Man BMW has really upped their game….Im a AMG guy but some of the new M cars are making me lean towards BMW M…especially the interiors 😎 Great video Tedward!!
I absolutely love BMWs, but I would certainly want to put a more sporty exhaust on this one! Also I look forward to your snowy drift drives this weekend!
@@lifesAtrip513 well I think you've been lied to. They're fun cars for sure. I don't know what you'd consider fun though. My E90 is tuned, on coilovers and has been pretty fun for me.
My neighbor has one of these and 16 year old me is very spoiled with my definition of a what fast is. This thing is a blast to drive and the gran coupe is so much more practical than the coupe.
i fell in love w bmw when my older brother got one, from that day i knew i wanted a bmw n this m8 has had my eye for awhile now. i spent so much of my time watching videos about it😂
My dream cars tend to be Grand Touring cars and the BMW M8 checks all the boxes. Maybe as a M2 owner I am biased, but M8 is quickly becoming my favorite Grand Touring car.
Im a bmw fanboy I have been wanting one since 16 finally purchased my first one in November to own and I loved every second of this video thank you !!!
@Tedward Backroad etiquette! This is the thing so few understand, and I'm so happy that you do. Your videos are how-not-to-be-a-dick 101. Even though you started with a good mindset, I'm happy to see your etiquette evolve over the years of watching even more so. Cheers.
10:40 Have you made a video where you talk a bit more in-depth about these things? I know of the highway etiquette one, but I'd love to hear more about how to drive a car fast and safe, especially as I've only been driving for 2 years.
I love that moment we as drivers have when you're just chilling in granny mode and then you see someone else bombing down the road and you're like hell yeah initiate ape mode and then you're bombing too lol
that's how i am. i'll be chilling in the right lane with auto start on, efficient mode, comfort suspension and valves closed coming home from work until I see someone think they have a faster car then I start pushing buttons like i'm in an airplane.
Love your videos and how knowledgeable you are about the different cars you drive. Curious if you've ever looked at a 3.0 Lincoln MKZ AWD. Most underrated sleeper imo especially for what it is
@@jordanhill4870 yeah I'm in my twenties and if they didn't redesign the front end I wouldn't even consider one bc that mustache grille just screams boomer mobile to me. But yeah 400hp in the 3.0s make for a surprisingly fast American land yacht
Good job, buddy! I do like BMW as a brand and have much respect for it. That being said, the criticism that I myself have is the break pedal. I find it to firm. Not sure if that particular model has that word break pedal but the SUVs do have them. I think from engineering standpoint they can do something better. Again, this is my opinion.
Imho the M treatment is just lost on these larger BMW’s, especially with how they’re driven like 90% of the time. Makes sense on a 2 or 3 series, but for a 5 series on up, an Alpina would definitely be my personal choice. Much better grand tourer with still plenty of handling chops, and aesthetically more my taste, especially in green with the multispoke rims.
Lovely video as always, that road looks familiar, is that the backroad from winter street in Waltham leading to rt2, used to be my daily drive home, loved driving on that twisty backroad.
have to resist the urge to call it BMW "mate" i just think the avg person buying BMWs now is different from the avg person buying BMWs 20 years ago that being said as much as I don't like the looks of the regular 8 and M8, the alpina version in green and the multispokes is killer
Coming from imports for the last 17 years, I'm honestly and respectfully going to say BMW has won my driving experience for this year . Speed, style and ride comfortability. It's just really different and exciting. No wonder old white ppl love this shit.
My mum is interested in getting a M850i or a M8/M8 Comp is the M8 worth it? The is acceleration and power boost worth an extra 40k as the top speed is null as no one realistically can go the full 190 mph
@@TedwardDrives im just a huge car Enthusiast i want to keep it and get another toy but I'm not rich enough hahah lol but i just want a "real supercar" something around 130k or less. I wanna 2017 or newer R8 but thier too much right now.
@@seansco1 shut the fuck up, it's not an American 80s automatic, it's a zf 8 speed, a manual would slow the car down and make it jerky with the awd traction
Mercedes lost me when they went with the Teslaesque center console tv screen. Huge distraction and dangerous to all pedestrians Not as bad as the tesla since Merc kept their normal speedo in the proper place in front of the driver, but bad enough to not ever buy one again. Job of the driver is to watch the road, not a big screen tv. Love the M8, looking into buying one now.
I own an M5C and have driven both and prefer the bmw, but that's mainly styling, they drive very similar. Bmw has faster feeling transmission is the most noticeable for me
The Car Enthusiast's "ooooh" sound at 14:57 - so pure lol
This looks like a blast! Jealous of you my man. Keep up the content
Little slippery ah watch out 🤣🤣🤣
My initial thought: Dont lose it.
Teds first words: Dont lose it.
Man BMW has really upped their game….Im a AMG guy but some of the new M cars are making me lean towards BMW M…especially the interiors 😎 Great video Tedward!!
the new individual interiors are great. well always has been.
I’m also a big AMG guy but BMW does deserve some respect.
Especially since AMG has LOST THEIR WAY as of late(see latest C63, GLC63 etc for examples of mediocrity)
Amg gt interior is still on another level and the engine is handmade. Not sure if the same is said about any M vehicle.
The cinematic shots in the beginning are bonkers! I love how there are more sprinkled throughout as well! Keep it up!
Thanks!
I absolutely love BMWs, but I would certainly want to put a more sporty exhaust on this one!

+1 for the snowy drifts
I've heard that Audis and Bmw are the most boring luxury cars to drive

15:22 Audi almost lost it 😂

5:55 Anyone else getting the Forza Horizo 4 vibe on this road? This looks exactly like the one close to the lake. 😂

If this is already crazy, just imagine what an Alpina version of this would feel like!
Less crazy
Its not that crazy, it uses the 850's engine with a different tune to give it more power but its a more luxurious car so its a bit softer.
Jesus loves you
Extremely beautiful 4 door
Immediate thumbs up just for the comment on the cringy M grille stripes
I don’t even like watching car videos but the way you put together the car specs I have to watch the whole video 🤣🤣
it is a beautiful car and i can understand someone wanting something special for their 6 figures but i'd probably just take an M5 Comp.
Id take the normal f90 only because i need the comfier suspension
@@TheBigboySid G30?
@@martinbladowski1312 nope. F90 non comp.
M550i
why not cs?
15:22 car in front almost wiped out
thats crazy i didnt see that
Do a M3 driving video on back road etiquette please!
I’m a bmw person I have a f30 330i with a muffler delete love it and love how it’s stiff
Dude, at 15:00 -> we can read the speedometer on the HUD... 😅👍
Left it for you
nah its actually in kph
@@flowerzoni nope
@@flowerzoni that would be slow. 100 kph is equal to 62 mph.
@@Freimopp777 it was sarcasm
I really loves gran Coupe rear design than the traditional BMW design. It looks futuristic
14:56 I know you immediately thought " I gotta catch up to him" 🤣, he was no match for the M8 lol
When I see the speedo get blurry:
This is where the fun begins!
that Audi was flying!
Man I love his videos!!🤩👍🏻👍🏻
My god I totally forgot how a smaller bmw front grill looks actually good 🤷♂️

Reasons to be a surgeon. 1 Love the passion of helping ppl 2 beemer m8
I love the 4.4 liter in those rs4/rs5
Tedward you should do a review on the mid 000s v10 m6!
Ready for some more snow driving videos after this weekend!
Are you guys getting this snow storm up there too?? 8 inches in philly. Waiting for the m3 snow video
I’m in Daytona for Rolex 24
Damn, I'm in a 650i and didn't really care for the new 8 series but it's growing on me.
The downshifts were harsh because you left the gearing in its fastest and most sporty settings
need a vid on backroad edict!
I wish we got the quad turbo B57 diesel a quad turbo diesel with 400hp is absolutely wild

It needs the sound of a Lexus LC500. Not even a AMG is going to get near that.
love the look of the m8

Yeah I’ll be getting one soon

You can find everything in your car if you just get on the brake a little bit 😂😂😂
The balls of bmw putting torque converters in all their m cars now
Notification squad!!!
There's jail speeds, and then there's alerting the national guard speeds...
EDIT: HOLY SHIT THAT S5 LOL
I really like the styling on these, especially the two door but boy are they getting heavy!
When can we see an Audi S6 or S7?
9:53 Nice
What's up Ted!!!!!
Was that an Audi S5 about to lose control like a RWD car 🥴😂
Front honeycomb grille, exhaust note and silver mirror cover tells me its a B8 RS5 but exhaust tips tells me its an S5. Im siding more towards RS5 😅
Dream car 🔥😍
I heard about the big blizzard please make a drift video in the m3
Was in the pits at Daytona with Acura during the storm
Nice video. 1 of 8 🤔🤔
Can you review the lexus rcf love the videos btw 😃

What kind of Audi were you chasing?
This is an old man car that they can get in and drive slowly
E46 touring has the same rear armrest design, 20+ years go
Imo the M6 F06 body style is much nicer.
I wish BMW would update their interiors though..
Why do you blur the hud speed ?
I have a good question... i have a 2020 GT500, what car would be a great replacement?
what makes you want to replace the GT500?

German cars just do it best 👌
Only thing i would change about it is more hp maybe 650 615 from factory
14:57 👀
I’m a big fan of these but I’d still choose AMG GT63s four door over it.
My 318i was slightly more down market.
Okay. Help. Idk if I want the new 760i or the M8 Gran Coupe. But I’m not having a dealership pull my credit just to test drive.
007 should demand this as his car.
not as long as aston martins exist
wanted to see the part where you gapped the audi ;)
I know for a fact he wanted to catch up to the audi and go with it
Would love one if it had a 6 speed
Would be awful in manual

Alpina B8 plz
Engine was still cold during sound test. Lots of pops and bangs when she’s warmed up
Unlikely since it had just been driven for about 20 minutes. Shut down for about as long as the intro and then started
Started blurring out your speed, huh? You forgot the HUD, though. :]
left it for keen eyes to enjoy. Guess I won't leave any Easter eggs for you next time.
That audi lol
