M8 [Video reviews] BMW 8er/M8 Coupe, Cabriolet and GranCoupe (G14/G15/G16)


The BMW M8 is the high-performance version of the BMW 8 Series (G15) marketed under the BMW M sub-brand. Introduced in June 2019, the M8 was initially produced in the 2-door convertible (F91 model code) and 2-door coupe (F92 model code) body styles. A 4-door sedan (F93 model code, marketed as 'Gran Coupe') body style was added to the lineup in October 2019. The M8 is powered by the BMW S63 twin-turbocharged V8 engine shared with the BMW M5 (F90). Official website: BMW M
I like it a lot. Great engine, nice sound, good performance. But the suspension (M850i) is way to hard.

So since they’re V8s maybe it’s the 850 they use as a base?

840i xDrive is what I've read.

The outgoing B5 has used the same V8 as the B8, and that was based on the 540i (I6), which is confirmed on Alpina's website, so I've got no reason to think the B8 couldn't also be based on an I6 model. As far as I know they pretty much put the Alpina powertrain in on BMW's production line, so I'm not even sure what 'based on' means these days - it could just be what the body shell's original VIN was destined to be.

The B8 in our market is a V8.

The interior design, its fit and finishes, very noticeable at the rear (in design somewhat different from the common BMW denominator), at the edge of the triangle of windows, seats, etc. they are very special, to spend time looking and touching them, lol, they are to die for

She looks very comfortable with space in the back, ... a super option for those who don't like the 7 series or the 5 series, without a doubt this is more special, more handcraft, and those are the colors, that is the spec inside and outside.

BMW M

BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a subsidiary of BMW AG that manufactures high-performance luxury cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport") was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines, transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany. Official website: BMW M
