2024 BMW M8

Price Range: $103,000 - $104,299

Great

Both mind-bending speed and transcontinental comfort are hallmarks of the new 2024 BMW M8 convertible. In its 617-horsepower Competition trim, the M8's breadth of abilities never ceases to impress. If only its interior wasn't so cluttered with buttons, and the trunk space wasn't so affected by the convertible top, we'd have a tough time finding any meaningful competition.Read full review

What's new

BMW makes no changes to the 2024 M8
Part of the first M8 generation introduced for 2020

Overview

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

Updated: 4/8/2026

When a BMW wears an M badge, it's been engineered and tuned for maximum performance. Among the automaker's cars, the 2024 M8 sits at the top of an accomplished lineup of M-tuned models, serving as the flagship of the M lineup and capable of accelerating to 60 mph in a touted 3 seconds flat. It is available in coupe and convertible body styles and is priced high enough that if you must ask, you can't afford it. (Edmunds reviews the M8 Gran Coupe sedan separately.)

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Rex Tokeshi-Torres

Great

8.1

out of 10

We drove the 2024 BMW M8 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

9/10

How does the M8 Convertible drive? Acceleration from a standstill beggars belief. We recorded a 0-60 mph time of 3 seconds. That's quick enough to dust off most any non-supercar, let alone most convertibles. It also ripped past the quarter mile in only 11.1 seconds at 123.6 mph. Better yet, the M8 convertible in Competition form can deploy that power all day thanks to its impressive all-wheel-drive system.

But the M8 is anything but high-strung. With plenty of low-end torque, its intelligent transmission tuning all but eliminates unnecessary shifts and provides you with ample and immediate power.

That all-wheel-drive system does what it can to offset the M8 convertible's somewhat portly 4,500-pound curb weight. The BMW delivers neck-stretching grip and loads of confidence through medium- and high-speed bends. We wish the steering delivered more feedback, but that's a common complaint with modern BMWs. We weren't particularly fond of the somewhat grabby feel of the carbon-ceramic brakes since that made it tricky to stop smoothly in city traffic. Performance braking is nonetheless impressive. Our test car stopped from 60 mph in a scant 104 feet, and there was no fade after repeated stops.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the M8 Convertible? You can't build a grand-touring convertible without offering high levels of comfort and the ability to sustain them over a day's worth of driving. The M8 convertible does exactly that, offering accommodating yet supportive seats, a well-insulated cabin (especially for a convertible) and an exceptional ride.

A smooth ride quality is one of the hallmarks of the M8 Competition convertible, balancing excellent body control with good impact absorption. Only a slightly soft Comfort setting earns a mild demerit. We're very impressed.

The climate control works well but can be difficult to decipher even if you mainly leave it in Auto mode. Activating seat heating or ventilation requires multiple steps, and we found the ventilation, even at its highest setting, to be marginal. We'd also skip the optional Neck Warmer option since the warm air it blows on your neck all but vanishes at speeds over 30 mph.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? Getting into the M8 convertible is relatively easy so long as you have room to open the long doors. The car's relatively typical ride height means you don't have to plop down much to get in. And once there, the front passenger will have ample room to stretch out and the driver can dial in a near-perfect seating position. Rear passengers won't fare quite as well, but adults can fit for short rides. That's more than can be said for the back seats in a 911.

Typical for higher-end BMWs, there's a lot going on in the M8 convertible. Buttons abound, whether on the steering wheel, the center console or around the shift lever. Some controls, including BMW iDrive, are immediately familiar, while others, such as the climate control and steering wheel-mounted cruise control settings, require a second glance or, worse, additional selections on the touchscreen.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The M8 has an excellent suite of advanced driver aids and a near state-of-the-art virtual voice assistant emulating Mercedes-Benz's popular MBUX system. Both areas still fall a bit short of what Mercedes offers, but they provide convenience when it comes to easing the burden of rush-hour traffic or turning on your seat ventilation without lifting a finger.

The optional Bowers & Wilkins audio system delivers solid sound and feels worth the price, especially with some competitor systems costing twice as much. It's even effective with the top down at highway speeds. The M8 also comes with onboard navigation that's easy to use. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, both with wireless connectivity, is included.

Storage

6.5/10

How’s the storage? It can be tough to criticize the trunk space in a convertible, but the BMW M8 is neither small nor inexpensive. As such, we expected a bit more efficient use of space. With the top up, the M8 has a decent capacity of 12.4 cubic feet. That puts it well ahead of a 911 Turbo Cabriolet and the Lexus LC 500 convertible, which both have less than 5 cubic feet.

But all that capacity vanishes if you'd like to put the top down as you need to deploy a trunk divider, which essentially leaves space for two half-full grocery bags. The rear seats do fold for longer items (assuming the top is up) but the opening is quite narrow.

It's much better on the inside, where both front passengers will find ample room for their personal effects, especially in the long, padded door pockets. The rear seats do have anchors for car seats, but they're better used for holding bags and jackets.

Fuel Economy

8/10

How economical is the M8 Convertible? The EPA estimates that the M8 convertible returns 17 mpg combined (15 city/22 highway). Those numbers are similar to competitors' figures. In our time with the M8 convertible, we found it easy to both exceed the EPA's estimates as well as come nowhere close to them. For example, it returned a credible 21.5 mpg in light traffic over our 115-mile evaluation route. But when we turned its 617 hp loose on a few of our favorite roads, the fuel economy hovered just above single digits. A 20.1-gallon fuel tank ensures a highway cruising range in excess of 400 miles.

Value

8/10

Is the M8 Convertible a good value? Value certainly takes on a different meaning for the BMW M8 Competition, with a starting price north of $140K and an as-tested price nearing $180,000, as well as other cars in this class. Buyers expect a lot for their money, and the M8 convertible delivers with an attractive high-quality interior, plenty of impressive technology and jaw-dropping performance. That performance might be the biggest bargain since almost nothing combines the BMW's mix of comfort and speed for less money.

At four years/50,000 miles apiece, both the bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranties are typical for the class. You also get three years/36,00 miles of free maintenance. Roadside assistance is a generous four years/unlimited miles.

Wildcard

9.5/10

The strength of the BMW M8 convertible lies in its ability to be effortlessly capable of long highway trips as well as devastatingly quick on a deserted back road. Its performance numbers are brash, but the car is cloaked in a subtlety and refinement to the point where you almost forget how capable this convertible can be. And therein lies the charm of the M8 convertible. It's fast and engaging when you want it most and calm and collected when you need it the most. It's expensive, yes, but it does more things extremely well than most cars do at all.

2024 BMW M8 trim level differences

BMW sells the 2024 M8 in coupe and convertible body styles equipped with standard Competition trim. (A four-door M8 Gran Coupe sedan is also available and is reviewed separately.) A turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 generating 617 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque powers all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic sport transmission. However, you can switch to a rear-wheel-drive mode if you prefer it. Compare the 2024 BMW M8 trim levels in-depth.

Which M8 trim does Edmunds recommend?

BMW will build you an M8 coupe or convertible in any specification you want as long as that specification is Competition. Each boasts the highest state of performance tuning, but through a variety of paint colors, wheel designs, interior hues, and the BMW Individual customization program, you can create an M8 unlike most others.

Competitors to consider

If a BMW M8 coupe or convertible isn't to your liking, you have a handful of alternatives. You could get a Lexus LC, a stylish and rare car equipped with a V8 engine or a hybrid drivetrain. It's not as fast, but you'll spend far less while still turning heads. The recently redesigned Mercedes-AMG SL is another alternative, but it is smaller, slower and costs more. You might also consider the Porsche 911, but it can't touch the BMW's performance or practicality at the price. Be sure to read our full Expert Rating to learn more about the 2024 BMW M8.

Edmunds spotlight: Performance

Fortified with a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine, an eight-speed automatic sport transmission, and an M-developed version of BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system, the M8 provides a thrilling driving experience. Better yet, the car isn't solely about straight-line acceleration. The wizards toiling within BMW M (the automaker's high-performance tuning division) have waved their magic wands over the M8's suspension, steering, and braking systems to ensure optimum handling and braking capabilities. Then they package the car with more aggressive styling and plenty of luxury within the cabin. And if you have extra room in your budget, you can custom-tailor the car through the BMW Individual menu of options.

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.

BMW M8 vs. Lexus LC

The Lexus LC is more of a luxury cruiser than a performance car, but its rarity on the road, satisfying 471-hp 5.0-liter V8 engine, daring design, and affordable (by comparison) price could make it an appealing alternative to a BMW M8. It comes in coupe and convertible body styles and it's also available with a hybrid drivetrain offering up to 29 mpg in combined driving. The Lexus, though, isn't nearly as thrilling to drive as the BMW.

BMW M8 vs. Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

Mercedes redesigned the SL roadster last year, improving the car across the board while adding a couple of rear seats. They're not nearly as comfortable as what you'll get in the BMW M8 convertible, and even in the most powerful SL 63 specification, the Mercedes is slower to 60 mph while costing tens of thousands more than the BMW. The Benz might be the new kid on the block, but we would stick with Old Faithful in this matchup.

BMW M8 vs. Porsche 911

As with the Mercedes, you'll spend lots more money on a Porsche 911 that will match the BMW M8's acceleration. In addition, the BMW is more accommodating of passengers than the Porsche. But for a truly visceral sports car driving experience, the oft-quoted Tom Cruise line from the movie Risky Business stands: "Porsche. There is no substitute."
