The M8 is a grand tourer with a wild side that’s hard to tame.
The 2025 BMW M8 is the kind of car that makes you question the laws of physics. It’s remarkably fast and handles with an agility that belies its size, making it the ideal companion for both breathtaking canyon runs and track day shenanigans. On one hand, it embraces BMW’s storied styling and engineering; on the other, it surprises with its rear-wheel-drive antics and sheer power delivery.
However, not all is perfect in this beast. The ride is stiffer than we'd like, even in Comfort mode, and the exhaust note leaves something to be desired—it's too subdued for a 617-horsepower V8. Add to that a trunk that barely holds a weekend's luggage and rear seats that feel more symbolic than functional, and you’ve got a car that’s best appreciated from the driver’s seat.
If you crave speed, precision, and a bit of practicality without needing to haul a family of four, the M8 will thrill you. Just be prepared for a few quirks along the way.
