Muscat: Al Jenaibi International Automobiles, the official importer of BMW Group in Oman, is thrilled to announce the arrival of the all-new BMW 8 Series Coupe.

Presenting the redefinition of the sports car, the new BMW 8 Series Coupe combines powerful performance and high-end luxury effortlessly.

Featuring a completely redeveloped V8 engine, which offers exactly the right balance between performance and emotion, state-of-the-art intelligent four-wheel drive technology, an active rear axle differential lock, the adaptive M suspension Professional with active roll stabilisation and Integral Active Steering, the BMW 8 Series Coupe forms a perfectly harmonised package for fascinating sportiness and supreme comfort.

Whist having the same weight as the predecessor engine, the new power unit mobilises an output that has been increased by 50 kW/68 hp to 390 kW/530 hp. Maximum torque has increased by 100 Nm to 750 Nm and is available at 1,800 rpm. The eight-cylinder engine delivers its power to an extensively further developed 8-speed Steptronic sport transmission characterised by expanded spread and further shortened shift times allowing to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.

The most striking features shared by the engine and suspension include the eight-cylinder power unit being featured for the first time in the BMW M850i xDrive Coupe, which produces precisely the amount of torque and sonorous sound for relaxed cruising. The Sport or Sport+ mode of the driving experience control ensures the power delivery and the engine sound alike become noticeably more dynamic. Likewise, the function of the electronically controlled dampers, the stability control system Dynamic Stability Control and the four-wheel drive system are precisely oriented to the selected driving mode and provide for maximum wheel stability at any time, so that contact with the road is guaranteed even on short stretches of uneven surface.

The new BMW 8 Series Coupe integrates lateral and longitudinal dynamic performance with poise, assurance and luxury over long distances. It also opens a further chapter in the brand’s successful sports car history and kicks off the premium manufacturer’s model initiative in the luxury segment.

Body structure, drive technology and suspension focus squarely on achieving the elite dynamic performance expected of a top-class sports car.

Low centre of gravity, well-balanced weight distribution, lightweight construction using aluminium, magnesium and carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP), aerodynamically optimised and virtually lift-free body, powerful engines, sports exhaust system, rear axle differential lock, extremely stiff body and suspension structure. Adaptive M suspension, Integral Active Steering and mixed-size tyres come as standard.

The all-new BMW 8 Series Coupe features relaxed and luxurious interior ambience, longitudinally oriented lines and surfaces which direct the eye forward onto the road. The clearly structured arrangement of controls underscores the focus on the driver and the importance attached to delivering a sporty and dynamic driving experience.

Moreover, the high-grade materials, sophisticated interior lighting, trim surfaces rising from the center console to the instrument panel add to the luxury element of this powerful machine.

Al Jenaibi International Automobiles is excited to bring aboard this new edition, which will truly elevate the driving experience of this segment.

The BMW 8 Series Coupe is available for sale across Al Jenaibi International Automobiles showrooms upon arrival, customers are invited to view the model in person and experience it through a test drive.
