BMW M8 Coupe And Convertible Are Back In The U.S.
by AutoExpert | 5 August, 2021
M8 Coupe and Convertible will be available in the United States again, according to BMW. For the 2021 model year, both variants were phased out, leaving only the M8 Gran Coupe as a survivor.
2022 M8 Competition Coupe will price at $130,000. This brings the price down $3,000 from the 2020 M8 Coupe and $16,000 from the 2020 M8 Competition Coupe.
That's a significant discount, and BMW is likely expecting that the lower price will stimulate sales, which had been slow. M8 Competition Convertible will cost $139,500 in 2022.
This is $3,000 less than the 2020 M8 Convertible and $16,000 less than the 2020 M8 Competition Convertible.
A twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine delivers 617 hp (460 kW / 626 PS) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque in both variants. It comes with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive as default.
M8 Competition Coupe can reach 60 mph (96 km/h) in 3 secs with this arrangement, while M8 Competition Convertible takes a tenth of a second longer.
i3 model, as well as the X3 xDrive30e and X6 sDrive40i, have been retired, according to BMW USA. The rest of the news is small tweaks such as new color schemes and improvements to baseline equipment and choices. Wireless charging has been withdrawn from several automobiles.
