M8 Convertible (2019-2025)

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

# 2019-2025 BMW M8 Convertible The BMW M8 Convertible represents the pinnacle of Munich's grand touring prowess, pairing a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 producing 600-617 horsepower (Competition trim) with an elegant drop-top body. Launched in 2019, it competes with Mercedes-AMG S63 Cabriolet and Bentley Continental GT Convertible. Reviewers praise its explosive acceleration (0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds) and sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, though some criticize its hefty 4,600-pound curb weight and somewhat numb steering feedback compared to smaller M cars. The M8 is famous for blending supercar performance with luxurious grand touring comfort. It's best suited for affluent enthusiasts seeking a high-performance convertible for spirited drives and comfortable long-distance cruising. The M8 Convertible excels as a statement piece combining practicality, luxury, and immense speed, though running costs are substantial.

The M8 Convertible requires expensive maintenance including frequent brake replacements due to high-performance use, premium fuel, and costly tire changes. Carbon-ceramic brakes are a $9,000+ option but last longer. Insurance rates are exceptionally high due to the vehicle's value and performance capabilities. Routine maintenance through BMW dealers is significantly more expensive than non-luxury vehicles.
