A high-performance engine is just one of the performance features built into a BMW 8 Series from Bert Smith BMW.

A 617 HP V8

BMW's available 4.4 Liter V8 available produces 617 horsepower. The strength of the 4.4L V8 takes an 8 Series model from 0-60 so quickly that onlookers will have to use the rumble of the adjustable exhaust to track the car's movement.

An Automatic/Standard Transmission

Do you prefer an automatic transmission for ease of use or a manual gearbox that gives you more control over your car's performance? With a BMW Drivelogic transmission, you can have both. Drive in automatic mode for easy cruising. To take greater command of how your 8 Series model performs, switch to manual mode.

Configurable Braking

Effective braking is an essential part of 8 Series performance. BMW's Integrated Braking System allows drivers to fine-tune slowing and stopping for optimum control on St. Petersburg streets.
