Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2025 BMW M8
1st generation M8 (2020-2025), late-cycle year after the 2023 update.
BMW positions the M8 as a luxury high-performance grand tourer: huge V8 power and real M-car speed wrapped in a richer, quieter, more comfortable package than a smaller sports car. The point is not stripped-down minimalism. The M8 is the fast, high-end BMW for long highway drives, dramatic styling, and everyday usability, with enough traction, cabin tech, and interior richness to feel special even when it is not being driven flat-out.
The two-door Competition coupe and convertible combine flagship-level luxury with serious performance, while the four-door Competition Gran Coupe adds more rear-seat and cargo usefulness. Every version has a 617-hp V8, selectable all-wheel-drive modes, Merino leather, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a head-up display, and Harman Kardon audio.
