The 2023 BMW 8-series coupe and convertible are positioned as the most extravagant two-door models in the company’s portfolio. With aggressive proportions and sinewy sheetmetal, both body styles have notable curbside presence, even if neither is as fancy as, say, the Lexus LC. Still, BMW endows each with a beautiful interior that is exquisitely appointed and impeccably built. While its tiny back seat exists as a courtesy, anyone who needs more passenger space can opt for the 8-series Gran Coupe sedan (reviewed separately). Power comes from two excellent sources: a 335-hp turbocharged straight-six (840i) or a 523-hp twin-turbo V-8 (M850i). Regardless of the powertrain, the 2023 8-series coupe and convertible have surprising agility for their size and a genuinely serene ride quality.
