Both mind-bending speed and transcontinental comfort are hallmarks of the new 2023 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.
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. M6 Convertible looks so much nicer the the M8. Reducing the rear seat leg room, TERRIBLE idea, Who the heck came up with that idea?
Rear Wind deflector, put the glass back on there. Can't … believe you have to manually put the deflector on. Who wants to get out of the car after the top down is done to put the deflector on. Totally takes away the cool factor. Not to mention having the use up trunk space and remember to carry the deflector.
I have been driving BMW convertibles for the past 15 years. I know what I am talking about.
Did not go with ceramic brakes since the squealed like hell. The regular brakes did not make a sound for the first 10k miles. After first service dealer can't get the brakes to stop from making the embarrassing sound. If it wasn't for the trunk room and 0-60 specs, I would have definitely considered other brands.
Technology factor looks too plain for a $180k car. Interior lighting not up to par compared to cheaper models.
A quick note to say I totally agree with the review that says bring back the built in glass rear deflector. I had a 650 convertible before the M8 and while the top looks cooler on the M8 as it’s going up or down (all at once rather than the “Batman” ears look), the lack of the rear deflector “window” makes a HUGE difference. Please bring it back!
My journey started in 2007 with a 2005 6 Series convertible, followed by 2012 & 2014 6 series convertible. I traded for a 2012 Bentley Continental Convertible, followed by 2021 Lexus LC 500 convertible. BMW made it easy to trade the Lexus for M8 Competition Convertible. I am literally blown away with it's upgraded technology and unmatched performance. Thank you BMW for perfecting the … Ultimate Driving Machine 👍🏾
