The history of the M8 dates back to the 1990s, when the Bavarian brand created the M8 E31 prototype based on the original 8 Series. This project never reached serial production, but became one of the most interesting pages in the history of the brand. The prototype was equipped with a 6,0-liter naturally aspirated V12 with a capacity of 640 hp. and a torque of 650 Nm. Its performance was ahead of most BMW cars until 2025.
