Reviews SummaryAvailable in coupe, convertible, and sedan (Gran Coupe) body styles, the M8 is based on the BMW 8 Series and gets a full workup from the wizards who perform their magic at the BMW M division. This year, all M8 models come in Competition specification, a new 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system is standard, and a new M Carbon front bucket seat option is available. Plus, BMW offers the 2023 M8 in more exterior colours than before. | |
