THE BMW 8 SERIES COUPÉ M MODELS

The latest version of the M TwinPower Turbo V8-cylinder petrol engine guarantees performance in keeping with the latest standards. The high-revving unit develops an output of 460 kW (625 hp). The two turbochargers stand out thanks to their cross-cylinder bank exhaust manifold with optimum response characteristics. The V8 engine is also designed for extreme loads on the race track.

The optional M Carbon bucket seat with illuminated M8 logo combines the lightness and racing character of a bucket seat with the range of functions of an M sport seat. Its contouring offers perfect side support and excellent long distance comfort. It is compatible with multipoint harnesses and therefore fully suitable for racing.

A top athlete conveying pure driving pleasure: The M TwinPower Turbo V8-cylinder petrol engine features superior power delivery and the striking, characteristic M engine sound.

The intelligent BMW xDrive all-wheel drive system smoothly and variably distributes drive power to the front and rear wheels for added traction, driving dynamics and safety in every driving situation.

Integral Active Steering combines support that varies based on the steering angle on the front axle, and rear wheels that also contribute to steering.

Beginning around 37 to 49 mph, the rear wheels turn parallel to the front wheels, to increase driving stability and comfort.
