The 8 Series is BMW's flagship coupe, blending saloon luxury with a grand-touring silhouette. The first-generation E31, built 1989 to 1999, became famous for its pop-up headlights and the V12 in the 850i. The modern generation from 2018, based on the G14, G15 and G16 codes, returns with coupe, convertible and four-door Gran Coupe body styles. At the top sits the M8 with a turbocharged V8 and xDrive. The 8 Series appears at Japanese auctions both as the classic E31 and as the modern grand coupe.
