BMW's 8-Series Configurator Is Now Online
Are you a petrolhead who’s bored at the office today? If so, BMW has just released the perfect distraction for you. Having just pulled the cover off of the all-new 8-series, the Belgian division of the Bavarian luxury car maker recently launched an online configurator for the gorgeous grand tourer. Unsurprisingly, we couldn’t help but come up with our own virtual creation.
Our virtual creation is based on the M850i, which is powered by a 4.4-litre petrol V8 with more than 500bhp. Even though the colour palette isn’t particularly diverse, we still had a hard time deciding what shade to paint out an 8-Series. In the end, we opted for Sunset Orange over 20-inch black-finished wheels.
Inside, we’ve kept things fairly conservative. Our M850i is stitched together with the standard black leather upholstery, with M-themed tricolour seat piping. In keeping with the dark-themed cockpit, we’ve replaced the standard aluminum centre console trim with a piano black finish.
Like most BMWs, you can get carried away with the options list on the 8-Series. Fettling your M850i with features such as Harmon Kardon audio, carbon-fibre fascia and advanced driver aids can push the price tag north of €150,000. But, hey, it’s only money, right?
How would you configure your 8-Series? Spend some time on the 8-Series configurator and share your creations in the comments!

Aaaaand there goes all my spare time
As a person in 12th grade
Can you please explain the concept of spare time
At first glancr, without reading the title, I thought that’s a Mustang.
The roofline is very similar. Ignore the front bumper and I could totally see it
Mom: son! Your grandad just had a heart attack
Me: NOT NOW MOM, Im trying to build a BMW 8 series that James May would like?
can i remove the indicators?
Too many people draining the indicator fluid causing more pollution has lead to BMW not fitting indicators as standard. They are a £1000 extra.
Here’s my config
Love it
Almost the same as mine lol
It’s time to configur8 my new 8 m8
I love the new colour
Love this combo!
Good taste
Looks absolutely gorgeous like this
White interior looks the best, its just looks expensive
The only thing that annoys me in 8 series configurator is that you don’t have an option to select grey/white headlining or sunroof. Black headlining makes most interiors seem visually smaller and less spacious than they actually are. I just like to feel more space above my head
There went my productivity
Now I know how I will (cratively) waste my time when I get home. These configurators are sooo addictive.
Forget the M850i, I want my M2 Competition configurator already :(
Go to BMW Belgium. It’s available.
