The 2026 BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe is a high-performance luxury four-seater that appeals to drivers wanting supercar thrills with everyday practicality, delivering 460kW and 750Nm from its 4.4-litre twin-turbo petrol engine. Its standout strength is the combination of genuine performance-capable of serious pace-with a 420-litre boot and AWD traction that actually makes it usable in Australian conditions, unlike many rivals. One consideration: at approximately $4513 per year in running costs plus premium fuel requirements, this is genuinely expensive to own, so budget-conscious buyers should factor this into their decision before committing to purchase.
Configure the Competition Gran CoupeThe facelifted BMW M8 Competition Coupe, as published in BMW's UK press technical-specification sheet of January 2021. A 4,395 cc twin-turbo V8 delivers 460 kW at 6,000 rpm and 750 Nm from 1,800 to 5,860 rpm through an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic and M xDrive all-wheel drive with a fully variable Active M Differential. BMW quotes 3.2 seconds to 100 km/h, 10.6 seconds to 200 km/h and a 250 km/h limited top speed, rising to 305 km/h with the M Driver's Package. Unladen weight is 1,900 kg to DIN and the boot holds 420 litres. WLTP combined consumption is 11.4 to 11.0 L/100 km with 260 to 251 g/km CO2. The 2021 update brought a larger 12.3-inch central touchscreen in place of the previous 10.25-inch display.

The folding roof costs it 125 kg over the Coupe at 2,025 kg unladen to DIN, and boot space drops to 350 litres. WLTP combined consumption is 11.6 to 11.2 L/100 km with 264 to 255 g/km CO2.

At 1,995 kg unladen to DIN it is 95 kg heavier than the Coupe yet matches its 3.2-second 0-100 km/h claim. WLTP combined consumption is 11.6 to 11.2 L/100 km with 264 to 256 g/km CO2.
