Video: Short One Where the 2019 BMW M850i xDrive Gets Started Up Post Launch Event

This is a short video I'd like to share with you folks. The 8 gets started up right after the launch event ends. After dinner, the chaps at BMW Malaysia started up the M850i xDrive for a bit. Both of the cars were started up and we got to hear is sing. A little. Not a whole lot as this was a static display and we all know engines like this sing best when there is some load put to it. 

BMW Launches The 8 - A New 8 Series After a Long Absence with the M850i xDrive as the Sole Variant Offered in Malaysia

Yesterday I attended BMW Group Malaysia's launch of The 8. This, like The 7, is not like a 3, 5, or even an X5, is the flagship coupe in BMW's premium vehicle lineup.  The 8, in this 850i form, is fitted with a 4.4 liter V8 engine coupled to the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system and BMW Efficient Lightweight design measures. According to BMW, this New 8 series, the second after many, many years, is BMW's entry once again into the full-sized grand touring, sports coupe segment.
