Just came across this channel and I'm honestly surprised you don't have more subs, this video was awesome and the car was so dope. Keep it up bro, wishing you luck from NYC 👍👍👍👍
Track Day TV. Hey man. Great review as always. I today just bought a 17 zo6 and yeah I got the auto. I too am looking for the best performance on the street besides last car was manual figure I take a break. Can’t wait for it to be del in about a week. 2LZ ZO7, comp seats, black on black, 3,200miles Regardless of the auto u sold me on the zo6
Hey thanks man, I appreciate it. Congratulations! It's gonna be a hell of a car. To be honest, you have a 17 so you should be out of warranty in a year or so right? That means you can probably just do a TCU tune and the auto will shift much better. Let me know how those comp seats are. I've always wanted to get my car with them but when I was buying new, the ones with the comp seats just weren't in my budget. Either way, enjoy it!
Track Day TV. Hey just now noticed your reply. Thanks for advice I was thinking same thing tuning the trans. If u know of a particular tune I should go with? I will let u know about the comp seats. Getting del this morning. It’s already after midnight here. I know I should be sleeping but shit can’t wait to drive it. Will be first drive in a ZO6
I love the new display in the 8. The way the rpms and speedo are placed on the display is really innovative. What a cool sound. I see you’ve gone to Spain! Hope it’s great so far. This car has a big fucking presence, greater than the AMG GT, and it’s big fucking presence can only be experienced in person. The weight is always a humongous disadvantage in cars these days. I do not understand why they aren’t taking this into account. If you did do an exhaust on this car, it would have a very gritty sound to it. Right now it sounds nice and reserved, but remove a couple of cats, and it turns demonic. There seems to be a slight delay with the paddles. Interesting. Enjoyed the video a lot. Glad you got to review the 8. I think i suggested you review the 8 a little while back, and I’m glad you got the opportunity. I wouldn’t spend $110,000 on it sadly, but it is brand new. That’s just the way it always is. Still can’t upload videos. Rip to my channel. Hope Spain goes well!
Yeah, I really like the new digital dash too. IMO, it's more intuitive than Audi's virtual cockpit. The exhaust note is great as it is from the factory, I wouldn't go too crazy, just a downpipe is all I think it needs to accentuate the burbles. I mean, downpipe + tune and you're probably close to 700HP. That's insane. But yes, when I first saw the car in person, it's gigantic. I was so scared to drive it around Spain because it was my first time in the country and also the roads were narrow AF. I haven't driven an AMG GT but this car makes the AMG look like a Lotus. As for the paddle delay, I guess it comes with the fact that it isn't a DCT, still a conventional auto. I actually don't think it's that bad especially when you compare it to something like my Z06 where the delay is like half a second. The downshifts are snappy which I like, and on the upshift, the gear change is pretty quick and imperceptible. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I wish I had more time with the car but it was actually a luck thing. I really wanted to get the M850i but initially they said they were out of stock, but at the last moment, they said I could take this one for a day. At 110K, I rather get the M5 Competition. That car looks like an absolute monster based on the specs. Sucks about your channel man. I really hope they do something about it.
Track Day TV it’s a great car, but the M5 is just an M. The i isnt a legit M, but it’s very sporty. Entry level Supercar is what I’ll call it. And hey, if you think the M5 is insane, wait until we get the M8 hehe. Yeah well, I’m just not going to make any more videos until the issue is fixed, and if it ever gets fixed, I’ll upload the vids that have been sitting there, including my track day vid, which came out to be 52 mins long after editing. I got as much content as I could from that day. It was awesome. Anyway, maybe one day I’ll go to Spain to see those roads for myself. They look fun to drive daredevil-like on, but that’s only for people like me who have many deathwishes haha. Cya in the next video man. Take care
Yeah I really hope that they sort your channel out. Those roads are pretty crazy, in my next one, I'll go over them a little more. I always appreciate the conversations we have. Catch you next week brother.
Track Day TV When you start your merch store, don’t forget your Northern cousins and make sure you can ship to Canada. I call dibs on your first order from up North 😀
Truly a beautiful car is it game changing as the first 850 ? That would be a no, give me a twin turbo v12 version for a true m version would make this a true stunner and some edgier styling to make it a real successor to the 90’s 850 in my opinion but overall a great review cool vid angles awesome narrative!
M850I>I8 all day. Great video and it looks like BMW is not willing to let Mercedes run off with the Luxury Sports Sedan Crown. I would love to see the head to head with the S65 AMG
@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy its a design marvel in my eyes. Its cheap tbh and reliable, packing a v8, lovely interior... there is almost nothing that you could not like about this car for that price.
I think the only complaint maybe it being underpowered against its rivals. But I'd have to drive it to really decide. 10 speed auto with that powerplant could be the difference it needs. I was underwhelmed with the GS-F.
A great, and a super vid- many thanks. I always thought the 850's from the early 90's were easily the best looking 8 series cars. This one is quite nice but the styling, especially on the front end, and grill in particular are bland and dated. Can't help but think of Buick when looking at the 8's grill. I bet it's super fine to drive however. Excellent review.
Thank you Neil, I never got a chance to drive the original 850. But I think this is just the appetizer, the main course is the M8. But it'll be expensive and I'm not sure if it'll be worth it at that price segment.
I love the interior, but as an Infiniti G37 owner, I agree that it does resemble the Q60 too much on the exterior. It sounds great and with a tune will be a beast
I don't have anything against the Q60 but being the"flagship" Beemer @ $110k it should resemble anything, I think. You can just buy a Red sport, tune and Bolt-on everything and still have enough cash to fly your family to Spain with the car and film crew!!
It had a naked carbon fiber roof, but I'm not sure about the trunk and the hood. The hood was a b*tch to close though. I don't know if it was just my car or they did that for all M850's.
The M850i feels noticeably larger than the M6, which is already a big car. But from a performance standpoint, the M6 is quicker in a straight line and has better handling dynamics because it is geared more for performance than a dedicated GT car. The M6 should also be about 100 pounds lighter, but that doesn't mean much at this weight class.
Track Day TV Thanks! What I don’t get is why BMW uses that enormous car in the world and Imsa Sport Cars series against Porsches 911’s, Ferraris 488 and others, instead of the M4 and even the new M2 Competition.
Hm, you're the second person to mention that. I didn't feel it during the actual run, but now that I watch it, it does look like there's a hair of a lag between paddle and engagement.
Love the cinematic feel - but your speeds on public roads just feels reckless, selfish and dangerous. Do like that you like the virtual cockpit. I think it’s the classiest out there in terms of styling, if not functionality. So few agree and I don’t understand why.
Love the video, but not sure I'm a fan of the car. I don't think beemer needs another one of these large GT cars when everyone is trying to downsize. I guess they are just trying to fight benz at their own game.
I like this car and i love my tuned 340i but honestly... what other car can i love as much as my charger hellcat? Sell both and get an m5 maybe? I dunno
That's a tough one. Charger Hellcat is a beast of car. But I hear the new M5 Competition is a monster. And it seems to be the perfect marriage of Hellcat and BMW. Choices 🤔
@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy stock for stock hellcat is quicker but it snows here, the m5 pays dividends... im going to keep the kitty through fall and see what develops. I still have an old 2008 corvette ls3 manual which is timeless for its curb weight and driving experience.
@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy strangely ive owned everything from FD rx7s to stis to what I have now but I just cant buy a gtr as well as they are at everything, something about it is perfect for my conditions but awful for me as a person. Drove stock and fbo ones and rode in a 1600bhp one they just dont do it for me.
I'm in the same boat. For me, it's two reasons. One, half of the people in the car club I'm in have GTR's and secondly, my wife forbids me to buy Japanese performance cars because she thinks I'll look like a "ricer" because I'm Asian. 😄
Yeah I really like it but just saying the slope of the back to the hatch really looks like a stang. Love your videos by the way. Your Opinion on all the c8 vette drama?
Thanks man. I've been holding back my opinion of the C8 until I see concrete specs/details/pics. But I'm really excited. I think it's great that they are going to do a mid-engine layout, but if they decide to price it significantly more than what they charge for the C7 generation, it'll no longer be a Corvette. Either way, I think I'll hold onto my C7Z for at least one year into C8 production so they can work out all the first year kinks.

PS.. Another great video! And you got to go to Spain to drive an M850?!! Awesome
Damn, the interior in that car is on another level. Great review.
Crazy production, recently found this channel and I'm loving the content
Get your hands on an F90 M5!!! By the way which time was faster?? Full auto or full manual?
I'd love to do the F90 M5. Always been a fan of that car. The full auto time tended to be faster by about a tenth to two tenths of a second each time.
nice review, i felt like I watched a bit of a movie. nice videography! I really want this car.
Another great video Dan
Appreciate it Stefan! Let's get that collab going sometime soon. 👍
Kudos. Again, very well done review. Good comments, angles and location. That car . . . It is a little conservative looking but nice.
Thanks James! I'd assume the actual M version of this car would look a lot more aggressive 👍
Another amazing video. And what a stunning color. BMW really gets their blues right.
Really nice work on this!
Thanks Eric!
