M8 Gran Coupe (2019-2025)

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

The BMW M8 Gran Coupe (2019-2025) is a high-performance luxury four-door combining supercar power with practical seating. Its twin-turbo 4.4L V8 produces 600-617 hp (Competition trim), launching to 60 mph in around 3 seconds. Reviewers praise its devastating straight-line speed, sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, and opulent interior, but criticize its hefty 4,400-pound curb weight, which dulls the driving engagement compared to lighter M cars. The styling divides opinion—some find it imposing, others overly aggressive. It's famous for being BMW's flagship performance sedan and among the fastest four-doors available, yet infamous for its steep $130,000+ price tag and carbon-ceramic brake costs. Best suited for affluent enthusiasts wanting a daily-drivable grand tourer that can embarrass supercars in straight lines while comfortably transporting family or clients.

The M8 Gran Coupe demands premium maintenance: expect $1,500+ annual services, $400+ oil changes, and expensive tire/brake replacements due to performance components. Carbon-ceramic brakes ($20,000+ to replace) are optional but costly. Insurance runs high given the $130,000+ MSRP. Reliability is generally good for modern BMWs, though complex twin-turbo V8 and electronics may require costly repairs.
