Sunset Orange M850i at Circuit Park Zandvoort

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
This weekend at the DTM races at Circuit Park Zandvoort, BMW displayed the M850i xDrive in this lovely Sunset Orange colour...

...price will be very steep here in The Netherlands, but I think I like it.

Didn't realize there was an event this weekend, that would explain the amazing sounding M6 DTM I saw driving towards Den Haag on saturday evening! Can't wait for the 8 to hit dealers so I can get an in person look, fantastic photos Joop!

Many thanks for posting - superb quality photographs. I like the orange with black leather, but my wife says no and it has to be sapphire black with Fiona red/black interior! We'll see, but I think she'll win.

The Sunset Orange color looks great on the 8 but why does it look questionable on the M2C?

It was posted there's less room in the rear than the M4.

Not sure how that's possible but wish they took pics of someone sitting in the rear.

Doesn't even look like a BMW to me. Looks like an Infiniti coupe. I think these photos are also very saturated as sunset orange doesn't look like that in person it's significantly darker and duller.

Not exaggerating when I say the interior looks more befitting of the M4's price point. The black/aluminum treatment doesn't help but still. Plastic buttons everywhere, boring design, smh.

I just don't see how it measures up to any of the competitors at its price.

Does anyone else think the new 8 series looks similar in design of the old 2005 645i? The reason I said that because the trunk design is very much the same (a lot of trunk . Me personally is not a fan of this new 8 series!! It's sad to say.

the world's most expensive yet smallest almost comical OEM carbon fiber rear spoiler

The rear diffuser looks like it swallowed a carbon fiber diffuser
