2022 BMW M8 & 8-Series Facelift: Coupé, Gran Coupé & Convertible

With striking design modifications to the exterior and an interior that has been further developed in numerous details, premium carmaker BMW has honed the profile of its luxury sports cars. A redesigned front section makes for an exterior look that is as dynamic as it is elegant. In addition, all model variants of the new BMW 8-Series Coupé, the new BMW 8-Series Convertible and the new BMW 8-Series Gran Coupé come with an M sports package as standard. This means that the interior likewise conveys an even more intensely focused impression of driving pleasure. Operating convenience and connectivity are optimised by an enlarged 12.3-inch Control Display for the BMW iDrive system.

More than ever, the luxury sports cars of the BMW 8-Series embody a passion for inspiring performance and exclusive style. The BMW "Iconic Glow" kidney, which is standard on all model variants, now adds a particularly expressive accentuation to the exterior. On the inside, the BMW Individual Merino leather upholstery - now a standard feature - contributes to the luxurious ambience.

The BMW M8 Competition Coupé, BMW M8 Competition Convertible and BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupé all stand out with their blend of sublime performance, captivating luxury and commanding presence. In spring 2022, BMW M GmbH will sharpen the profile of its high performance luxury sports cars with the introduction of well-conceived modifications to their design and upgrades for their control and operation technology.

Available in three body styles, the latest edition of the BMW M8 makes its mark with new additions to the range of exterior colours and M light-alloy wheels. M lights Shadow Line will be available for the luxurious high performance models for the first time, opening up extra scope for customising their appearance. Meanwhile, full Merino leather Alcantara upholstery in the new Black Sakhir Orange colour scheme brings extra freshness to the cabin. The BMW iDrive operating system now also comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display for greater ease of use.

BMW M GmbH boosts its presence in the luxury segment

The BMW M8 Competition Coupé, BMW M8 Competition Convertible and BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupé represent the pinnacle of the BMW M GmbH model line-up, and give the brand a strong presence in the luxury segment. Thanks to their specific body concepts, the range-topping trio bring their own individual interpretations of signature M performance to the highly prestigious world of luxury sports cars.

Powertrain and chassis technology engineered to deliver an exhilarating driving experience is a key element of all three models. The power for the cars' formidable performance is generated by a V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology that develops maximum output of 460 kW 625 hp and peak torque of 750 Nm (553 lb-ft). In customary M fashion, the engine's appetite for revs enables it to produce high levels of torque over a wide rpm band, while an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic and the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system ensure this power is channelled to the road to optimum effect. The various powertrain elements work together with great precision to deliver sports performance that satisfies and excites - such as 0 to 100 km h (62 mph) acceleration in just 3.2 seconds (BMW M8 Competition Coupé and BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupé) or 3.3 seconds (BMW M8 Competition Convertible).

Chassis technology developed using expertise from motor sport and individually tuned for each specific model ensures the harmonious mix of dynamism, agility and precision that marks out the handling of cars from BMW M. Experience garnered in the development of the BMW M8 GTE racing car was also brought to bear here.

Eight new exterior colours, premiere for M lights Shadow Line

The unmistakable visual appearance of the BMW M8 Competition Coupé, BMW M8 Competition Convertible and BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupé is defined by their powerful forms, generously sized, elegantly sculpted surfaces, aerodynamic lines and M-specific design features geared to the functional requirements of a high-performance sports car. New exterior colours now bring extra impact to the body's clean surface design. The updated selection of exterior paint finishes for the trio of models includes eight new shades.
