World's First 8-Second BMW M4 Is A 1,000-HP Monster

It’s not every day you get to see a BMW M4 clocking an eight-second quarter-mile time, but that’s exactly what happened with Bernard and his German coupe. He built the car with that purpose in mind – to go faster than his previous nine-second pass with the same car.

In a video posted by Bernard on Instagram, the modified M4 clocked in 8.89 seconds for the quarter-mile sprint at the Cecil County Drag Raceway, finishing at 156 mph. He claims that this is the fastest G8X BMW in the world – a claim that would be hard to dispute because… who’s keeping tabs, really?

Then again, that feat was nothing to scoff at, but it wasn’t without plenty of hard work involved. To achieve the feat, Bernard performed a ton of modifications on his G82 M4, which he calls “Bumblebee,” most of which occurred under the hood.
