Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

It's 9 inches longer, 1.2 inches wider and 2.2 inches taller than the 8 Series Coupe, and its wheelbase is almost 8 inches longer, too.

Its rear track is 1.2 inches wider than the coupe, as well, which happens to give it the widest rear track of any BMW.

The windshield's rake is lower, which adds headroom for both rows of occupants.

The rear glass is steeper than the coupe's, in order to expand the trunk opening.

A glass moonroof is standard, but M850i xDrive variants can opt for a carbon-fiber roof instead.
