📖BMW M8 Convertible F91 (2019-2022): open-top 625 hp flagship combining M xDrive traction with grand-touring luxury

BMW M8 Convertible (F91) (2019-2022)

Introduced in 2019, the BMW M8 Convertible F91 assumed the role of BMW’s open-top flagship, packing a 4.4-litre twin-turbo S63B44Tx V8 developing 600 hp in standard guise and 625 hp in Competition specification. Equipped with the rear-biased M xDrive all-wheel-drive system and an active M differential, it dispatched 0-62 mph in just 3.3 seconds. Sustaining this high-tech convertible requires meticulous BMW M8 maintenance, with a sharp focus on drivetrain fluids and thermal management.

Power is managed by an eight-speed M Steptronic torque-converter automatic transmission (ZF 8HP) featuring Drivelogic, replacing the dual-clutch units of previous generations for smoother low-speed manners. The twin-turbo V8 produces intense heat within the engine bay, necessitating regular inspection of turbo coolant hoses, oil feed lines, and ignition coil packs.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Explosive all-weather acceleration and selectable 2WD rear-wheel-drive mode via M xDrive.
  • Outstanding low-speed refinement and rapid highway shifting from the eight-speed M Steptronic gearbox.
  • Exceptional sound insulation and rapid folding cycle from the multi-layer acoustic soft-top.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • Turbocharger cooling lines: check plastic junctions in the engine valley for signs of thermal fatigue.
  • M xDrive transfer box: ensure tyres have matching tread depth across both axles to avoid transfer clutch strain.
  • Ignition coils and spark plugs: monitor for high-load misfires under full boost pressure.
  • Convertible roof drainage channels: verify that drain tubes behind the rear wheel arches remain free of debris.
  • Ceramic or composite brake discs: inspect disc surfaces and brake pads under the car's 2,085 kg weight.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Engine oil and filter change: every 10,000 to 12,000 km or 12 months with BMW LL-01 / LL-12 FE oil.
  • Spark plug replacement: every 30,000 km to safeguard ignition coils and engine stability.
  • M xDrive transfer box and differential fluid service: every 60,000 km.
