What are 10 fun facts about the BMW M8?

➊ The BMW M8 features an electric water pump dedicated to cool just the twin turbos, even after the engine has been turned off.

➋ The M xDrive system, also found on the F90 M5, is a rear wheel biased system and only brings the front wheels into action when the rear wheels reached the limits of power transfer and when additional traction is required. Deactivating DSC brings the car into full rear wheel drive mode.

➌ An all new braking system is featured on the G14 / G15 M8 which allows the driver to chose between two brake pedal feel settings, COMFORT and SPORT. These modes alter the amount of pressure on the brake pedal.

➍ The BMW M8 Competition Package includes stiffer motor mounts (increases agility on turn in), sharper steering, tuned suspension, increased camber, ball joint toe links (in lieu of rubber) and more.

➎ The M8 standard interior trim is carbon fiber, typically on option on other M models.

➏ The M8 Competition models feature a TRACK mode which not only turns off all drier aids, it also turns off the radio and center screen to ensure maximum concentration on the track. TRACK mode also blanks out road sign detection and distance information.

➐ The M8 features many optional extras such as heated arm rests (doors and center arm rest), sun protection glass as well as premium Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround sound system with a 16 channel amp and up to 16 speakers of which some are illuminated.

➑ The M8 M Performance Carbon Package has additional carbon parts than the standard carbon package BMW offers. The additional package includes carbon side skirts, kidney grills and engine cover. All carbon parts are made by hand and finished in high gloss with UV and temperature resistant coatings.

➒ The M8 base models feature a body color painted spoiler on the rear boot lid to improve aerodynamic balance while the Competition models are painted in black.

➓ The M8 features an all-new brake booster system which saves 2kg (4.4 lbs) over a traditional brake booster system. This system is a vacuum free design which increases efficiency. Brake pressure is triggered by an electric actuator which allows for a more dynamic and faster, precise activation by the stability control system.
