Used BMW M8 information
Engines and transmissions
The BMW M8 is offered with one powertrain option, whether it's for the coupé or convertible. The twin-turbocharged V8 engine is guaranteed to offer a thrill, with 0-60 mph times meant to rival supercars. Yet, with CO2 emissions on the higher end, drivers can expect to pay a hefty Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax).
Petrol- 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine pushes up to 625 horsepower.
- Top speed is 155 mph with a 0-62 mph time of 3.2 seconds.
- An 8-speed automatic transmission allows for complete control of power delivery.
- CO2 emissions rated between 257 and 260 g/km and fuel economy ratings are approximately 25 mpg.
