’s top models. Flying the flag for premium motoring, the 8 Series is a luxury grand tourer that radiates quality and sophistication. Combining old-school appeal with all the latest design elements and technology, the BMW 8 Series is the full package.

Engine options are plentiful and will depend on your driving style and personal taste. There’s the discontinued 3.0-litre straight-six mild-hybrid diesel badged 840d. This is still available on the used car market and offers 335 bhp and 680 Nm of torque. It can also complete the 0-62 mph sprint in just 4.8 seconds.

Petrol options include the 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six 840i which produces 328 bhp and achieves 0-62 mph in just 5.2 seconds as a Coupé. Convertibles and Gran Coupé alternatives are slightly slower. For a racier experience, opt for the M850i with its twin-turbo 4.4 V8 making 523 bhp and delivering 0-62 mph in just 3.9 seconds. It also benefits from four-wheel drive.

The BMW 8 Series looks the part too. With a sleek low profile for improved aerodynamics, the updated Illuminated Glow kidney grille for a distinctive front end, a wide athletic stance complemented by prominent wheel arches and innovative LED lighting, there’s no missing this range-topping model.

Step inside and discover an equally luxurious interior complete with Merino leather upholstery, heated and cooling seats with memory function, a fully-digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch infotainment system that supports BMW’s iDrive technology, ambient lighting, four-zone climate control, and a sport steering wheel. Select models also boast a Bower & Wilkins Diamond surround sound system.

Whatever model you go for you can expect a breathtaking interior loaded with exceptional features. Comfort is at the heart of design, allowing all travellers to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

Whether you’re new to BMW ownership or are upgrading an existing model, buying an Approved Used BMW 8 Series is sure to be an exciting time. There are a few things to consider before making your final decision, however.

Firstly, with numerous engines in circulation it’s important to think about your preferences. The majority are petrol but, for the purpose of economy, you may want to keep an eye out for diesel alternatives. As BMW’s flagship model, all cars in the range are powerful and exciting to drive, but opt for the M850i for super-fast acceleration supported by all-wheel drive.

The next consideration should be the body style. While first generation models are only available as a two-door Coupé, second generation models from 2018 onwards come as a Coupé, two-door Convertible and a four-door Gran Coupé. The latter offers more space and practicality thanks to its longer wheelbase. The Gran Coupé also extends the boot from 420-litres to 440-litres, with a rear-seat split of 40:20:40 for increased practicality. The Convertible only offers 350-litres of space. But what you miss in luggage space you gain back in the form of open-air driving.

As our Used BMW 8 Series models have had previous owners, they may come with additions and style tweaks as well as technology upgrades. Always read the specifications provided before booking a test drive.
