Go back to the M6 shape and more
Been driving M8 Competition Convertible for a couple of years now. Drove M6 for 8 years. I wish they had just put all the performance features of the M8 Comp in the M6 design and call it good. M6 Convertible looks so much nicer the the M8. Reducing the rear seat leg room, TERRIBLE idea, Who the heck came up with that idea? Rear Wind deflector, put the glass back on there. Can't believe you have to manually put the deflector on. Who wants to get out of the car after the top down is done to put the deflector on. Totally takes away the cool factor. Not to mention having the use up trunk space and remember to carry the deflector. I have been driving BMW convertibles for the past 15 years. I know what I am talking about. Did not go with ceramic brakes since the squealed like hell. The regular brakes did not make a sound for the first 10k miles. After first service dealer can't get the brakes to stop from making the embarrassing sound. If it wasn't for the trunk room and 0-60 specs, I would have definitely considered other brands. Technology factor looks too plain for a $180k car. Interior lighting not up to par compared to cheaper models.

Fast AND comfortable
A quick note to say I totally agree with the review that says bring back the built in glass rear deflector. I had a 650 convertible before the M8 and while the top looks cooler on the M8 as it’s going up or down (all at once rather than the “Batman” ears look), the lack of the rear deflector “window” makes a HUGE difference. Please bring it back!

My journey started in 2007 with a 2005 6 Series convertible, followed by 2012 & 2014 6 series convertible. I traded for a 2012 Bentley Continental Convertible, followed by 2021 Lexus LC 500 convertible. BMW made it easy to trade the Lexus for M8 Competition Convertible. I am literally blown away with it's upgraded technology and unmatched performance. Thank you BMW for perfecting the Ultimate Driving Machine 👍🏾

I have own 3 Audis S5,S6, RS5 and a Golf R. All were nice and when I tuned them they all felt fast. But the stock 22 M8 comp coupe is brutally fast. A stage 1 RS5 was fast but the M8 is faster, more solid feeling, handles better and corners sharper. It’s feels heavy which makes it easy to drive, but the power it’s still overwhelming. I’m an average driver and the M8 scares me. It hits a 100 to 120 so easy on the interstate it’s crazy. 90 feels the same as 30. The back seats are a joke, but I’m not sure you buy an M8 to be a family car. The exhaust is perfect, loud enough to irritate the wife but not overwhelm the neighborhood. Get a used one for half price. It’s not worth full sticker price, but 80k for 20k miles it’s a steal.
