2023 BMW M8 Competition Convertible – Full POV Walkaround

2023 BMW M8 Competition Convertible

The 2023 BMW M8 Convertible is one of the largest, most powerful, and most expensive BMWs one can buy, and it comes packed with all the luxury and performance one would expect from a high-ranking M car. Although the M8 Convertible returns for 2023 with minimal changes, you still get the Competition Package as standard, which means this mighty drop-top produces a massive 617 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque from its 4.4-liter V8 engine. This allows the M8 to launch to 60 mph in a fraction over three seconds, which, in a car this size, feels almost illegal. For 2023 the interior is spruced up with a larger infotainment display, and the cabin remains a refined, albeit demure space - but since everything needs to have a flaw, it's worth noting that the rear seats in the M8 drop-top are an uncomfortable place to spend time. And with rivals like Bentley, which generally specialize in comfort, there's the ultra-pricey GT Continental Convertible to keep the big Bimmer on its toes. Buyers looking for top-down thrills and superfluous power can also shop among competitors that aren't quite as sizable as the BMW M8 Convertible, but in this case, the BMW provides a much more spacious and plush cabin than the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet.

2023 BMW M8 Convertible Changes: What’s The Difference vs The 2022 M8 Convertible?

Customers in the USA can expect a redesigned grille that is illuminated as standard, as well as a few new exterior paint colors, including two BMW Individual hues called Frozen Pure Grey and Tanzanite Blue II Metallic. Skyscraper Grey, Brooklyn Grey, and Isle of Man Green are also made available. Other aesthetic tweaks include M Shadowline inserts on the BMW Icon Adaptive LED headlights and BMW M 50 Years bespoke emblems that honor the 50th anniversary of BMW M.

The interior of the BMW M8 Convertible also gets some TLC for 2023 with the addition of a new leather/Alcantara color combination of Black and Sakhir Orange. M Carbon bucket seats can now also be added to your M8 that feature heating and power adjustments. Finally, a larger 12.3-inch center display screen replaces the 10.25-inch unit from the previous model year.
