The BMW 8 Series has been named a 2019 Wards 10 Best Interiors

Wards has this to say about the M850i interior:

Eight Wards editors based in Southfield, MI, selected the best interiors from a list of 32 nominated vehicles with all-new or significantly improved cabins available in the U.S.

Test drives in Metro Detroit were conducted in February and March, and judges scored each vehicle on design aesthetic, comfort, ergonomics, materials, fit-and-finish and the user-friendliness of displays and controls. There is no price cap for 10 Best Interiors.

This year’s honorees in alphabetical order (price listed as tested):

Bentley Continental GT ($276,730)
BMW M850i ($119,295)
Genesis G70 ($44,895)
Hyundai Santa Fe ($39,905)
Jeep Gladiator ($51,245)
Lincoln Nautilus ($67,630)
Mercedes-Benz A220 ($51,935)
Nissan Kicks ($23,330)
Toyota RAV4 ($39,565)
Volvo V60 ($54,690)

Like the Continental GT, BMW’s new M850i sport coupe is filled with sumptuous leather-wrapped surfaces and authentic metallic trim that make it both warm and cool inside.

The dominant color scheme in our test vehicle was tasteful saddle-brown Tartufo and black, with exceedingly supportive seats (and adjustable thigh cushions) accentuated by contrast black piping, thick bolsters and perforated fine-grain Merino leather stitched in artsy U-shaped elements that stack like vertebrae down the center of the seatback.

Our judges loved the mirrored iDrive and volume knobs, as well as the crystalline gear shifter and distinctive textured aluminum on the center console. The M850i also got high marks for ergonomics, brilliant displays and lightning-fast voice recognition that lets the driver ask for or adjust climate, entertainment and navigation functions with natural speech.

We also tested the BMW 330i sedan and X5 CUV, and they both scored highly with our judges. But the M850i takes the brand’s interiors to another level.
