TECHNICAL DETAILS.
M Mode.
The M MODE button on the centre console can adjust the control intensity of the driver assistance systems. The ROAD mode offers the full range of functions of the electronic assistants. In the SPORT setting, they only warn but do not intervene. Depending on the selected mode, the display network also shows the corresponding driving information. The BMW M8 Competition Coupé additionally features TRACK mode, which allows the driver to concentrate fully on the race track without any intervention.
M xDrive.
M xDrive with Active M Differential guarantees maximum traction and driving dynamics for everyday driving, as well as at the racetrack. The M specific technology combines the typical agility of a rear-wheel drive with the control of an all-wheel drive. There is a choice between the drive variants 4WD, 4WD Sport and – in DSC-off mode – 2WD.
Adaptive M suspension.
The Adaptive M suspension comes as a standard and makes it possible to adjust the damper characteristics to suit any given driving situation, increasing driving dynamics and comfort. In addition to the standard COMFORT setting for increased driving comfort, the SPORT program offers more direct damper settings, and SPORT+ for use on the racetrack.
M Sport exhaust system.
The M Sport exhaust system comes as a standard and delivers a dynamic sound that can be modified via the integrated exhaust valve mechanism. The SPORT and SPORT+ programmes, which can be selected via the driving dynamics buttons, are accentuated by an even more intense engine sound, while the comfort-oriented programme delivers a more discreet sporty sound.
M Carbon ceramic brake.
The optional M Carbon ceramic brake delivers braking power even more directly. The brake is non-corrosive and tolerates even more heat. It impresses with extremely minimal wear and contributes to a lower vehicle weight, which has a positive impact on agility, dynamics and acceleration. The special technical equipment is visible through calipers in the colour Gold matt with M logo on the outside.
THE BMW M8 GRAN COUPÈ.
The M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine of the BMW M8 Gran Coupé develops 441 kW (600 hp), accelerating it from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. The characteristic features of the Gran Coupé include body parts in high-gloss chrome, such as the kidney grille and the two double exhaust pipes.
