BMW is forging ahead with its model offensive in the luxury segment, with the presentation of an open-top sports car which explores the highest reaches of dynamic flair, emotionality and exclusivity.

The new BMW 8 Series Convertible blends ultra-sporty driving properties with distinctive design elegance and offers an exclusive passport to hallmark BMW driving pleasure, plus a full-blooded open-top experience.

The second model in the new BMW 8 Series line-up, the new BMW 8 Series Convertible combines dynamic flair and serene long-distance ability with a sumptuous open-top driving experience.

It features a classic soft-top roof with fully electric, quiet operation, minimised weight and outstanding acoustic comfort.

The roof opens and closes in 15 sec at the touch of a button and when travelling at up to 50km/h.

The market launch for the BMW 8 Series Convertible is set for March 2019 with the M850i xDrive Convertible available locally. It has a 390kW V8 engine that produces 750Nm torque. – Motoring correspondent
