COMPARE THE 2024 BMW 8 SERIESVS. The Competition
Some cars hide their capabilities behind unassuming facades. The 2024 BMW 8 Series is not one of these cars. Its tailored bodywork shows off the sinewy muscle and blistering performance that awaits those who get behind the wheel. It is fast, thrilling, visceral, raw -- a delight in every body style and trim. Drive one and you will feel the dopamine rush that comes with piloting one of the world’s best sports cars.
Of course, rival models attempt to deliver the same formula BMW has pinned down so well in the new 8 Series. The 2024 Porsche 911 is one such car; the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT is another. While all three chase the title of ultimate grand tourer, only one offers the perfect mix of a powerful engine, decadent interior and impressive performance: the 2024 8 Series.
Our BMW 8 Series vs. Porsche 911 vs. Mercedes-AMG GT comparison has more details on why the BMW outshines the others. But your heart already knows the 8 Series is the clear winner, doesn’t it? If so, visit our BMW dealership near Collierville today and buy or order an 8 Series of your own.
2024 BMW 8 SERIES Specs Comparison
The 2024 BMW 8 Series comes out of the gate offering three distinct body styles: the traditional coupe, sun-loving convertible and even a four-door model known as the Gran Coupe. It’s the only car here that offers all three of these popular body styles.
Then there are the engine options -- perhaps the most exciting feature in all three of these cars. BMW equips most models in the 8 Series lineup with a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, a beast of a powertrain that’s bigger than even the largest available engines in the Mercedes-AMG GT and Porsche 911. The 617 horsepower available in the BMW M8 Competition Coupe further outclasses the Mercedes-AMG GT, which only maxes out at 577 horsepower.
As for all-wheel drive? All models offer it, but the M xDrive system in the BMW 8 Series is in a league of its own. With two-wheel drive capability, the new 8 Series makes it easy for you to pick and choose your preferred traction levels -- perfect for tailoring the fun to the conditions at hand.

Technology is everywhere in the 8 Series interior, but it’s most apparent in the 12.3-inch touchscreen. Not only is this screen packed with the latest BMW connectivity software -- it’s also a bigger display than what’s found in the two competitors profiled here.
You’ll also find that a head-up display comes standard in the BMW 8 Series, something that can’t be said for its rivals. And thanks to the available Harman Kardon® Surround Sound Audio System, you don’t have to wait until the weekend to enjoy a concert-hall experience -- it can be yours every time you get in the driver’s seat.
