2022 BMW M850 review

1. Impressive power 

You will be immediately impressed by the M850's gorgeous styling, but the real magic happens when you press the engine start button. You'll get a standard turbocharged 4.4L V8 making a robust 523 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. That's good for a trip to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds (according to the manufacturer, when new). You'll love that extra power, whether on a back road driving trek, a long weekend, or even a track day. 

2. Standard tech 

You will expect the latest technology, and BMW has you covered in the 2022 M850. Control your world through a nicely sized 10.25-inch touchscreen. It also has standard features like Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ smartphone integration, navigation, a head-up display, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon^® surround-sound system, a wireless device charging pad, and a digital instrument cluster. 

3. Great luxury touches 

The 2022 M850 has a ton of great standard comfort features as well. Naturally, there is standard leather upholstery, but there is so much more to love. You'll get cool soft-close doors, power-adjustable (heated and ventilated) front sport seats, a heated sport steering wheel, and multi-color ambient cabin lighting. 

4. Handling upgrades too 

Power is great, but you need a chassis to back it up. On the 2022 M850, you'll get 20-inch wheels, a sport-tuned transmission, great adaptive sport suspension, active roll stabilization, and an increased top-speed limiter (up to 180 mph from the standard 155 mph). So your favorite back road drive will be even better in your 2022 M850. 

5. Tons of upgrades 

The M850 is the top trim in the 8 Series, but there are still some optional features to look out for. The Driving Assistance package adds driver aids like blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a surround-view camera system, parking sensors, and an automated parking system. The Driving Assistance Professional package delivers adaptive cruise control, a lane-keeping system, and front cross-traffic alert.
