With muscular proportions and massive power, the 2020 BMW M8 is a bully among boulevard cruisers. This Bimmer is based on the standard BMW 8-series—and is available as a coupe, convertible, and Gran Coupe that I will review separately.
Every version of the M8 boasts a mighty twin-turbo V-8 that pairs with a specialized all-wheel-drive system; it includes a rear-drive-only mode that's perfect for hanging the tail out.
The M8 Competition model further maximizes performance with added horsepower, an enhanced chassis, and other bespoke bits.
Despite its inherently aggressive demeanor, the M8 remains a pleasant daily driver. Its cabin is beautifully crafted and loaded with luxury features and desirable technology.
While its exterior design won't appeal to extroverts, and BMW's newly introduced adjustable brake-pedal feel is unpleasant, the 2020 M8 is hugely capable and surprisingly comfortable.
BMW introduces a new flagship for its vaunted M performance division with the 2020 M8. This model replaces the BMW M6, which was also offered as a coupe, convertible, and four-door Gran Coupe.
Unlike the more affordable but less powerful BMW M850i, the M8 is made for those who desire the full monty when it comes to the company's M division.
That's why I'd recommend the M8 Competition coupe, because it has the complete roster of go-fast goodies and is better suited to racetrack action than the convertible.
Both versions are a serious investment, and those who have the means to buy either can likely afford to load up on the options. However, the M8 comes with a handsome amount of standard luxuries, so I'd be less spendy than most.
Besides, the only remaining performance upgrade is the M Carbon Ceramic Brakes.
The M8 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8, which makes 600 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. The Competition versions generate another 17 ponies.
Every M8 uses an eight-speed automatic transmission and a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system that can disengage power to the front axle. This impressive drive-train is also shared with the BMW M5. I expect acceleration times to be in the same eye-widening range as the M5 competition.
Compared with the M8, the Comp models receive a firmer suspension, sportier-sounding exhaust system, unique "Track" drive mode, and special wheels.
Despite an exhaust note that doesn’t quite excite like rivals from Mercedes-AMG, the BMW is blindingly quick, and its automatic is brilliantly perceptive.
Although the all-wheel-drive system is intended to provide rear-drive thrills, I found that provoking power slides is best left for the safety of an empty parking lot.
Every M8 comes standard with luxurious features that include customizable ambient lighting, a 12.1-inch digital gauge cluster, heated and ventilated front seats, a Nappa leather-covered dashboard, a power-adjustable steering wheel, and wireless charging.
The interface features crisp graphics and quick responses, but some of the menus are heavily packed and require the driver to take their eyes off the road.
Still, the system's voice commands worked well, and it can even be optioned with gesture controls.
Desirable standard features include Apple CarPlay (but not Android Auto), a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot, and a 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
The 2020 M8 hasn't been crash tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The coupe and convertible are available with myriad driver-assistance technology, which includes options such as self-parking assist and night vision.
With a twin-turbo V-8 that churns out up to 617 horsepower, the 2021 BMW M5 deserves a more explicit classification than mere sports sedan.
Although based on the normal 5-Series and sharing an equally elegant interior, the mighty Bimmer is transformed by the company's high-performance M division.
Sure, its mission to outrun some of the best sports cars is veiled by its relatively subdued appearance, but simply mat the accelerator and hold on as the M5 blasts ahead like a cruise missile.
Its track-ready hardware also supports impressive handling limits, and its sophisticated all-wheel-drive system also allows juvenile rear-drive sideways shenanigans.
However, the BMW's six-figure price tag might as well be a "no kids allowed" sign, because the 2021 M5 is a machine for well-heeled men and women who covet rockets with four doors.
BMW freshens up the 2021 M5 with a larger grille, restyled front and rear bumpers, and updated headlights and taillights. Inside, the most notable change is a new 12.3-inch touchscreen that replaces last year's 10.25-inch display.
The system also adds Android Auto, cloud-based navigation features, and other improvements. Less obvious are the revised M mode settings, which are now easier to access thanks to being consolidated into a single button.
In addition to several new paint options, the standard brake calipers can now be finished in high-gloss black or red. The Competition model nets a new full Merino leather color scheme, a new Track drive mode, and new shock absorbers.
These dampers benefit from a re-calibrated control system that BMW says should improve ride comfort, especially and at high speeds.
Who am I kidding? Despite the increased cost, the M5 Competition is the one to get. Not only does it have an additional 17 horsepower compared with the regular model, it has exclusive chassis components and tuning that maximize its performance and handling.
After all, if I're spending six figures on a sports sedan, I want the best version.
The M5 Comp. also has 20-inch wheels, extra black exterior accents, and a standard M Sport exhaust system that increases the volume of the engine's soundtrack.
While every model has a smorgasbord of desirable features, I'd further upgrade our M5 with the Executive package.
This adds a 360-degree camera system, ventilated front-seat cushions with built-in massagers, heated front and rear seats, parking sensors at both ends, power-operated rear window shades, self-parking assist, and soft-close automatic doors.
Sporting a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 with 600 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, the M5 is mighty quick. it launches to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and snapped off a 10.9-second quarter-mile time at 129 mph; top speed is a governor-limited 163 mph.
An even more powerful M5 Competition model is now available and makes 617 horsepower. It proved to be quicker than the regular M5 on a real racetrack.
The M5 faithful will lament the discontinued manual gearbox and unfamiliar all-wheel-drive system, but this Bimmer has a high-tech drive-train that can send 100 percent of power to the rear wheels for pure rear-drive personality.
Driving enjoyment is maximized here with lively and direct steering, a well-controlled (borderline stiff) ride, and heroic cornering grip. That doesn't mean the M5 can't also do duty as a luxury sedan: In Comfort mode, it cruises placidly, and the cabin is whisper quiet.
Although the EPA hasn't announced fuel-economy ratings for the 2021 M5, I expect them to carry over from the previous model year.
The government estimates the 2020 M5 and its Competition variant will earn 15 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway.
Both figures are worse than the Porsche Panamera Turbo (18 mpg city and 25 highway) and similar to the Mercedes-AMG E63 S sedan (15 mpg city and 25 highway).
The M5 has an elegant leather interior with supple and supportive sport seats.
The driver's seating position is optimized for performance-style driving, and BMW hasn't gone the all-touchscreen route that many of its rivals have, so making changes to the air conditioning or adjusting the radio during driving causes little distraction.
There's also a slew of desirable standard features that include customizable ambient interior lighting, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable steering column.
Further options include ventilated front seats with massage functions, heated rear seats, and four-zone automatic climate control. Along with useful interior cubby storage, the M5's trunk manages to fit six carry-on suitcases.
The M5's large 12.3-inch touchscreen display runs BMW's latest iDrive infotainment software, sits atop the dash to the right of the driver's sight-lines, and is primarily controlled by a rotary knob on the center console.
The system includes standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. There's also a 16-speaker, 600-watt Harman/Kardon audio system and wireless device charging on all models.
Those who want even fancier features can opt for the optional rear-seat entertainment system and 16-speaker, 1400-watt Bowers & Wilkins sound system.
The 2021 M5 hasn't been crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The sports sedan does offer a wide variety of standard driver-assistance technology, such as automatic high-beams and blind-spot monitoring.
Key safety features include:
Standard forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking
Standard lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist
Available cruise control with stop-and-go technology
BMW provides a limited warranty and power-train protection that aligns with luxury rivals. Its complimentary scheduled maintenance is shorter than what Jaguar offers, but BMW's plan still ranks among the best.
Limited warranty covers four years or 50,000 miles
Power-train warranty covers four years or 50,000 miles
Complimentary maintenance is covered for three years or 36,000 miles.
