The M8 Competition Gran Coupe's 4.4-liter V-8 engine delivers 617 horsepower and features track-ready cooling systems, a Twin Scroll Bi-Turbo, and a uniquely designed dual oil pan that maintains oil pressure during intense maneuvers. An 8-speed M Sport Transmission adjusts from smooth to aggressive with the three-stage Drivelogic shifting system. Or take a hands-on approach with M gearshift paddles for manual shifting.
The standard Active M Differential automatically reacts to driving conditions for more traction in real time. And the intelligent M xDrive allows you to adapt power distribution with distinct 4WD, 4WD Sport, and 2WD modes. The standard 6-piston front M compound brakes are connected to BMW’s Integrated Brake System for adjustable responsiveness and feel. Choose black or red calipers – or upgrade to gold-calipered Carbon Ceramic brakes.
M Compound brakes deliver sporty dynamics to your M. The ventilated, drilled brake discs work with the stunning 6-piston red calipers with M logo to apply aggressive braking power, while lightweight construction further improves the handling response and deceleration of your high-performance BMW, making these wheels perfect for competitive driving.
The four-door Gran Coupe body is crafted for a long, sloping silhouette, broad shoulders, and a wide stance. A standard carbon fiber roof completes the look, while reducing vehicle weight.
Large side air breathers and standard 20" wheels in model-specific designs are a nod to a performance-centered mindset found only in this beautiful Gran Coupe.
The aggressive front apron, air intakes, and sleek double-bar kidney grille reduce drag and optimize performance while creating a powerful first impression that's entirely BMW.
The influence of BMW M is found throughout the interior. The instrument cluster, M Head-up Display, and high-focus Track Mode bring the intensity of sport driving, while available Full Merino Leather upholstery and M Seat Belts add a touch of luxury.
Passengers front and rear are offered three levels of seating warmth. At the touch of a button, seat cushions and backrests are quickly heated to each individual's preferred setting.
Bowers & Wilkins® Diamond Surround Sound System has it all: 16 speakers - including exclusive Diamond Dome tweeters, 1,400 watts of audio power, 10 fully active amplification channels, QuantumLogic Surround/Dynamic Sound Equalizing via measuring microphone and three analog crossover networks for consistent sound quality.
Seeing a 3D, 360° view of your surroundings in the control display makes it easier to monitor approaching traffic and maneuver in tight spaces. Images from multiple cameras around the vehicle are combined with 3D computer graphics to form an enhanced all-around version of the Surround View. Top View and 3D views are shown next to each other on the iDrive display for an even better overview when parking. The driver can select from prescribed Side, Rear and Top Views, or freely range among them.
OK to change lanes? A radar sensor monitors the area around your BMW and triggers an illuminated triangular LED light in the exterior mirror to warn you that there’s a vehicle in your blind spot or approaching at a high speed. If you then start to cross lanes, you will feel a slight vibration in your steering wheel - a secondary caution to remain in your lane.
Active Park Distance Control uses ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers to help you judge the distance to other vehicles and unseen objects when parking. The system uses an audible warning that beeps faster the closer you get to an object, turning into a constant tone when the distance is less than 12 inches. Automatic braking will engage when stationary objects are detected as you back up slowly, or if there are obstacles in the immediate vicinity in front of or behind the vehicle.
