The 2026 BMW M850i Edition M Heritage is a striking celebration of BMW’s iconic 8 Series legacy. Revealed at Pebble Beach, it blends heritage-inspired design with exhilarating performance and exclusive craftsmanship. Limited to just 500 units worldwide, it is a collector’s piece as much as it is a driver’s machine.
Design Inspired by the Original 8 Series
BMW’s design team looked back to the 1990s E31 8 Series for inspiration. Buyers can choose from five historic BMW Individual colors , Bright Red, Mauritius Blue metallic, Cosmos Black metallic, Oxford Green metallic, and Daytona Violet metallic. Each finish is paired with a carbon roof adorned with signature M tri-color stripes, making every car instantly recognizable.
Exclusive Exterior Details
The exterior is enhanced by distinctive bi-color Orbit Grey 20-inch dual-spoke alloy wheels, matching the body color. Standard features include the M Sport Professional package, M Shadowline lights, black-caliper M Sport brakes, and extended Shadowline trim for a more aggressive profile.
Interior Crafted for Heritage and Luxury
Inside, the M Sport seats are wrapped in BMW Individual Black Full Merino Leather and Alcantara, complete with diamond-pattern upholstery and M tri-color stitching. Alcantara covers the headliner, dashboard, and upper door panels, creating a cockpit that feels both luxurious and performance-focused. Special “M850i Edition M Heritage” and “1/500” inscriptions remind passengers of the car’s rarity.
Power and Performance of the 2026 BMW M850i Edition M Heritage
