Luxurious Interior The interior boasts Merino leather upholstery, M-specific displays, and customizable ambient lighting, blending luxury with a sporty ambiance.
Discontinued in the U.S. Market As of early 2025, BMW has discontinued the M8 Coupé in the U.S. market, ceasing new orders for this model.
Multiple Body Styles The M8 is available in three body styles: Coupé, Convertible, and Gran Coupé, catering to different preferences for performance and practicality.
