M8 Coupe (2019-2025)

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

# 2019-2025 BMW M8 Coupe The BMW M8 Coupe represents BMW's flagship performance grand tourer, powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 producing 600 hp (617 hp in Competition trim). Launched in 2019, it combines supercar-level acceleration with luxurious accommodations. **Critical Reception:** Reviewers praise its devastating straight-line speed and sophisticated all-wheel-drive system but often criticize its hefty 4,200-pound curb weight and somewhat numb steering feel. Many consider it more GT than pure sports car. **Notable Aspects:** Famous for its aggressive styling, sumptuous interior, and being BMW's most powerful production car. Infamous for its $130,000+ price tag and polarizing beaver-tooth grille. **Best For:** Wealthy enthusiasts seeking a daily-drivable supercar alternative for long-distance highway cruising with occasional track days. Ideal for those prioritizing comfort and straight-line performance over nimble handling dynamics.

The BMW M8 Coupe demands premium maintenance with expensive carbon-ceramic brake replacements ($15,000+), specialized tires ($2,000+ per set), and complex twin-turbo V8 servicing. Insurance costs are exceptionally high due to performance classification. Surprisingly, reliability has been relatively solid for an M car, though electrical gremlins and transmission software issues occasionally surface.
