BMW X8 2021: First Details, Photos & Colors

The rumors about a BMW X8 are growing: the monstrous SUV coupe could be placed above the X7 and come in three engine variants. Also as X8 M!

The rich are always richer and richer, the records broken are always greater, science evolves at a frantic pace, in short, pushing the limits of what is possible and this is something that also applies to the ‘automobile.

Only a few years ago, the BMW X6 was the largest SUV the Bavarian automaker offered and the latter was also described as an industry giant. Still, consumers always want more and that’s why BMW created the X7, a larger-than-life SUV. However, it seems that the limit of the extreme is not there since what seems to be the next step in this evolution, the X8, was seen on the roads a few weeks ago.

Ironically, this is not the first time that rumors about the X8 have surfaced on the web and I would even say that the first appearances of the model date back to 2019. However, today it is no longer a question of an “if”, but a “when”.

We already know that the BMW X8 will be based on the same platform as the X7 and that it will act as a more refined and sporty version of the latter, much as is the case with the X3 / X4 and X5 / X6. Anyway, that would mean that the 2 SUVs from the Bavarian manufacturer will share the same engines. Right now, the X7 offers a small 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine that produces 335 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque in its entry-level trim. Next comes a first 4.4-liter V8 with 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque.

And to finish, the SUV of the German manufacturer is even entitled to an XB7 Alpina version whose 4.4-liter V8 delivers 612 horsepower and 599 lb-ft of torque, which is simply mind-blowing. BMW X7 can complete the 0-100 in just 4.2 seconds. However, the BMW X7 does not offer an X7M version as such and this is where the BMW X8 could stand out from its little brother, as several rumors about an X8M are already starting to circulate on the web.

However, as I mentioned before, the rich are getting richer and it is not a vehicle aimed at the middle class. In short, with SUVs like the Lamborghini Urus, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and the Aston Martin DBX on the market, I believe that a BMW X8 will have no trouble finding its place in the sights of men and women. businesswomen.

The color list!

It seems that some information about the BMW X8 has already started to leak on the web and for this reason, we were able to get our hands on the color list. In short, here it is;

  • Tanzanite Blue Metallic II
  • Riverside Blue Metallic
  • Mineral White Metallic
  • Manhattan Green Metallic
  • Jet Black
  • Flamenco Red Metallic
  • Dark Graphite Metallic
  • Carbon Black Metallic
  • Black Sapphire Metallic
  • Arctic Gray Metallic
  • Ametrin Metallic
  • Alpine White

For now, no market date has been announced by the Bavarian manufacturer, but rumors want the BMW X8 to be able to enter the market as soon as 2020, and this, as a 2021 model. After all that, it makes you wonder if the Bavarian manufacturer has finished or if the latter is even thinking bigger for its range of SUVs. If you’ve seen the new 4 Series with its huge grille, you’ll understand what I’m talking about here when I refer to the brand’s grandiosity ideas. In short, don’t be surprised if BMW announces the launch of an X9 and even an X10 in the next year!
