 The New 2020 BMW M8 Gran Coupé and Gran Coupé Competition

BMW is pleased to announce the newest edition to the M8 family, the BMW M8 Gran Coupé and M8 Gran Coupé Competition. The Gran Coupé rides on a chassis and body which is 231 mm longer, 35.5 mm wider, 73.6 mm taller with a wheelbase increased by 200 mm,  adding extra stability, comfort and rear interior space without affecting agility.

Interior space benefits greatly over that of the Coupé with rear shoulder room increasing by 195 mm, rear legroom increasing by 180 mm and rear headroom increasing by 89 mm. The greater interior dimensions come at the cost of only a 85 kg increase in curb weight.

This means that the uncompromised near-supercar levels of performance and luxury can be more easily shared with family and friends.

BMW M8 Gran Coupé First Edition

A limited number of M8 Gran Coupé First Edition models will usher in the arrival of the M8 Gran Coupé and Competition models in Canada. The First Edition cars will be finished in Individual Aurora Green Metallic, a color exclusive to this model. The BMW Kidney grille, side air breather trim, door mirror and window-surround trim, exterior badging and door sill plates are finished in GoldBronze.

The interior is finished in BMW Individual Ivory White/Tartufo Full Merino leather and features Individual Piano Black trim with a “First Edition 1/400” on the center console door.  Exclusive 20-inch Forged M Star-Spoke wheels finished in GoldBronze help set the First Edition models apart.
