617bhp BMW M8 Competition 50 Jahre M Edition Launched At Rs 2.55 Crore

The new limited edition M8 Competition 50 Jahre M Edition commands the same price tag as the 'regular' M8 Competition but brings with it a few cosmetic changes.

The BMW M8 Competition 50 Jahre M Edition brings with it gloss black kidney grilles, 20-inch alloy wheels, red brake callipers and the M Sport exhaust system.

The BMW M8 Competition 50 Jahre M Edition is offered in multiple colour options including Daytona Beach Blue, a colour exclusive to the new limited edition model. Other colour options include Frozen Brilliant White, Frozen Marina Bay Blue, Frozen Deep Green and Frozen Deep Grey. Owners can also opt for three metallic colour options - M Isle of Man Green, M Brooklyn Grey and Aventurine Red.

The BMW M8 Competition 50 Jahre M Edition is offered with a host of carbon fibre parts as standard including the front bumper, side air intake, exterior mirror caps, rear diffuser and spoiler. BMW claims these carbon fibre bits help reduce weight and aerodynamic drag which further enhances the M8's handling. Also seen are several M badges.

Step inside the M8 Competition 50 Jahre M Edition and you'll find a few more changes in the form of the Merino leather upholstery, Anthracite Alcantara headliner and M seat belts. Other bits of the interior including the twin displays on the dash are carried over from the regular M8 Competition.

Mechanically, the M8 Competition 50 Jahre M Edition is the same as the standard M8 Competition which means it continues to use the 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that pushes out 617bhp and 750Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox that sends power to all four wheels.

The new BMW M8 Competition 50 Jahre M Edition is the most expensive special edition BMW to date in India. BMW, before the launch of this new limited edition M8, had launched the M340i, 630i M Sport, 530i M Sport, M4 Competition, X7 40i M Sport and the X4 M Sport as part of the 50th birthday celebrations of the 'M' division. BMW will launch three more 50 Jahre M cars in India as part of M's 50th birthday celebrations.
