What new features does the design of the 2023 BMW 8 Series models offer?

BMW twin-kidney grille with Iconic Glow, new paint finishes and wheel designs.

The characteristic BMW kidney grille adds an arresting accentuation to the front of all BMW 8 Series variants.  The BMW Illuminated Kidney Grille provides an iconic glow using waterfall lighting for the two grille elements, creating a dramatic impression when the new BMW 8 Series is viewed from the front. The illumination is activated when the vehicle is unlocked or a door is opened and can be switched on or off manually by the driver.  The grille also features redesigned vertical bars with a distinctive U-shaped profile.

Five new exterior paint colors have been added to the 8 Series palette: Skyscraper Grey metallic, San Remo Green metallic, Portimao Blue metallic, BMW Individual Frozen Tanzanite Blue metallic, and Frozen Pure Grey.

Two new 20-inch wheel designs, style 895M and 894M, are optionally available on all new 8 Series models.  The wheel style 895M fitted with high-performance, non-runflat tires is included in the Cooling and High Performance Tire Package, which is optional on M850i xDrive coupe and Gran Coupe.

The M850i xDrive coupe, convertible, and Gran Coupe now feature aerodynamically optimized

The M Sport Package was made standard equipment on 840i and 840i xDrive models for model year 2022.  For 2023, the new optional M Sport Package Professional adds extended Shadowline trim with black kidney grille, black calipers for the standard M Sport brakes, M Shadowline headlights with dark inserts and a black M rear spoiler for the M850i xDrive coupe.

With its staggered semicircles in blue, purple and red, the anniversary emblem is reminiscent of the original BMW M GmbH trademark that was first used on racing cars in 1973.
