  <p>Outstanding performance, fascinating luxury and a confident
    appearance characterize the BMW M8 Competition Coupé (combined fuel
    consumption: 11.4 – 11.0 l/100 km according to WLTP; combined CO2
    emissions: 260 – 251 g/km), the BMW M8 Competition Convertible
    (combined fuel consumption: 11.6 – 11.2 l/100 km according to WLTP).
    LTP; combined CO2 emissions: 264 – 255 g/km) and the BMW M8
    Competition Gran Coupé (combined fuel consumption: 11.6 – 11.2 l/100
    km according to WLTP; combined CO2 emissions: 264 – 256 g/km).
    Design modifications and optimized operation.</p>
  <p>The new edition of the BMW M8, which is available in three body
    versions, is particularly popular with additions to the range of
    exterior colours and the M alloy wheels. Additional possibilities
    for individualising the appearance are provided by the M lights
    Shadow Line, which are available for the first time for the
    luxurious high-performance sports cars. Full leather
    Merino/Alcantara in the new Black/Sakhir Orange colour variant
    provides fresh impulses in the interior. In addition, the operating
    comfort is increased by the 12.3-inch touch display of the BMW
    iDrive operating system.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Fresh impetus for the presence of BMW M GmbH in the luxury segment.</strong></p>
  <p>The BMW M8 Competition Coupé, the BMW M8 Competition Convertible
    and the BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupé together mark the top position
    in the model range of BMW M GmbH, which has a strong presence in the
    luxury segment with this model series. With their independent body
    concepts, the three top models each embody an individual expression
    of M of typical performance in the prestigious competitive
    environment of luxury sports cars.</p>
  <p>Their central common feature is the drive and chassis technology
    designed for an extremely emotional driving experience. Power for
    outstanding performance is provided by a V8 engine with M TwinPower
    Turbo technology, which mobilizes a maximum output of 460 kW/625 hp
    and a maximum torque of 750 Nm. Due to its typical M high-speed
    character, the engine develops high drive torque over wide load
    ranges, which is optimally placed on the road via an 8-speed M
    Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic and the M xDrive all-wheel
    drive system. Their precise coordination enables exciting sporty
    driving manoeuvres, such as accelerating from a standstill to 100
    km/h in just 3.2 seconds (BMW M8 Competition Coupé and BMW M8
    Competition Gran Coupé) or 3.3 seconds (BMW M8 Competition Convertible).</p>
  <p>A chassis technology developed with racing know-how and tailored to
    each model guarantees the characteristic harmony of dynamics,
    agility and precision in driving behaviour of BMW M Automobile in
    every situation. The experience gained during the development of the
    BMW M8 GTE racing car was also used.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Eight new exterior colours, premiere for M luminaires Shadow Line.</strong></p>
  <p>Powerful shapes, generous, elegant surfaces, aerodynamically
    optimised lines and M-specific design features that are geared to
    the functional requirements of a high-performance sports car
    characterise the unmistakable appearance of the BMW M8 Competition
    Coupé, the BMW M8 Competition Convertible and the BMW M8 Competition
    Gran Coupé. The clear surface design of the exterior is now
    particularly intensively underlined by new exterior colours. The
    update in the body painting program includes eight variants
    available for the first time for the three models.</p>
  <p>The new range includes the exterior colours Skyscraper grey
    mectallic, Brooklyn grey metallic and Isle of Man green metallic as
    well as the BMW Individual lacquer tansanite blue metallic. In
    addition, four new variants of the particularly high-quality Frozen
    finishes are available, which impressively highlight the modern
    design language of the BMW M8 models with their silk-matt finishes.
    The BMW Individual special finishes Frozen Pure Grey metallic,
    Frozen Deep Grey metallic, Frozen Deep Green metallic and Frozen
    Tanzanite Blue metallic are also available.</p>
  <p>The BMW Laser Light with adaptive cornering light and glare-free
    main beam assistant BMW Selective Beam provides optimized visibility
    in different weather conditions and driving situations as standard.
    As an option, they are now also available as M lamps Shadow Line for
    the new edition of high-performance sports cars. The dark design of
    the inserts and chrome elements inside the headlamps, in combination
    with the high-gloss black frame of the BMW kidney as standard,
    contributes to a particularly striking and sporty look on the front
    of the vehicle.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>New 20 inch M light alloy wheels in star-spoke design.</strong></p>
  <p>The chassis technology of the new BMW M8 models includes
    electronically controlled shock absorbers and an electromechanical M
    Servotronic steering system, as well as an integrated brake system
    that enables the display of two pedal characteristics. This allows
    the rider to choose between a comfort-oriented and a sporty-direct
    pedal feeling. As an alternative to the standard M Compound brake
    system, an optional M Carbon ceramic brake is available.</p>
  <p>The DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) driving stability system allows
    the driver to activate the M Dynamic Mode, which allows greater
    wheel slip. In combination with the rear-wheel-driven design of the
    M xDrive, particularly sporty driving maneuvers including controlled
    drifts can be experienced. The standard equipment also includes
    20-inch M light alloy wheels equipped with high-performance tyres in
    the sizes 275/35 R 20 front and 285/35 R 20 rear. Other M light
    alloy wheels in the same format are available as special equipment,
    including a new variant in star-spoke design and in bicolor
    black/grey version.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>M sports seats and M Carbon bucket seats in new
      leather/Alcantara variant.</strong></p>
  <p>The interior of the new BMW M8 models combines a typical M cockpit
    design with modern luxury. The standard BMW Head-Up Display offers
    M-specific displays. The Setup button on the center console allows
    direct access to the settings for the engine, damper, steering, M
    xDrive and brake system. Two variants of the individually created M
    Setup can be permanently stored together with the preferred settings
    for the drive sound, the gearshift characteristic, the driving
    stability control and the Auto Start Stop function. They can then be
    accessed by pressing one of the two M buttons on the steering wheel.
    In addition, the M Mode button on the centre console can be used to
    control the driver assistance systems as well as the displays in the
    instrument cluster and the head-up display. You can select the
    settings ROAD, SPORT and TRACK.</p>
  <p>The standard M sports seats also support the intensive driving
    experience in the high-performance sports car. The optionally
    available M Carbon bucket seats create an unadulterated racing
    feeling for the driver and passenger. With their structure-based
    design, visible carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) surfaces,
    integrated headrests, openings in the backrests and side cheeks and
    guides for multi-point seat belts, they combine racing functionality
    with long-distance comfort and luxurious workmanship. They are
    heated and also offer electrical adjustment options, an illuminated
    “M8” lettering on the headrests and a memory function on the
    driver’s side.</p>
  <p>In combination with the M Sports seats and the M Carbon bucket
    seats, a full-leather Merino/Alcantara trim is standard on board the
    new BMW M8 models. It is now also available for the first time in
    the colour combination Black/Sakhir Orange. In addition, the black
    Alcantara dimensions in all versions of this equipment are now being
    extended to the instrument panel and the upper areas of the door sills.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Optimized operating comfort thanks to 12.3-inch control display.</strong></p>
  <p>The BMW Live Cockpit Professional is also part of standard
    equipment in the BMW M8 Competition Coupé, BMW M8 Competition
    Convertible and BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupé. It includes a control
    display whose screen size has now grown from 10.25 to 12.3 inches.
    The touch function of the large on-board monitor allows a
    particularly fast, comfortable and intuitive operation of numerous
    vehicle functions.</p>
  <p>The BMW Live Cockpit Professional includes the online navigation
    system BMW Maps and the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. In
    addition, the standard equipment with the Driving Assistant, the
    Parking Assistant including reversing assistant, the telephony with
    wireless charging and the Harman Kardon Surround Sound System
    underlines the exclusive character of the new BMW M8 models.</p></div>
