The BMW 8 Series became the number one consumer-rated sedan in 2020, according to J.D. Power and Associates. BMW now delivers a 2022 model to the Bakersfield market. What makes the 8 series such a great vehicle to drive for experts and customers alike? Let’s take a look.

 
Drivability
 
The 8 series’ shorter length and lighter weight give it superior maneuverability over other cars in its class, particularly when it comes to parking. The unibody construction of its chassis gives it better handling, as well as improved durability.
 
The car also brings independent front and rear suspension, rather than a solid axle, allowing the wheels to react more quickly, and grip the road more effectively. What’s more, the driver can adjust the suspension system to their own preference. The sport setting gives them better control on narrow, curving roads. Then on longer, more straightforward trips, they can switch to a setting that makes handling easier and helps battle road fatigue.
 
Reliability
 
A number of features help the 8 series to last longer and stand up better under pressure, for a better driving experience, fewer emergencies, and fewer repairs. In January 2021, Consumer Reports ranked BMWs 4th overall in reliability. Meanwhile, J.D. Power and Associates ranked the 8 series as the best overall among large, premium cars in 2020.
 
A number of features contribute to the 8 series’ superior standing. For instance, the battery is in the trunk, rather than under the hood. This helps prevent it from overheating, thus extending the life of both the battery and the car.
 
It also delivers an overhead cam design, rather than a pushrod design. This allows for better efficiency and fewer moving parts, which helps the cart to run more smoothly at higher speeds and makes the engine easier to access.
 
Warranty
 
The 8 series is fully backed up by its warranty. The full warranty covers the entire car for 4 years or 50,000 miles. This also includes 4 years of free roadside assistance, with unlimited miles, to help you whether you run out of gas, need a jump start, or just lock your keys in your car.
 
BMW will also pay for basic service to the car at BMW of Bakersfield, for three years or 36,000 miles. This includes oil changes, lubrication, etc. Finally, the 8 series’ corrosion warranty is 8 years, with unlimited miles. Moreover, BMW of Bakersfield offers Extended Service Contracts above and beyond the original manufacturer warranty.
 
Safety
 
The 8 series includes standard passenger and driver-side airbags, for protection against impact. Additionally side-impact airbags for both the front and back of the vehicle aid in protection when roadside collisions occur.
 
With a design for safety in mind, 3-point seatbelts found within the cabin tighten automatically in the event of a sudden impact, in order to minimize injury. Moreover, the 8 series comes with PostCrash iBrake – a system that automatically applies the brakes in the event of a crash, in order to minimize damage, reduce injuries, and prevent secondary collisions.
