Series and M model
„The concept and development of the BMW 8 Series and the M model go hand in hand.

This will meet the highest demands of our customers," prophesizes Frank van Meel, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW M GmbH.
Racing version in planning

A roll-out is planned for before the end of the first half of the year, with the first race entry scheduled for the 24-hour race at Daytona at the end of January 2018.
