2022 BMW M8 Coupe Interior and Cargo

As you can expect from any modern M car, the 2022 BMW M8 Coupe is a refined and luxurious machine that exudes quality from top to bottom, and nowhere else is that more evident than inside the cabin. BMW might have kept the styling on the reserved side, but the build quality and material choices are top-notch. The standard Merino leather seats can be upholstered in your choice of Silverstone or Black, or for an additional $3,500, you can go for a more exotic Alcantara cloth and full Merino leather interior in black with Midrand Beige contrast stitching. For the same price, other available full Merino leather upgrades are Silverstone, Sakhir Orange/Black, Midrand Beige, Taruma Brown, or Black. Ivory White and Night Blue, or Ivory White and Tartufo, are also offered but could extend the time you wait for your vehicle.

In terms of trim options, BMW offers Ash Grain Grey-Metallic wood, carbon fiber, Individual Piano Black ($1,080), and Ash Black Silver wood ($1,080). Other nice touches are a Nappa leather finish for the instrument panel and an Anthracite Alcantara headliner.

Considering the cramped rear seats, one might have expected an equally disappointing trunk but this isn't the case at all. This grand tourer has a total trunk capacity of 14.8 cubic feet, which should be enough for two sets of golf bags, and enough underwear and beer to keep you and your buddy happy for a weekend of lousy golf in the next town over. Inside the cabin, you get a shallow center armrest storage bin, a tiny glovebox, reasonable door card storage, and a set of cupholders in the front and back.

A grand car deserves a grand amount of features, and BMW hasn't disappointed in this regard. Every 2022 BMW M8 Coupe comes standard with basics such as a three-spoke power tilt/telescopic M Sport steering wheel, an engine start/stop button, remote engine start, heated and ventilated power front M sport seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and multi-color ambient lighting. On top of that, BMW adds luxuries such as soft-close doors, a 12.3-inch Live Cockpit Professional display, a head-up display, and driver-assistance features such as lane departure warning, frontal collision warning, a rearview camera, and automatic city collision mitigation and braking. A steering assistant and adaptive cruise control are available on a surprisingly short options list.

If the twin-turbo V8 under the hood of the M8 Coupe isn't entertaining enough, you can always look towards the infotainment system. The M8 features a 10.25-inch touchscreen display that works hand-in-hand with BMW's iDrive 7.0 infotainment software. The system can be controlled via steering wheel and center console buttons, a rotary controller, and voice recognition. We found that some of the menus were too far hidden and required us to shift attention away from driving, however. Standard features include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Wi-Fi connectivity, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system that sounds amazing when blasting Two of Hearts by Stacey Q.
