FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2024 BMW M8 Gran Coupe, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
Comparing the M8 Competition Gran Coupe to the Alpina B8 (another aggressively priced variant of the 8 Series Gran Coupe), it's notable that the M8 is a few hundred pounds lighter, which explains why its acceleration is better. The M8 also has a larger fuel tank than the other 8 Series Gran Coupe variants, which is nice given that its fuel economy is the lowest of the bunch. And speaking of price, the M8 is more than $10k cheaper than the B8 Alpina. The problem is that it's still way more expensive than the very similar M850i Gran Coupe.
