2024 BMW M8 Convertible Trims Comparison

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.

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.
