BMW knows that there’s more to car ownership than, well, the car itself. You’ve gotta get the keychain, the branded hat, and maybe even the umbrella and “Golfsport” gift set. And if you’re keen to pass the passion on to the next generation, there’s also the kid-sized BMW M8 GTE ride-on, recently introduced as part of the company’s 2020 Lifestyle Collection that will soon be arriving at Bimmer dealers everywhere.
Sporting the same BMW Motorsport livery as the No. 1 M8 GTE, the kid-sized electric also boasts race-ready, yellow-tinted lighting elements that actually work. The ride-on also gets realistic engine sounds, opening doors, and a built-in MP3 interface that plays music and audio files.
Announced for the European market (but very likely heading to the U.S. too), the M8 GTE ride-on will likely ape the already-available i8 kiddie car with a 12-volt battery and a top speed of 2.5 mph, as well as an operating time of 1-2 hours…
