2026 BMW M850i Edition M Heritage is a Retro-Hued Farewell

BMW is making a special new car called the 2026 M850i Edition M Heritage, with (subtle) inspiration from the 8 Series of the 1990s. This new car is very limited — only 500 will be made, and they will be sold in just a few countries around the world.

The outside of the car comes in five classic paint colors that were used on the original 8 Series many years ago. These colors are Bright Red, Mauritius Blue, Cosmos Black, Oxford Green, and Daytona Violet. The car also has a carbon fiber roof with three colored stripes and 20-inch gray wheels made just for this model.

The inside of the car is designed to look sporty and fancy. It has special seats made of black leather and Alcantara, which is a soft, suede-like material. The seats have a diamond pattern and include stitching in three different colors. Even the seat belts, door panels, and dashboard have these colorful details. There is a small “M” badge on each front seat headrest that does not light up.

Other cool features inside include a glass gear shifter, a carbon fiber center console, and special signs on the doors and cupholder cover that say “M850i Edition M Heritage” and show the car is “1 of 500.”

The car comes with lots of features already included, like a high-end Bowers & Wilkins sound system and driver assistance technology to help keep you safe. The only choice buyers have to make is what color they want.

Like all M850is, the Edition M Heritage has a 4.4-liter V8 engine with 523 horsepower. It can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, and the top speed is 155 miles per hour. It uses BMW’s all-wheel-drive system to help it stay in control on the road.

The price of the car starts at $131,575, plus delivery fees. BMW will start building the car in November 2025, and people will begin getting their cars in early 2026.
