You'd think the BMW M8 was already about as M as it could possibly be, right? Wrong! BMW has revealed the car's M Performance Parts catalogue just two days after launching its new 'Porsche Turbo killer', allowing owners tack a range of carbon-fibre bits onto their new M8.

BMW has offered a teaser of its upcoming M8 Coupe and Convertible, revealing details about its highly customisable M Mode. Modern performance cars will let you tweak essentially every facet of their driving experience. Throttle response, engine noise, steering weight – they're all changeable, depending on the driver's mood. REVIEW: BMW 8 Series tested in Australia

The upcoming BMW 8 Series range is set to feature an M850i M Performance variant, according to a new report. BMW Blog claims the Bavarian manufacturer wants to bridge the gap between the entry-level 840i and the flagship M8 with a focused M Performance model. While not confirmed, the M850i is expected to get a version of BMW's 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, developing around 500hp (373kW) with drive sent to all four wheels.
