"With muscular proportions and massive power, the 2020 BMW M8 is a bully among boulevard cruisers. ...based on the standard BMW 8-series and is available as a coupe, convertible, and Gran Coupe... Every version of the M8 boasts a mighty twin-turbo V-8 that pairs with a specialized all-wheel-drive system; it includes a rear-drive-only mode that's perfect for hanging the tail out. The M8 Competition model further maximizes performance with added horsepower, an enhanced chassis, and other bespoke bits." - Car & Driver.

The first of BMW's new 8-series family was a competition car: the M8 GTE, introduced towards the end of 2017, but it would be June 2019 before any production versions were available. The newcomers were based on BMW's CLAR platform, featuring strut and wishbone suspension at the front and a multi-link arrangement at the rear. Adaptive dampers were standard, as was BMW's xDrive (all-wheel-drive) transmission system, although this could be switched to rear-drive only. The V8 engine produced 591bhp in the regular M8 and 617 horsepower in the Competition version, with power reaching the ground via a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. Carbon ceramic brakes were an option better suited to track use. As one would expect from the foregoing, performance was more than adequate: the M8 racing to 62mph in 3.2 seconds on its way to a (limited) top speed of 155mph. And if that still wasn't enough, an optional M Driver's package was on offer, which included high-speed tyres and raised the car's maximum to 190mph.

Despite its breathtaking performance, the M8 remained a civilised daily driver: "Its cabin is beautifully crafted and loaded with luxury features and desirable technology, declared Car & Driver, which found the M8 "hugely capable and surprisingly comfortable."

This particular M8 Competition is finished in Black Sapphire, with Silverstone/Black Merino trim and was purchased by our vendor for £92,995 in December 2021 at 10,555 miles (the current odometer reading is 15,151 miles). According to the HPI it had one prior keeper. As is increasingly the case, there is no service book as such, services being recorded on the car's computer; there are three services recorded therein, the most recent dated 4th July 2022 at 11,809 miles. The most recent MOT was in August 2023 at 15,063 miles which was a clean pass with no advisories. This rare and powerful BMW supercar is offered with the 2021 purchase invoice and V5C document, and MOT valid until August 2024.
