BMW M8
Car and Driver reports the 2025 BMW M8 Coupe will end production early the following year, with no plans for a 2026 model year, after a bulletin was sent to BMW dealers informing them that new orders are no longer being accepted and that 2025 would be the final model year for the coupe, according to a report from BMWBlog. RoadLancer says the BMW M8 Competition used a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing 617 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, occupying a space in the automotive market few vehicles manage to inhabit convincingly: the intersection of genuine supercar performance and legitimate grand touring capability. Carsfrenzy says BMW USA never listed a 2026 M8 on its website, and points buyers toward the BMW M850i xDrive, a same-platform, 2026-run-out 8 Series with a detuned 523-hp version of the twin-turbo V8, as the closest replacement.

What it was
RoadLancer (opens in a new tab) says the BMW M8 Competition used a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing 617 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, occupying a space in the automotive market that very few vehicles manage to inhabit convincingly: the intersection of genuine supercar performance and legitimate grand touring capability, without meaningful compromise in either direction.
The closest replacement
Carsfrenzy (opens in a new tab) says BMW USA never listed a 2026 M8 on its website, and that the model was removed from configurators earlier, pointing to the BMW M850i xDrive, a same-platform 2026 run-out 8 Series with a detuned 523-hp version of the twin-turbo V8, as a more affordable alternative still available in limited numbers.

Background and safety record
What public sources say about the BMW M8.
The BMW M8 is the high-performance version of the BMW 8 Series (G15) marketed under the BMW M sub-brand. Introduced in June 2019, the M8 was initially produced in the 2-door convertible (F91 model code) and 2-door coupe (F92 model code) body styles. A 4-door sedan (F93 model code, marketed as 'Gran Coupe') body style was added to the lineup in October 2019.
- Specifications
- The M8 is based on the BMW CLAR platform, with strut and wishbone suspension at the front and multi-link suspension at the rear. Adaptive dampers are standard equipment. The all-wheel-drive system (called xDrive) has the ability to decouple its front axle to make the car purely rear-wheel-drive, a feature first introduced on the M5.
- Performance
- Performance figures include a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time of 3.2 seconds, 0–200 km/h (124 mph) acceleration time of 10.8 seconds (10.6 seconds for the M8 Competition) and a limited top speed of 264 km/h (164 mph).
- Motorsport
- The racing version of the M8 called the M8 GTE was introduced at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show. The car made its competitive debut at the 2018 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the FIA WEC for the 2018 season marking BMW's return to Le Mans after 6 years.
