What’s the 2025 BMW M8 all about? Everything you expect from BMW: speed, luxury, space, and a premium subcompact coupe that’s perfect for daily driving but equally at home on the racetrack. Here’s why drivers are talking about it.
This offering from BMW, also known as the M8 Competition Coupe, starts out strong with a 4.4 L, twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Combine that with an eight-speed sport transmission, selectable drive modes, and standard all-wheel drive, and you get all the traction you need whether you’re on wet or dry roads and the stability to take corners at speed. This engine turns out 617 hp and 553 pound-feet of torque.
But it’s not just about power. For a truly powerful, controlled, and comfortable ride, you need all the great features that BMW has built in to allow for perfect handling and a wonderful ride feel. For example, there’s the adaptive suspension system, a power-assisted and even speed-sensitive steering, and an electro-mechanical limited-slip differential. Then there’s the brake system, which has been specially designed to give you perfect control. It comes with more than just the standard hill assist that comes on lots of cars: this system can both hold and regulate brake pressure going up or down hills.
What’s on the Outside
Even at the base trim, the Competition Coupe comes with auto-dimming glass on the driver’s side, heated and power-folding side mirrors, and rain-detecting front windshield wipers that automatically adjust their speed to keep up with the speed of the rainfall and your driving. Those windshield wipers also get some heated jets that will blast the frost away.
Then you get BMW’s specially designed cornering lights that will shine on curbs whenever you turn so you can make your turns with confidence. The headlights auto-level and are directionally adaptive. And there are perimeter lights that will come on as you get close to your car. This illuminates all the space around the vehicle to make it easier for you to get in, as well as safer.
What’s on the Inside
It would not be a BMW if it were not the last word in luxury, so the driver and the front passenger get 14-way, power-adjustable front seats with heated armrests as well as heated seats. The steering wheel is heated and leather-wrapped, and it has an auto tilt-away feature that comes standard. The rearview mirror will auto-dim automatically in response to the brightness of headlights behind you. There’s room for four in the Competition Coupe, and even with it filled up, you get 14.8 ft.³ of cargo space.
