2019 BMW M850i Cabriolet Review: the Apex of Luxury
2019 BMW M850i Cabriolet Review: the Apex of LuxurySeveral parts of Canada are currently enjoying a nice stretch of Indian summer, and at Auto123 we’re celebrating by presenting our unofficial week of the convertible! And we start off with a stylish bang, with our review of the 2019 BMW M850i Cabriolet.
Still to come this week, our reviews of the 2019 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth and Mazda MX-5, and of the 2020 BMW Z4 M40i
The time is past when choosing a convertible meant making a lot of compromises. Case in point, the big, stylish 2019 BMW M850i Cabriolet that joins the 8 Series coupe in BMW’s lineup. While not everyone has the convertible-loving gene in them – for some, they’re considered more expensive and slower than coupes – no one can argue this Beemer lacks class. The 8 Series Coupe was stunning to begin with, and we set out to see if the Cabriolet was its equal.
Open-air luxury
The coupe version of the 8 Series was a highly sporty creature, but giving the model a removable top makes it even more striking, while keeping the luxury level just as high. The M50i Cabriolet as elegant styling, and for a convertible its top manages to produce an impressively quiet interior when in place.
The interior
Nice as the exterior is to look at, getting behind the wheel is even more appealing. This is a high-end interior through and through, one that welcomes the driver in an environment as practical as it is sumptuous. Most of the elements found in the Coupe are here, the main addition being the vast open sky you can enjoy over your head. As for the engine sound, it’s as intoxicating as it is in the coupe.
