Among the several vehicles escorting the Real Madrid parade were two stunning, custom-painted 8 Series convertibles. As seen in the images, the carmaker customised these special edition units with the club’s iconic badge and 36 La Liga insignia along with a bold ‘Campeones’ graphic on the rear fender. Besides that, a similar ‘36 La Liga’ graphic, finished in white and gold, was also adorning the hood. Otherwise, the cars remained unchanged in terms of interiors and overall design.

While the exact variant of the cars couldn’t be confirmed at present, the 8 Series Cabriolet comes at a starting sticker price of 1,24,100 Euros (approximately Rs 1.11 crore), ex-showroom.
