M8 Competition Convertible (2019-2025)

Can you afford a 2019-2025 BMW 8 Series M8 Competition Convertible in 2025?

# 2019-2025 BMW M8 Competition Convertible The BMW M8 Competition Convertible represents the pinnacle of the brand's grand touring lineup, combining luxury and ferocious performance. Its twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 produces 617 horsepower, rocketing to 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds—remarkable for a nearly two-ton convertible. Reviewers praise its relentless acceleration and sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, though some criticize its heavy weight, numb steering feel, and stiff ride quality that compromises comfort. The M8 Competition is famous for blurring the lines between supercar performance and boulevard cruiser refinement. It's best suited for affluent buyers seeking a high-speed, open-air GT for cross-country journeys rather than track enthusiasts. At over $150,000, it competes with the Mercedes-AMG S63 Cabriolet and Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet, offering breathtaking speed with sumptuous appointments.

The M8 Competition Convertible requires expensive maintenance including $1,500+ annual oil changes, $2,000+ brake jobs, and costly carbon-ceramic brake replacements ($15,000+). Premium fuel mandatory. Insurance rates are exceptionally high due to performance classification. Turbos and electronics can be problematic. Depreciation is steep. Extended warranty strongly recommended given complex twin-turbo V8 and technology systems.
