Extensive range of exclusive M Performance Parts further enhance the BMW M8 Coupé and Convertible.

Munich. In a few months’ time, with a full package of direct racing
technology on board, the new BMW M8 Coupé (combined fuel consumption:
10.6–10.5 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 242–238 g/km*)
and the new BMW M8 Convertible (combined fuel consumption:
10.8-10.6 l/100 km*; combined CO2 emissions: 246–241 g/km*)
will be setting a new benchmark in the premium segment of
high-performance sports cars suitable for everyday use. The BMW M8 GTE
race car know-how is incorporated into the production model. This also
applies to the accessory range of M Performance Parts. BMW presents
its extensive range of M Performance Parts right from the market
launch of the BMW M8 versions (440 kW/600 hp) and the even more
powerful BMW M8 Competition models (460 kW/625 hp). These lend an
additional touch of style to the design and sporty flair of the top
BMW 8 Series models, enabling further selective customisation. In best
tradition, all components are harmonised with each other as well as
with the specific character of the new model. In addition to enhancing
the sporty appearance of the models, the accessory options also meet
functional requirements in terms of lightweight construction and
aerodynamics. This is not least due to the comprehensive racing
expertise contributed by BMW M GmbH to the development of M
Performance Parts.

 

Exterior components made of carbon fibre for an even more
striking appearance.


As a supplement to the optional Carbon Package, the M
Performance carbon fibre exterior components round off the dynamic,
elegant motor racing style of the new BMW M8. While the M Performance
sill attachments give the vehicle additional length in visual terms,
the M Performance carbon fibre radiator grille and M Performance
carbon fibre side decorative grille guarantee a compelling front view.
Developed specially for the BMW M8, these components with exposed
carbon fibre finish are elaborately crafted by hand and mutually
harmonised. Sealed with a clear finish and a high-gloss polish, they
are UV and temperature-resistant as being car wash compatible. The
same applies to the M Performance engine cover – an impressive premium
racing-style eye-catcher when the bonnet is open.

 

Well-equipped to cope with the toughest conditions: M
Performance sport brake pads.


Shorter braking distance, improved response, higher thermal
resilience: the benefits of the M Performance sport brake pads are
many and varied. Derived directly from the BMW Motorsport
long-distance racing pads, the variants for the BMW M8 Coupé and
Convertible enable more dynamic, racing-style steering when braking
into a bend as compared to the standard configuration.

 

M Performance Pro steering wheel for a perfect grip on the action.

When it comes to being able to fully explore the striking
talents of the new BMW M8 models in terms of driving dynamics at any
time, a key factor is the M Performance Pro steering wheel with carbon
fibre shift paddles and carbon fibre/Alcantara – carbon fibre/leather
trim. Thanks to its impressively shaped Alcantara grip areas with
large thumb rests and special underlay, it guarantees excellent grip
therefore a direct steering feel. With their shift symbols in bold
red, the carbon fibre shift paddles – also separately available for
the standard steering wheel – emphasise the racing theme, as do the
blue central marking on the M Performance Pro steering wheel and its
seam in the hallmark M colours of blue, red and violet. The refined
motor racing ambience can be perfectly rounded off with non-slip,
easy-grip M Performance floor mats made of velvet velour with
leather-style surround, M Performance inscription and a pennant in the
typical M colours.

 

Excellent protection for the interim periods between driving experiences.

M Performance Parts even offers stylish and practical
accessories for the preferably short periods in between individual
trips in the fascinating BMW M8 models. The M Performance indoor car
cover protects the vehicle from dirt and scratches once it has been
parked in the garage, for example. The machine-washable cover made of
elastic polyester and with soft, paint-friendly inner side fits
perfectly over the body, highlighting various design features such as
the kidney grille with printed badges and inscriptions, for example.
Meanwhile, M Performance wheel bags are recommended when it comes to
storing and transporting an additional set of wheels. They provide
protection from soiling, ensure clear wheel allocation due to their
respective markings and create a racing atmosphere in the garage at
home with their hallmark M design.
