M8 Competition Coupe (2019-2025)

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

The BMW M8 Competition Coupe (2019-2025) represents BMW's flagship performance coupe, powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 producing 617 horsepower. This ultra-luxury GT rivals the Mercedes-AMG S63 and Porsche 911 Turbo. Reviewers praise its explosive acceleration (0-60 mph in 3.0 seconds) and advanced all-wheel-drive system, though criticize its hefty 4,300-pound curb weight and somewhat isolated driving experience compared to more engaging sports cars. It's praised for refined grand touring capability but considered less involving than competitors. The M8 is famous for being BMW's most powerful production car and its eye-watering price tag (starting around $130,000). It's best suited for affluent buyers wanting a comfortable, luxurious daily driver with supercar-level performance—ideal for high-speed highway cruising rather than track work. Production ended in 2024.

The M8 Competition requires premium fuel, expensive high-performance tires that wear quickly, and costly brake replacements. Maintenance costs are significantly higher than standard BMWs due to twin-turbo V8 complexity. Insurance premiums are steep given the 617-hp performance capability. Carbon-ceramic brakes ($20,000+ replacement) are optional but dramatically increase ownership costs.
