BMW M8 Competition

A coupe with some weight to it

The BMW M8 Competition feels substantial rather than delicate. Its V8 has plenty of pull without needing to be worked hard, while the automatic transmission makes Downtown traffic easier to live with. On Sheikh Zayed Road, it settles into a fast, assured cruise. Take speed bumps slowly, though: this is a performance coupe, not a soft-riding saloon.

It has the presence for a hotel valet or an evening along Jumeirah Beach Road, but it is enjoyable in ordinary use too. The appeal is having serious performance on hand without making every journey an occasion.

Best with a little room to breathe

This suits a couple planning a Dubai stay, a business visitor who wants something more engaging than a conventional executive car, or someone marking a birthday. An Abu Dhabi drive gives the M8 time to settle into its stride; a short Marina trip is more about its looks and V8 character than finding open road.

There are rear seats, but this remains a two-door coupe. If adults will regularly travel in the back or you have a great deal of luggage, a larger car would be the more comfortable choice.

The M8 in brief

This BMW M8 Competition has a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 producing 617 hp, an automatic transmission and a petrol engine. It seats four and has two doors. Those details explain its balance: powerful and usable for a trip away, but with the access and proportions of a coupe.
