BMW M8 Convertible 2019

The M8 Convertible was developed through testing in very different environments, including BMW’s Miramas circuit, the winter facility in Arjeplog, and the Nürburgring Nordschleife. BMW also says that lessons from the M8 GTE racing program influenced the configuration of the road car. A practical detail is the fabric roof: its multilayer construction can be opened or closed in 15 seconds and can be operated while the car is moving at low speed.

BMW introduced the M8 Convertible in 2019, with a world premiere in June and market availability scheduled from September of that year. Official BMW material identifies the convertible with the F91 internal model code and separates it from the more powerful M8 Competition Convertible. The sources consulted do not provide a verified production total specifically for the 2019 M8 Convertible, so no production figure should be assigned to the model. Equipment, pricing, and launch timing could also vary between markets, particularly across continental Europe, the United Kingdom, and North America. The car was positioned as a range-topping luxury-performance convertible rather than a mass-volume model.

Early reviews of the 8 Series family generally praised its combination of performance, long-distance comfort, and luxury materials. In its test of the M850i Convertible, Car and Driver recorded very strong acceleration and described the new car as a significant step beyond the previous 6 Series, while also noting the convertible’s substantial weight. Later coverage of the M8 range highlighted a chassis that felt more responsive and performance-focused than the lesser 8 Series models. The evidence should be read carefully, however, because several publications tested the M8 Competition or the M850i rather than the standard 600-hp M8 Convertible. That distinction matters when applying review conclusions to this exact variant.
