Project
Stone

Engineering emotion through precision. BMW is done building the M8 — this one is still out here proving why they should never have stopped.

The Story

Built, not bought.
Driven, not parked.

This isn't a garage queen. Project Stone lives in the DFW area — and it earns its keep on the road. It rolls into the 7-Eleven meets with the DFW crew, headlights stacked three deep, stories traded over gas-station coffee. It's been across the map and back with every mile documented.

The build went through BimmersOnly in Dallas — every tune, every install, every panel of carbon. Parts hand-picked one at a time, then handed to people who treat an M8 like it deserves. FI Exhaust backed the sound.

While others follow trends… the M8 sets the standard. Top of the game isn't claimed — it's proven.

The community found the car before the internet did: Supers & Slurpees nights, BimmerInvasion, rooftop shoots at dusk. What you see here is what the DFW BMW scene looks like when it shows up for one of its own.

The supercar BMW
almost built

The M8 badge carries a 35-year story most people have never heard — born as a secret supercar, buried for two decades, resurrected once, and now retired for good.

1990

The secret M8

BMW M secretly builds an M8 prototype on the original E31 8 Series under Paul Rosche — the engineer behind BMW's Formula 1 engines. A ~6.1-liter S70 V12 pushing up to 640 hp, individual throttle bodies, carbon intake manifolds. A true supercar, aimed straight at Ferrari.

1991

Canceled — and hidden

Management kills the project: too expensive, "no market." The single finished prototype is locked away in a secret storage facility. BMW doesn't admit the car exists for almost 20 years, until it's finally revealed at the BMW Museum in 2010.

1992

The engine lives on — in a McLaren

The M8's engine program becomes the S70/2 V12 — the heart of the McLaren F1, the greatest supercar of its era and the fastest naturally-aspirated production car ever made. BMW built a supercar engine after all. It just wore someone else's badge.

2019

The name returns

Twenty-nine years later, BMW finally puts M8 on a production car. The F92 M8 Competition launches with 617 hp — the most powerful M car BMW had ever sold — while the M8 GTE leads BMW's factory effort at Le Mans and Daytona.

2025

End of the line

BMW quietly ends M8 and 8 Series production. No successor is planned. The only nameplate BMW ever pointed at supercar territory closes its book — making the final F92s the last of the line.

Now

Project Stone

One of the last F92 M8 Competitions built — 775 horsepower, carbon at every corner, still driven hard in the DFW area. The closing entry in a 35-year story, and it's still being written.

The last of the line
End of an Era

BMW stopped making it.
We didn't stop driving it.

The F92 M8 Competition is the last of its kind — the final, most powerful expression of BMW's super-GT idea before the badge was retired. There is no successor. No next-gen M8 is coming.

That's what makes this car worth documenting: every mile from here forward is a mile BMW will never build again. Project Stone isn't a museum piece. It's an active, evolving 775-horsepower argument that the M8 deserved better than a quiet exit.
