The BMW M8 Competition combines the comfort and luxury of the 8 Series with the performance of a full-fledged BMW M car. Its 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 produces 625 hp and is paired with M xDrive and an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission.

This example is finished in metallic black with a black interior, dark wheels and several carbon-fibre details, including the carbon roof and interior trim. The fully dark specification suits the M8 particularly well: powerful yet understated, with the carbon accents offering a subtle hint at what lies beneath the surface.

What makes the M8 special is the breadth of its character. It is a car in which you can cover long distances effortlessly, yet at the press of a button it can completely change its personality. The V8 delivers its power with ease, while M xDrive ensures that the performance is genuinely usable. As a result, the M8 does not just feel fast on paper, but like a car that can deploy its performance almost anywhere, at any time.

At the same time, it remains very much a luxury grand tourer. The low seating position, wide body and long bonnet give it the presence of a true GT, while the interior offers a calm and comfortable environment. In this black specification, that contrast comes through particularly well: discreet enough not to be flashy, but with enough presence to be instantly recognisable as an M8.

The result is a car that fulfils several roles at once. A comfortable long-distance cruiser, a fast daily driver and, when desired, a 625 hp M machine. In our opinion, the perfect daily.

Please note: this car is being auctioned excluding the remaining Dutch BPM. For buyers keeping the car in the Netherlands, approximately 14.150 EUR in remaining BPM will be added to the hammer price.
