Earlier this month, BMW bid farewell to the 8 Series after an eight-year run. Fleeting, yes, but far from underwhelming. Between 2019 and 2025, after all, BMW encouraged close to 43,000 customers in North America – each humming and hawing between BMW’s then-flagship grand tourer, a Porsche 911, and/or a ‘standard’ Aston Martin Vantage – to part with just under $88,000 for an 8 Series coupe of their own. Or $97,400 if they wanted the drop top.
