BMW M8

As there is no other trim option to opt for, the 2022 BMW M8 Competition Coupe trim is the only one to go for, and it’s filled up to the brim with features. The Competition trim is a track-ready tool and comes with features like a Weight-optimized dual exhaust system with an M sound control button, Brake Energy Regeneration, Active M Differential, and Adaptive M Suspension with electronically controlled dampers, and more for a thrilling driving experience. Also, we'd recommend you opt for the M carbon package too. 

For the 2022 model year, the new 2022 BMW M8 is available in only one trim option, i.e. the M8 Competition trim. It is a good thing, and now you get a track-ready option as standard. The coupe comes with a variety of features as standard like Dynamic Cruise Control, M Carbon Roof, Heated Front Seats, Armrests & Steering Wheel, Extended Merino Leather upholstery, and much more. 

BMW has gone all-in with respect to the M8 coupe and this means the majority of the creature comforts and interior features like the 12.1-inch Live Cockpit Pro digital gauge cluster, ambient interior lighting, Laser LED headlights, head-up display, BMW Teleservices, and much more are all standard, unlike its rivals from Porsche. 

Infotainment requirements of the 2022 M8 Coupe have been taken care of by the latest tech features available. Furthermore, many more optional packages are also on offer, such as the Driver Assistance Professional package, and the infamous M carbon package, which includes the likes of M carbon bucket seats, M carbon-ceramic brakes, and the M carbon exterior package.

The BMW 2022 M8 is claimed to deliver 15 MPG in the city and 21 MPG on highways. You can't expect something frugal from a machine that is track-focused. The combined M8 MPG efficiency comes to 17 MPG. With a fuel tank capacity of 20.1 gallons, you can expect a range of 301 miles, 422 miles, and 341 miles on a full tank of gas in city, highway, and combined conditions, respectively.

The Porsche comes with a smaller capacity boxer engine and produces the highest power output of 640 HP. Its expected fuel efficiency figures are similar to the BMW M8. The Jaguar F-Type R Coupe can also be considered fuel-efficient considering the cubic capacity of its larger engine. The Continental GT on the other hand is marginally more frugal and employs a larger gas tank which offers class-leading touring range.

Although the design doesn't strike us as very imaginative, the leather surfaces are beautifully stitched together and the trim pieces are appropriately upscale - Car and Driver

2022 BMW M8 Competition Vs 202 Bentley Continental GT V8 Coupe

While both the coupes stand in a very different budget range, they both are power cruisers with plenty of luxury amenities on offer. While there is no comparison to the luxe appeal of the Bentley, BMW aces the performance part. 

It gets much more standard features and technology and is easier to maintain in long run. The complimentary maintenance, the marginally larger trunk, lower price tag, and the track-ready performance, all tilt the scales towards the 2022 M8 Coupe. 

2022 BMW M8 Competition Vs 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo

The 2022 Porsche 911 will boast of a similar road scraping performance as the present model. It is the fastest of the lot with more horsepower and handles even better. However, considering its current price, the 2022 version will be more expensive and exclusive at the same time.

Also, the list of standard features is rather small and buyers need to spend even more by opting for the necessary options. It will also be less practical as compared to the M8. The extra premium you’ll be paying is for its track-ready approach, better dynamics, and timeless Porsche elegance.

2022 BMW M8 Competition Vs 2022 Jaguar F-Type R

The 2022 Jaguar F-Type R is expected to be priced relatively less than the M8. However, it will offer less performance and seating capacity as compared to the M8. The exterior and interior styling is one of the best in the segment and it's not too bad in terms of handling.

The two-seater F-Type will be low on practicality and won’t be able to offer the sheer driving pleasure of the M8. The F-Type is a good performer but is a no-match for the M8, and it will be strictly for Jaguar fans or the ones with a stricter budget.

The 2022 BMW M8 Competition now offers better performance and proves to be track-ready in most scenarios with its better handling and better optional braking features. It also comes with a host of advanced safety features that will ensure your peace of mind. The infotainment system is also loaded enough to entertain and inform you. Overall the pros of the 2022 M8 Coupe outruns its rivals in most aspects, so we won't mind recommending this Bavarian to you.
