ANALYSISHow safe is the 2020 BMW M8 Gran?
The 2020 BMW M8 Gran has no crash test data available from NHTSA, a significant gap for a vehicle in this safety publication's "Light burden" band. This status derives from a record of zero recalls and only five unverified owner complaints over six years. Of those five complaints, one details a crash resulting in a reported injury, with others citing issues in forward collision avoidance and service brakes. These reports, while few and unconfirmed by NHTSA investigation, point to systems critical for crash prevention. Without crash-test results or comparable sibling models, the M8 Gran's safety profile relies heavily on its low complaint volume.
