The BMW M8 is Your Choice for True Luxury

The BMW M8 has been notorious for making an impression on the market because it’s bringing back the classic 8 Series that was once the crowning jewel of the BMW brand. People have been wondering for years if anything was going to come of the M version prototype and concept, but it was left untouched and undiscussed for a number of years. In 2019, BMW finally answered the call of the customers, releasing the M850i and following it with the all-new M8.

Typical BMW Power

The M8 offers a TwinPower engine with a turbo V8 in its first incarnation, giving you plenty of oomph under the gas pedal, whether you’re heading across town or doing a few laps at the track. The car can do 0 to 60 in just over three seconds and has a top speed of 189 mph with the upgraded M Driver’s package. Of course, the power and speed are reined in by a robust automatic transmission and the xDrive AWD system that BMW is known for. It’s all about the BMW driving experience, and this model delivers in every possible way.

Luxury Features Abound

The all-new M8 was designed to make a big impression, and it did just that with all-new features like a transmission-navigation link that allows your transmission to intelligently plan for upcoming shifts based on the route you’re traveling. For example, if you’re getting close to a turn, the gears will hold instead of downshifting, saving the unnecessary back-and-forth. On the inside, you’ll find all the same luxury that you expect from BMW: premium entertainment, luxury interior materials, and plenty of space and special treats throughout the cabin.

You’ll also enjoy the whisper-quiet ride that the brand is known for, with the best acoustics and handling features available. You might even forget that you’re on the road. BMW knows how to do luxury, and they have plenty of onboard and upgradable features available on the M8.

Less Flashy Exterior

Some drivers complain about the lack of exterior flair—the M8 doesn’t come standard with things like side skirts, massive vents, or mean fender flares. This model takes a sleeker approach, with a more subtle finish that includes aerodynamic curves and beautiful lines that improve performance as much as appearance. BMW has created a less aggressive, more refined vehicle in this model, and it’s proud to have done so. Drivers who take it for what it is will be pleasantly surprised.

The Final Call

It’s always hard to judge something that people have been waiting on, because the anticipation almost always outshines the reality. Fortunately, BMW has done well to create the M8 in a way that gives people almost everything they expected but with a necessary modern twist. With a luxury racing interior and the reputation of the BMW name behind it, the M8 is gaining a lot of popularity. Plus, its surprisingly low base price makes it an option for more drivers than expected.
