It is also proof that manufacturers like BMW have not lost the passion to build unique, incomparable cars, loaded with technology and that, beyond being inaccessible to most, contribute to making cars better every day. Do not hesitate.
Regarding the M8 Competition Coupé, the Cabrio incorporates a high-quality textile hood that stretches over the cabin. The flexible multilayer fabric insulates the interior quite well and protects the occupants from the wind. Never like the coupe does, of course. The hood can be opened or closed in 15 seconds, at the push of a button, even on the go. Of course, we cannot exceed 50 km / h to carry out the operation.
Uncovered wears a stylized silhouette, extremely elegant, and looks even lower than the coupe. And, in fact, it is, even if it’s only 9mm. Also noteworthy are the huge 20-inch wheels with an attractive star-shaped design. We could say that we are facing an exquisite combination of luxury, technology and the benefits of supercar.
Large air intakes in the bumper, dual-leaf grille, sized front wings, black accents like mirrors, grille frames, or lower front apron give you an idea of what BMW is after.
Also, a glimpse of the spectacular rear We discover a bumper that integrates a carbon fiber diffuser that integrates the four exhaust outlets. And on the trunk lid, another fiber detail in the form of a discreet spoiler. The carbon body parts go with the M Carbon exterior package.
