The BMW M8 is the top specification within BMW M, positioned as a grand tourer flagship above M5 and M6. The line spans the F92 M8 Coupé, F91 M8 Convertible, and F93 M8 Gran Coupé (2019-present), all with factory-installed biturbo 4.4-litre S63 V8 (shared with F90 M5 and F95 X5 M). Regular M8 has factory-installed 600 hp; factory-installed Competition Package has factory-installed 625 hp. Limited specifications include factory-installed M8 First Edition (2019, 400 cars worldwide), factory-installed M8 Gran Coupé First Edition (2020, 400 cars), and factory-installed regular BMW Individual specifications. For collectors the M8 represents the factory-installed BMW M flagship with factory-installed M xDrive all-wheel drive, factory-installed M Carbon-ceramic brakes standard, and factory-installed M Steptronic eight-speed automatic. A BMW M8 is not sold to just any buyer; it is passed on to someone who knows the factory-installed BMW M flagship culture.
BMW M unveiled the M8 model line in 2019 as the new flagship within BMW M, positioned above the F90 M5 (factory-installed Sedan) and as a replacement for the F12/F13/F06 M6 (factory-installed Coupé/Convertible/Gran Coupé). The M8 is based on the modern 8 Series architecture (G14/G15/G16, introduced in 2018 as a replacement for the earlier 6 Series). The factory-installed M8 line includes factory-installed F92 M8 Coupé, factory-installed F91 M8 Convertible, and factory-installed F93 M8 Gran Coupé (four-door Coupé on extended wheelbase). For collectors the M8 represents the factory-installed BMW M flagship, positioned above all other M models except for factory-installed M Performance-oriented GTR projects.
The central technical point of the M8 is the factory-installed biturbo 4.4-litre S63 V8, shared with F90 M5, F95 X5 M, and F96 X6 M. Regular M8 has factory-installed 600 hp; factory-installed Competition Package has factory-installed 625 hp and factory-installed 750 Nm. From 2022 factory-installed Competition Package is the only factory-installed available specification (regular M8 without Competition Package has been discontinued). Coupled to factory-installed M Steptronic eight-speed automatic (factory-installed exclusive; no factory-installed manual version available). Factory-installed M xDrive all-wheel drive is factory-installed standard, with factory-installed three modes: factory-installed 4WD, factory-installed 4WD Sport (factory-installed more torque to the rear), and factory-installed 2WD (factory-installed exclusively rear-wheel drive, factory-installed only with DSC disengaged).
BMW M launched the M8 with factory-installed limited First Edition specifications to mark the new flagship.

The factory-installed M8 Gran Coupé First Edition (2020, F93, around 400 cars) has the same factory-installed Aurum Dust specification. For collectors factory-installed First Edition examples are substantially value-adding.
The M8 has a factory-installed race car heritage: the M8 GTE was BMW M's factory-installed official endurance race car in 2018-2021, built for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship. The M8 GTE shared the base architecture with the production M8 but had factory-installed race car-specific adaptations: factory-installed extended aerodynamics, factory-installed stripped interior, and factory-installed P63 V8 race car engine (derived from the production S63). The M8 GTE won multiple WEC and IMSA races and strengthens the factory-installed sales story of the production M8.
Since production start in 2019 the M8 has seen a substantially stable appreciation curve. Regular M8 specifications sit at factory-installed price levels consistent with the F90 M5; factory-installed Competition Package specifications are higher priced. Factory-installed First Edition examples and factory-installed BMW Individual specifications are in the highest price tier. For sellers this means a well-documented M8 with proven service history at BMW M Classic or recognised M specialist, original factory specification, factory-installed Competition Package (where applicable), and BMW Group Classic certification attracts strong international interest.
