Four full-sized seats, four doors and a ridiculous amount of power under the bonnet make this extravagant sports car both practical and exhilarating. For the small price of just \u00a3120,935 you couldhave 625 hp at your feet in BMW\u2019s fastest four-door car ever. This four-door M8Competition is fitted with a 4.4-litre V8 engine that\u2019s mated to a smooth andadvanced eight-speed M Steptronic transmission and M xDrive\u2019s AWD system and astep on the pedal results in \u201cinstant response\u201d from the car, according to BMW.0-62 mph in just 3.2 secondsYes, you can fit four in this spacious coupe but don\u2019t let the practicality fool you. 3.2 seconds makes the M8 Competition Gran Coupe faster than a Lamborghini Murcielago, Ferrari 360 and a McLaren 540C. According to BMW, the car is \u201cdeveloped for the race track\u201d which is evident with dedicated engine oil, transmission oil, engine and turbocharger coolers.The added space in the rear of the cabin has to have come from somewhere, which is why the M8 Competition Gran Coupe is 231 mm longer than the M8 Competition. Although BMW refer to this super saloon\/coupe as a four-seater, there is a third seat in the back that is recommended for use on short journeys. Sounds uncomfortable but it\u2019s certainly nice to have it there just in case.The boot has a capacity of 440 litres andit\u2019ll fit a few suitcases, shopping bags or golf bags. It may not look asextravagant as the latest Lamborghini Aventador but with the speed and powerthat it\u2019s packing, the only difference at the end of the day is that this BMWM8 is cheaper and more practical. Still not special enough? How about the BMW M8 Gran Coupe First Edition?If you want a limited edition version of this car than BMW has you covered. Five First Editions will be sold in the UK and they feature an exclusive design made up of Aurora Diamond Green metallic paint finish with Gold Bronze accents.That being said, the standard BMW M8 Gran Coupe is already special enough, marrying the luxuries of a luxury saloon with the performance of a supercar. Standard spec includes front and rear heated seats, adaptive LED headlights with high beam assistant, M exclusive HUD, four-zone climate control, driving and parking assist and BMW\u2019s fancy virtual assistant which is basically like Apple\u2019s Siri. The BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe is availableto order today and they\u2019ll be on the roads by early 2020.
