If BMW has trouble in a single area notably, it’s that regardless of how pricey a model may be, the within always feels in a roundabout manner, type, or kind, like an evolution of an on a regular basis 3 Sequence. That’s to not say the Merino leather-based upholstery of the 8 Sequence isn’t luxurious, or the heated 14-way power-adjustable sports activities actions seats aren’t extraordinarily cozy and supportive. It’s obtained all the efficiency – power-adjustable steering, a heated steering wheel, heated entrance armrests, arguably the best dual-zone native climate administration system spherical, and computerized soft-close doorways – but it surely absolutely lacks the specialness of various grand tourers at this stage. An S-Class Cabriolet feels additional opulent, an Aston Martin DB11 Volante additional spectacular, and the 8 Sequence… properly, it seems like an opulent 5 Sequence – acquainted and easy to work along with, nonetheless lastly uninspired.
It’s not primarily probably the most smart, each, although not many are at this stage. The two entrance occupants are graciously accommodated with an abundance of head and legroom, and ample ranges of adjustability. Nevertheless the 2 inside the rear are pressured into tight quarters, with seats not capable of accommodating your widespread teenager. Merely 29.5 inches of legroom is all the rear occupants get – 10 inches decrease than the rear seats of a Honda Match. Like many a drop-top grand tourer, three’s a crowd in relation to the 8 Sequence Convertible, whatever the claimed four-seater capabilities.
