M8

The 2025 BMW M8 occupies a considerable territory in the intersection of the three dimensions of speed, luxury and weight. A twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine worthy of the M badge served as the main driving force, ensuring that the two-ton personal express train performed far beyond what its slim and low-key appearance implied. The M8 is available in both coupe and convertible body forms, both of which can complete a quarter-mile in less than 11 seconds in straight line acceleration and generate more than 1.0 G of traction in corners. However, the M8 has never forgotten to take good care of passengers with thick leather and BMW's typical function-following interior layout and design-with a touch of Germanic style. Although it is defined as a four-seater car, the rear seats are more a theoretical assumption than a physical existence and are best used only for backpack and luggage. If this makes you unable to accept it, you can check out the four-door M8 Gran Coupe that was reviewed separately. As for its weight, the M8 feels as if it was milled from a whole piece of metal. This solidity explains to a certain extent its kerb mass of more than two tons. But as it stands, the M8 coupe and convertible versions are still a strong testament to the art of creating large, fast and affordable personal cars, following the style of a classic GT sports car.
