2021 BMW M850i Review: Sports Car Or Muscle Car ??
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 авг 2024
- This week I got behind the wheel of a 2021 BMW M850i coupe, and boy oh boy was thing a blast to drive! While the Porsche 911 commands your attention and feels like an occasion, this German beast asks nothing of you but to take a seat (in exceptionally comfortable seats) and GO! While I must admit, I do love a car that requires your attention, and recognize that this is a dying art form in the automotive industry... there's something so satisfying about a big and luxurious Grand Tourer. Especially when that GT happens to pump 523 horses out of a twin-turbo V8 :)
I loved the driving position in the M850i, as well as all the creature comforts it offered as opposed to its predecessors... I just happen to think that: Burly V8 + Heavy + Leather/Comfort = Muscle Car !!
Call me crazy, but this was a refined Camaro, not a heavy 911... they stem from two completely different philosophies, and likely polarize consumers. If you enjoy the light and playful nature of a rear engine Porsche, you might find the M850i, regardless of its power, to be obese. If you believe the Porsche to be unsubstantial and too "go karty" then the M850i is the 'sporty' coupe for you!
Watch the video to find out more and see just how poorly this large coupe does in the Tall Boy Test!!

once again: Bimmer, Benz, or Bentley?
Would you guys take this or a base 911?
This is a tough one, I like how the BMW is more aggressive lookin. However, the 911 just looks so clean I would maybe take that over this bad boiiii
That’s a great question. Definitely need to drive the 8 series to see how I feel about it. Porsches are just tooo fun
I would say 911 !
I would take the M8
@@rickeyhill7289 beast 😎
Waited 3 years for this car to depreciate. I've looked at the Base 911, Aston Martin Vantage, C63s and more. This is the best car in their price range. Grabbed this for $65K with 20K miles CPO /w warranty.
As an owner of a 22 M850 Gran Coupe, I looked real hard at the "real" M8 and here is the math I came up with. The 850 is 95% of the car that the M8 is at 71% of the cost. I could afford the M8, but why pay that much more for so little other than bragging rights. I'm old enough to not get caught up in pissing and ego contests and I'm not here to put more money in other's pockets.
Thats the issue I was having as well. I’m going to buy my M850i this December but one if my friends kept saying give 30k more and get the M8. I checked the M8 out but just because it has a bit more horsepower and is a “real” M car, I can’t justify myself paying that much extra when I could be saving it for something else even though I can afford it.
@@realkingrav2265 It's always the people who don't own an M car, or a bmw at all, trying to talk down on the M lites.
With the money I saved from not getting the M8, I just went and wrote a check for a 23 M340 for the wife.
The M8 only has 94 HP more than the M850...its the same car for the most part with better suspension and a rear wheel option. You can easily tune the 850 for an extra 100 hp. M8 not worth it in my book. 850 convertible is unmatched.
You made the right choice!!!!!
If you are buying a coupe anything, you are not buying it for the room in the backseat. The backseat is for backpacks, a brief case, or an occasional emergency passenger.
To equip the BMW 850i with a level equal to the Carrera 4S, the Porsche will cost over $30,000 more, yet it's much less luxurious. I have owned both, and the Porsche is louder, performs marginally better, bottoms out occasionally due to poor pavement in the real world, and the Porsche is downright spartan compared to the luxe, Merino BMW interior with glass controls and carbon accents everywhere-including the carbon roof. I love the Porsche, but it's so loud as to be tiring for any trips over an hour. Tougher to enter and exit. Yes, the Porsche is a sports car and the BMW is a GT. I bought a loaded M850i and absolutely love it.
Well said, happy to hear you're enjoying a solid Bimmer! 😎
And when it comes to resale, the 911 will hold its value, unlike this beast. I've owned 2 Porsches and 5 BMWs, so I love both marques, but it's Porsche all day long for me if I have to choose.
Msrp $120k plus tax 2 years after $60k never buy new im looking to get the 2022 fully loaded around 70k
agreed with everything you said. I almost pulled the trigger on one of these and even considered an m8 comp but they just didn’t feel like real sports cars. Ended going with a Z06 and have no regrets! It really turns heads and is incredibly fun to drive! A true sports car!
Nice review. Good luck with the channel.
Appreciate it!! Sorry for the late response
She’s a beauty and nice review bro. You have a new subscriber with me.
Thank you!!
Sweet!!
Sure is !
Nice video fam… this cars a beast if you could ONLY have one car I would choose this over a base 911 all day…however if I had a dedicated daily four door or SUV, a base 911 would be fine…people buying these probably can do both 🤣
Hahah ya... I'm still partial to the Porsche of course, but this is hell of a "grand tourer"
A great review! I was wondering if red/black interior or tan/black interior would look better with this Dravit Gray Metallic like the one you got? Thank you.
Personally I prefer all black or the red/black this car had!
@@Reoniz Thank you! I am trying to decide between M850i and Jaguar F-Type R. Have you had a chance to review F-Type R? Which one would you pick? I appreciate your suggestions.
Wide, Sleek and Low “ Great 👍
Thank you 😎
@@Reoniz Beautiful “
@@Reoniz Is the steering too stiff in sport mode ????
@@Braglemaster123 personally... no! But I really like heavy steering, if you like looser steering then yes it might be a touch too heavy in sport+ mode
I picked up my 850 Grand Coupe two months ago. My two favorite recent cars were the 911 S and the G12 7 series I owned. The 911 is just a waste of capabilities where I live (Texas. All flat, no real driving roads) while the 7 series is just not sporty enough when you`re in the mood (which is rare again in Texas, but every now and again you just want the excitement of a sporty car).
This is where the 850 comes in. It`s comfortable enough for daily driving and eating miles; but sporty enough when you want to step on it and have some fun without dealing with the harshness of the M8. But I agree, it would be better without the M badge (BMW should have just called it the 850).
Congratulations I also live in Texas and am planning to buy this car in December. It seems like a perfect daily and certainly has a lot of road presence.
@@realkingrav2265 You will not regret it. One word of caution. The 20 inch wheels have super thin rubber on them. Every pothole or other imperfection in the road will feel like the car is being ripped apart. Be very very careful. A wheel and tire warranty is your best friend.
Texas has some fine driving roads. Leave west TX and come to the hill country. The Porsche club comes here from all over the US to drive our roads.
Just got this EXACT vehicle last week. Do you know if the paddle shifters need to be used in Sport Plus mode? Or can I turn sport plus on without having to use the paddle shifters? Tried searching online and couldn’t find anything in this.
You can leave the car in normal 'D' mode while in Sport Plus and do NOT need to use the paddles.
I would however suggest using the paddles while in Sport Plus because the throttle is going to be more sensitive and the car will hold gears for what may seem like too long if you're not giving it the full beans... that way you have more control over the shift points.
I'm sure you've figured it out by now, but while in comfort mode you can hold the left shift paddle for a few seconds and it'll go into the best lowest gear to allow you to pass or start using the shift paddles.
will take this over the new m3 or M4 any day. what colour is this?
That's a hot take!! It certainly looks better than the new G80's, but I'm still running with the true 'M'
It's Dravit Gray metallic
I’m not sure if I would compare this and a Porsche
Absolutely Correct. VERY different cars.
How are the shifts in manual mode- super fast?
Not DCT fast, but definitely adequate for this application!
Should i get this or keep my 21 ZL1 or go for AMG GT/GTS 16-17
All such different beasts, I think the ZL1 is a pretty phenomenal driving experience, probably better than both the other options, but not as luxurious.
Matter of fact, IMO, it's ZL1 > AMG GT > M850i in terms of performance/driving pleasure... and just about the complete opposite in terms of luxury and comfort.
So you're gonna have to make a personal decision based on those factors!
@@Reoniz thank you for replying back quickly that means a lot!
@@ctetuning no prob!
Your wide angle lens makes your fingers look like they want to go up my nose.
Sexy car!
Hahah true
Dude a ecu tune and your at 650 hp no problem
True!!
I’m at 750 👍🏽
Do you know what is the color of this car?
I believe it was Dravit Gray Metallic
@@Reoniz thanks!!
what color is that??
Dravit grey metallic
@@Reoniz thank you...gorgeous
I just got myi today 2022 for 102
Congrats man!
Do you still have it...just got one myself.
How tall are you?
About 6'2
Nicee I wondering the same thing
And this engine shuts off in comfort , u should checked there is a button above the modes , u push that and it won’t shut off my dude , it’s real m too same as M8 like I said only difference is horse power, torque and suspension
Yes I'm very aware that there's a button that shuts off the auto stop/start... something I always utilize in my own car!! That doesn't take away from the fact that when the function is turned on, which a potential owner may want, it jolts to a more abrupt stop than I would like
Agreed
the upgraded speakers are pretty bad in my opinion
You need to specifically adjust the base, mid-range and treble features to properly use the Bowers & Wilkins stereo. Then you will really notice the quality of the system.
@@robertmorris8573 That's true, but for that money you can get far superior aftermarket system.
@@14DENISS88 do y’all think the upgraded sound system is worth it ? How it the standard music system ?
I wish car reviewers would stop saying the M850 isn’t a real M car when the only reason the M8 exists is because the M850. This is held true since the M8 only comes in the competition package in 2023…
I see what you're saying... but it's still not a true M car, even if the true M variant only exists because of the M850i's success. I'll admit that it's still a very impressive machine and certainly the best "M Performance" trim level car that BMW makes! 😎👍
@@Reoniz i agree not a true M car but for the 40k difference between the M850 and the M8 comp I can make my M850 a lot better than the M8 comp. The 850 has the variant it’s up to us to turn it into a beast
@@jghjjhkhkhk I agree that the value is there. I wouldn't say "a lot better" Bc there's a lot of engineering (suspension tuning, engine internals, brakes, and even the AWD system) that're massively improved on the full M, but ya point taken... an ecu tune and it can keep it up! 😤👍
@@Reoniz I own the M850i Gran Coupe and I watched your video. I've also done a few videos about my car on my channel. I have also owned a 911 Carrera S. While this car is not as precise a sports car as a 911, it's still VERY fast, handles strikingly well for street driving, and you still get that V8 engine. Whether or not it's a "True M car" really doesn't matter. BMW created that confusion themselves when they introduced these "M lite" models. But if you forget about the nomenclature, this car is one of the best high performance GT's out there right now.
Audi definitely has the S8
S8 doesn't come in coupe form .....S63 amg coupe , LC500 coupe M850i/M8 coupe and Porsche are 2dr coupe
You’re saying the engine turns off. But that’s a simple press of a button to turn that function off bro. You have to really spend a good amount of time with a car to grasp it and to bring out its personality
Yes I'm 100% aware as I daily a BMW, but it's a feature that some people leave on and it was just more abrupt in the M850i 🤷🏻♂️
Everything can be programmed to one's taste in this car.
Put it into sport and the start-stop is defeated.
I hate bright red interiors. I wish BMW would stop selling this hue. Burgundy would be much better if they have to have a red in the portfolio.
This man is complaining about comfort mode being comfortable.🤣 The M850I and 911 are not in the same class, just because the cost around the same does not place the 2 in the same class. There are a lot of cars around that price point.
How u making a video and day this is not at real M, lol, same engine asM8 only difference is horse power and suspension my dude , check ur info before making videos
Lol I said it because it's not... it's an "M-lite"... and the engines are not the same!!! The M850i has the N63, and the M8C has the S63... yes they're both 4.4L, but this article explains some of the differences for you
www.caranddriver.com/features/a22604250/two-bmw-twin-turbo-v-8s-emerge-from-the-same-factory-but-dont-call-them-the-same/
And the only difference is not suspension and horsepower... I'll concede that the M850i is the closest "M-lite" to its big brother M, but there's still more that goes on to qualify a proper M car than just suspension and horsepower 😂😂
@Reoniz
The M850 i's a different variation of the M8 which has slightly stiffer suspension, 94 more HP and a rear wheel option...that's it for the most part. I will tune my 850 convertible for another 150 hp to make up the difference and some. Done deal.
