The uncompromising driving dynamics are taken directly from motor sport, as are the xDrive all-wheel-drive system, the M sport differential and the electromechanical roll stabilization. Together with the characteristic highly efficient and powerful drive systems, the BMW 8 series Coupé delivers maximum power – up to 460 kW (625 HP) in the M8 Competition Coupé – from a double turbocharged 8-cylinder engine. At the time, it is the most powerful engine of any BMW production vehicle. Beyond a six-figure price tag, BMWs have sometimes struggled to justify their place in a rarefied area of the market that includes competitors such as the Porsche Panamera and the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door. Both of these feel more engaging to drive and more special inside than the M8 Competition.
Official figures for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, electricity consumption and electric range were determined in accordance with the prescribed measurement procedure and comply with Regulation (EU) 715/2007 as amended. WLTP figures take into account any optional equipment in the case of ranges. For vehicles newly type-approved since 01.01.2021, the official specifications exist only according to WLTP. Further information on the NEDC and WLTP measurement methods can be found at www.bmw.de/wltp As automotive facelifts go – or Life Cycle Impulses in BMW parlance – the new M8 Competition Gran Coupé is a light one. However, look closely and you’ll realise that changes have been made. The successor to the BMW 6 Series (F13) is the ideal combination of the highest quality and maximum performance. The unique design already shows the ambition of the luxury sports coupé. The flat headlamps with optional laser lighting underline the flat, low-lying silhouette and represent a new aesthetic form. The clearly-drawn lines, muscular shoulder areas and the flat roof line combine the character of a sports car with the BMW luxury class' aspiration.It’s superbly stable at speed and doesn’t take very long to get there, sprinting from 0-62mph in just 3.2 seconds thanks to BMW’s M xDrive four-wheel-drive system. For further information about the official fuel consumption and the specific CO2 emission of new passenger cars can be taken out of the „handbook of fuel consumption, the CO2 emission and power consumption of new passenger cars“, which is available at all selling points and at https://www.dat.de/co2/. The BMW M8 has the same safety features as most normal BMWs. It’s not quite as advanced as BMW’s newer cars, such as the iX and 7 Series. So it has such safety features as lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, front collision warning with Automatic City Collision Mitigation and Braking, and Level 2 autonomous driver aids. Essentially, the M8 can brake by itself if it detects a potential crash ahead, it can make sure it doesn’t drift into other lanes, monitor its blind spots, and even accelerate, brake, and steer itself on its own while driving on the highway, for short periods of time. Competition and Advantages/Disadvantages
From the outside, the luxury sports coupé revolutionizes styling within its class with an athletic front, flowing silhouette and striking tail. The elegant side sections show off the extraordinary paint finishes which feature special shine and shimmer effects. As you’d expect from a range-topping car such as this, matrix LED headlights, a Harman Kardon sound system, four-zone climate control, adaptive cruise and lots of driver-assistance tech, such as BMW’s Parking Assistant, are fitted as standard. There is also full keyless go and a powered tailgate, while the M8 boasts BMW’s illuminated kidney grille option, although this might be a feature that repulses as many people as it excites.

sees the launch of an even more powerful version – the 850Csi – generating 280 kW (380 hp) of output with a 5.6 litre displacement. A year later, a 4.0 litre 8-cylinder engine with a power output of 210 kW (286 hp) completes the range of engines. Another version of the 12-cylinder unit, the BMW 850Ci, is available in 1994 and produces 240 kW (326 hp) with a 5.4 litre displacement. The BMW 840 is also available in a Ci version in 1995. The BMW 8 series combines the best of technology, aerodynamics and design. Avant-garde elegance and exclusive luxury unite with outstanding performance – features that are revived by the 2018 BMW 8 series (G14, G15, G16). By the end of production in 1999, more than 30,000 units of the luxury coupé have rolled off the assembly line. Tellingly, the M8 dropped to market badged M8 Competition right from the off (in the UK, at least), which makes you wonder whether the M badge is enough on its own these days. If ‘M’ isn’t inherently analogous with competition already, then how deserving of the badge are the cars, like the M8, that currently wear it?
