BMW doesn"t pause for breath. Moment after the unveiling of its new M8 Competition comes the release of numerous aftermarket M Performance extras. And confirmation that the base M8 will have 592bhp. Yeah, the M Division does strong base cars. Now, we"re rather taken by the relatively subtle styling of the M8, so the need for extra bits and bobs being strapped to it is arguably negligible. But let"s go through it all anyway. First up, the abundant carbonfibre on the exterior, with some newly expensive-to-scuff splitters and sills that BMW helpfully describes as "UV and temperature-resistant and car wash compatible". The carbon around the kidney grille, shoved in the side gills and wrapped around the mirrors, meanwhile? We"ll leave opinions on that to you.
