About BMW 8-Series

The BMW 8 Series brings flagship grand tourer credentials to the Saudi market — combining a premium cabin with serious performance in a package that stands apart from conventional luxury saloons. The 2026 range is priced from SAR 495,000 to SAR 550,000.

The range in KSA opens with the 840i Gran Coupe, powered by BMW's 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo Inline 6-cylinder (B58) engine and offering seating for up to 5 occupants — a practical step up from the two-door Coupe for buyers who occasionally carry rear passengers. The 840i Convertible at the top of the lineup moves to an open-top body style, adding the theatre of open-air driving to the 8 Series experience at the cost of some structural rigidity and practicality. Both body styles share BMW's characteristic driver-focused cockpit layout with curved displays, M Sport exterior treatment, and xDrive all-wheel drive.

Pros: the 8 Series occupies a rare niche in KSA — a car that is genuinely luxurious enough for Riyadh's premium market while being engaging enough to reward drivers on open roads. The 840i Convertible in particular makes a strong visual statement that neither the A8 nor the G90 can replicate in this segment. Cons: the relatively compact cabin in both body styles means it cannot match the rear-seat spaciousness of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Audi A8 — buyers prioritising passenger comfort should consider those alternatives. This engine is not designed with efficiency as a primary goal and is not competitive on fuel efficiency for its class.

Residual value data specific to the 8 Series in KSA is limited due to low sales volumes, but grand tourers in this price bracket tend to retain value more closely tied to condition, specification, and colour than to brand-wide depreciation curves — a well-specified example in a desirable colour holds noticeably better than a poorly specced one.

Shoppers weighing this model usually cross-shop the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6 and Jaguar XJ before deciding.

Frequently asked questions

The 840i Convertible is a capable daily car in KSA's climate — the roof deploys quickly and the air-conditioning is effective, but the open-top body style is naturally best enjoyed in the cooler months from October through March. Boot space is more restricted than in the Gran Coupe, so buyers who regularly carry luggage or rear passengers will find the 840i Gran Coupe a more practical everyday choice.
The 840i Gran Coupe uses a four-door body with a longer roofline, giving real rear-seat access and headroom for 5 occupants — a significant usability upgrade over the two-door for buyers who carry rear passengers regularly. The two-door Coupe is lighter and arguably purer as a GT, but the 840i Gran Coupe is the more liveable daily choice.
Mechanically the 8 Series draws on powertrains used across BMW's wider lineup, which gives it a solid reliability foundation. In KSA, BMW is distributed by Mohamed Yousuf Naghi Motors, which operates authorised service centres in Riyadh, Jeddah, and other major cities — important for keeping the car's adaptive systems and electronics correctly maintained.
The Genesis G90 undercuts the 8 Series on price while offering more interior space and a more traditional luxury-saloon experience. However, the G90 does not offer a Convertible or a sports GT character — buyers cross-shopping the two often settle on the BMW when they want a more driver-focused, emotionally engaging car, and choose the Genesis when spacious rear-seat comfort and value take priority.
The 2026 8 Series range in KSA is a petrol lineup — no hybrid or electric variant is available for this model. Buyers interested in an electrified BMW grand tourer should look at the BMW i7, which sits higher in the BMW range and is available in KSA through Mohamed Yousuf Naghi Motors.
