BMW M8 Performance Overview
BMW’s M8 arrived for the 2020 to 2020 model year as the high-performance version of the 8 Series, and across 3 verified tests from that single model year, the data shows a very narrow but very quick performance window. All recorded results come from the first-generation F91/F92/F93 lineup, powered by the 617-hp S63B44T4 twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 and offered only with a gasoline powertrain in the tested sample.
In its launch-year form, the M8 immediately established its best figures with the 2020 Competition Coupe, which set the model’s quickest verified 0-60 time at 2.5 seconds and its fastest quarter-mile at 10.7 seconds at 129 mph. Other tested 2020 Competition Coupe runs reached as slow as 3.3 seconds to 60 mph, illustrating the full spread behind the average 2.83-second result. The 2020 Competition Gran Coupe also appears within this initial test set, keeping the entire recorded history concentrated in one early production phase.
As it stands today, the current F91/F92/F93 generation remains represented here by those 2020 launch-year results, with the current-generation benchmark still the 2.5-second Competition Coupe run and an average quarter-mile of 10.97 seconds at 127.5 mph.

How we verify BMW M8 performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same BMW M8 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
