“A MASTERPIECE IN MOTION”
—BMWUSA.com
ALPINA tuning of the 4.4-liter V-8 Bi-Turbo engine results in a total output of 612 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, for high-performance driving and effortless power delivery.
The 8 Gran Coupes are models of advanced engineering, with standard and available components like Integral Active Steering and an M Sport Differential to enhance handling capabilities.
Standard 21" ALPINA wheels make this Gran Coupe stand out in a crowd, especially with the finely calibrated ALPINA high-performance brakes.
The unique design of ALPINA front and rear aprons reduces wind resistance, while increasing the flow of cooling air to the engine and powertrain.
Sized like a sedan, designed like a luxury sports car. The 8 Series Gran Coupe alternates between chiseled and graceful, with the low roofline that defines the four-door coupe configuration.
Enhance driving dynamics by lowering your vehicle's weight and center of gravity with a roof made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) – a feature previously exclusive to BMW M models.
Bowers & Wilkins® Diamond Surround Sound System has it all: 16 speakers - including exclusive Diamond Dome tweeters, 1,400 watts of audio power, 10 fully active amplification channels, QuantumLogic Surround/Dynamic Sound Equalizing via measuring microphone and three analog crossover networks for consistent sound quality.
The soft Alcantara® headliner is available in colors to match the upholstery for a coordinated, sophisticated look.
Even the driver's controls in the ALPINA B8 get a model-specific design. The display of the Digital Instrument Cluster is recreated with brand-specific colors and designs.
A hand-finished ALPINA LAVALINA leather steering wheel, engraved Glass Controls, and beautiful interior trim – this degree of perfection can only be found in an ALPINA vehicle.
No need to fear parallel parking. Simply drive at a slow speed and the Parking Assistant Plus feature can find parking spaces on the right or left side. It offers a camera system that provides an aerial view of your vehicle, and also operates for perpendicular or parallel parking spaces. This semi-autonomous driving feature will take care of steering your car into a parking space, and the Back-up Assistant function will steer you out, while you control the speed and braking.
OK to change lanes? A radar sensor monitors the area around your BMW and triggers an illuminated triangular LED light in the exterior mirror to warn you that there’s a vehicle in your blind spot or approaching at a high speed. If you then start to cross lanes, you will feel a slight vibration in your steering wheel - a secondary caution to remain in your lane.
Innovative camera/radar-based driver assistance systems provide partly-automated support to deliver peace of mind. Features like Steering and Lane Keeping Assistant, Lane Change Assistant, Emergency Stop Assistant, and Evasion Aid assist the driver during critical driving situations, such as a health emergency or the sudden presence of vehicles or pedestrians in front of the car.
