THE BMW M8 2024

 Price :- 140,000

Overview

The 2024 BMW M8 combines some baffling specs. It's as heavy as a Ford F-150, it's quicker to 60 mph than a Ferrari F8 Tributo, it rips through the quarter-mile in the same time as a Chevrolet Corvette Z06, and it does all of this with a back seat and an implacable luxury poise those others don't possess. Admittedly, the back seat isn't practical for full-grown humans. 

Even so, the M8's soothing cabin is one of the best places to experience what bodacious power delivery and all-wheel-drive traction can achieve together. Available as either a coupe or convertible (the four-door M8 Gran Coupe sedan is reviewed separately), the M8 represents the kind of comprehensively capable luxury GT we're more used to seeing with an Aston Martin or Bentley badge and a far heftier price.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The M8's long nose hides a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 that makes 617 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. It sends that power through an excellent eight-speed automatic and on to a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system that can disengage power to the front axle. After time spent in both the coupe and convertible, our only disappointment about the powertrain is the limp exhaust note. When we strapped our test gear to the 4251-pound M8 Competition coupe, we were blown away by its ridiculously quick acceleration, reaching 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds. Such explosive hustle deserves a hot-blooded song from the quad exhaust pipes. Small weaknesses emerge when pushing the M8, like minimal feedback through the thick steering wheel and a somewhat distant brake pedal feel. That said, those faults don't overshadow the enormous grip, compliant ride, and astonishing nimbleness of a two-door weighing more than two tons.

Infotainment and Connectivity

BMW's feature-packed infotainment system resides on a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The display can also be controlled by a rotary controller and physical buttons on the center console. Users enjoy crisp graphics and quick responses, but there are so many options that some menus require the driver to take their eyes off the road for far too long. The system responds well to voice commands, though, and it can be optioned with gesture controls. Desirable standard features include a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
