The 700hp BMW M8 Comp is even quick down under

0-100 km/h 3.14 sec(no roll-out)
0-200 km/h 10.28 sec
1/4 mile 10.97 @ 206 km/h 128 mph
Outside temp 12 deg

BMW M8 CS?

The problem with posting acceleration and 1/4 mile figures from American vs European tests is that the American testers use roll-out which also improves the 1/4 times ie. generally 0.2-0.25 sec so the 10.7 sec 1/4 mile American figure equates to 10.9-10.95 sec European. Most peeps are totally oblivious to this fact which results in arguments among posters. The easiest way of dealing with this anomaly is to add next to the "Acceleration (mph) heading, "American test roll-out" and for "Acceleration (kph) "European test no roll-out" :)

0-60 in 2.5 seconds and 1/4 mile in 10.7 accorting to the new Car and Driver test. Very strong acceleration

0-100 (km-h) 3.14 sec
0-200 10.17 sec
1/4 mile 10.84 sec
0-250 17.85 sec
Individual 100-200 test(in the video): 6.96 sec

A drag race between a BMW M8 Comp and BMW S1000RR motorbike. What i found interesting was that they tested the M8 0-100 km/h in different modes so in comfort mode it was 4.5 sec, in sport mode 4.1 sec, with limited stability 3.9 and finally with launch control 3.4 sec with wheelspin. They used Heathcote Raceway which didn't have prep and was slippery hence the slowish time with launch control. The S1000RR had traction problems getting off the mark hence slow 1/4 mile times.

There is no M8 CP Convertible page, so still going to put them here for anyone who cares
0-100km/h in 3.40 seconds
0-200km/h in 10.76 seconds
1/4 mile in 11.10 seconds
0-250km/h in 18.31 seconds

If M5 Comp test figures are to be believed, the M8 should be capable of a 2.6-second 0-60mph sprint, two-tenths quicker.

3.4s to 60mph
11.4s to the 1/4 mile.

That's a bit off. Tested at $175k USD.

It's unreal. Looking forward head to head hot laps

I am noticing that Autocar magazine are going to publish a full 8 page road test of the BMW M8 convertible next Wednesday 5 April 2020. It should be a goodie! Please note it is the convertible and not the coupe. At the moment the convertible is the most expensive BMW.

AutoBild Supertest comes february 14.

This is a nice car. I like it. I only wish they had made a hardcore version of the M8, with a stripped out M4 GTS-style interior, keeping the AWD and Read wheel steering, and swapping in a lightweight version of the V12 with 750 horsepower. But this is fine, because it looks great, is pretty fast, and is also probably super comfortable.

What a beast this car is.

First laptime of M8 CP

Any laptimes?

0-60 mph: 3.1 seconds
0-100 mph: 7.1 seconds
1/4 mile: 11.2 seconds @ 124.9 mph

Not perfect conditions so better times should be set in near future.

0-200km/h in under 10 seconds

rumors say that this beast did 7:21 on the Nürburgring

I'll take the M5 thanks.

Kinda disappointed although not surprised that M8 Competition and M5 Competition use identical powerplants with identical power output.

The monster BMW ///M V8TT in a 2 door luxo coupe. Badass.

Manufacturer claims:

0-100 km/h: 3.2 seconds
0-60 mph: 3.1 seconds
Top speed: 190 mph with optional Driver’s Package, otherwise the standard 155 mph
