2020 BMW M8 GRAN COUPE FIRST EDITION

This BMW M8 Gran Coupe First Edition is a stunning high-performance model, boasting unique features as part of the 400-unit special edition run, and presented in as-new condition. Under the bonnet is a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing up to 616bhp, driving all four wheels via the eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift. The odometer shows just 368 miles.

First registered on 18 September 2020, this M8 has been in single ownership from new, as part of a significant collection of performance BMWs and M cars in particular. It is one of just 10 such cars in the UK.

Finished in the striking Aurora Diamond Green metallic hue, the First Edition’s interior is upholstered in full Taruma Brown ‘Merino’ leather. Gold bronze accents adorn the exterior - around the window frames, wing vents, the kidney grilles, and for the badging - as well as within the gloss black door sill tread plates. The M8 Gran Coupe First Edition is also equipped with the Laserlights headlight technology, accented in yellow. Its specification is rounded off by bespoke star-spoke 20-inch alloy wheels, which also have gold bronze highlights.

This M8’s extensive factory specification also includes the Competition Package, M Driver Package, M Sport exhaust system, carbon-fibre engine cover, ceramic brakes, and sport differential. The car also has the Comfort Access package, soft-close doors, Climate Comfort windscreen, Heat Comfort package and front seat ventilation, and sunblinds for the rear windows. Its convenience and assistance technology incorporates the Display Key, Driving Assistant Professional, High-beam Assistant, and Parking Assistance Plus; as well as the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround-sound system, enhanced Bluetooth and wireless charging, and WiFi hotspot preparation.

The car’s bodywork and paint remain in immaculate, unmarked condition, with absolutely no damage or blemishes in the finish. The Aurora Green Diamond hue gives this M8 Gran Coupe a sophisticated appearance, while the gold bronze accents highlight the special nature of this First Edition model. It benefits from full front-end paint protection film (PPF) including wings, mirrors, side sills, and boot sill, as well as a full ceramic coating by Xpel. There is no kerbing damage to any of the alloy wheels.

Inside, the Taruma Brown upholstery complements the exterior perfectly, and the car is specified with the supportive M seats and M seat belts with tri-colour stitching. All of the leather is in perfect condition, with no wear or damage. Bright metal and glossy Piano Black interior accents enhance the car’s contemporary aesthetic, and all of the trim presents superbly. The M8 Gran Coupe makes a fine long-distance GT car, equipped with four-zone climate control and heated seats for both front and rear outboard occupants, not to mention plenty of USB charging sockets. The front seats are also ventilated, and the driver benefits from adaptive cruise control, Professional media and navigation, a heated steering wheel, and a raft of driver assist systems. There are no electrical faults, and all of the switches and buttons are in as-new condition.

The car will not be due a first annual service until September 2021, and the first MOT will not be required until September 2023. Its wheels are shod in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres on all four corners, which are in great shape with virtually full tread remaining.

This BMW M8 Gran Coupe First Edition is a potent and practical four-door coupe, which is offered in as-new condition by its first and only owner. For someone who likes to stand out from the crowd, this ‘1 of 400’ First Edition model has road presence in spades, with a unique and eye-catching colour scheme, and all of the standard equipment as seen on the M8 Competition.
