      @@alengreen589They do, the fuel quality isn’t terrible. It will depend on the station, but most are good.
      The car will make more power than it’s rated at even with the lowest octane fuel, it makes more power with higher octane though.
      If you run e30 mix on the stock tune, the ecu will advance timing and make more power. It’s a good way to make slightly more power 10-30whp without tuning or modifying

      If it’s the European model - they are rated at 625 HP; not, 617. It’s interesting that there are a lot of claims that the cars has more power than its rated; yet, I cannot find ONE video of a stock one on a dyno. How is that even possible? Not, one single video that supports the claim of underrated power. Please let me know a channel if you’ve seen any.

    At MSRP these are a tougher sell due to the competition, but depreciation is crazy on these and you can pick up a few year old model for $70-80K. I think at that price, it's an insane bargain.

    There is no winning for the M8 Competition - some reviewers don't like it because it is too smooth. This guy says it is too stiff. Others claim that it has too many technical responses and others say it is too raw. The one thing about "opinions" is that everyone has one and they are merely that - an opinion.
    I've seen so many reviews and it is hard to know who to take seriously. Some complain that the response from the car is too mechanical and that they don't get to enjoy the "sports car" feel. Then you turn around and have another reviewer saying that the car could have a much softer ride.
    Here is my take - this car is well balance and super responsive. Smooth when it has too be smooth and rugged on rugged surfaces. The car adjusts well to many different environments and even when in "Comfort" mode - the car flies out of a complete stop. I love everything about the design and about the response from those driving by. I have not been out without at least having one person asking me "what is that?" I've gone to many car shows in which car enthusiasts just find themselves fascinated by the way this car looks. I can say that the car is a lot nicer than I anticipated - based on many "iffy" reviews.
    Had the option of getting the M8 Competition or a 911 Turbo S and I went for the M8 - no regrets. My buddies driving 911 Turbo S are blown away by the looks of this beast. No, I am not saying that it is more of a car than a 911 Turbo S; but, I am saying that I have no regrets and love every bit of it.
    Pricing? It is not priced for just anyone and there is nothing wrong with that. The car was build for a specific market and there is nothing wrong with that.
    Fuel efficiency? Nobody will be running their car at full blast every moment. I am getting between 21-23 MPG with the occasional flooring when in an open stretch. The car is very efficient if you cruise with it when in town.

      This car is an absolute blast to drive. I came out of a 2011 911 T s convertible, and yes, porsche steering is in a league by itself, I am totally satisfied with my decision. Gas mileage is very similar to the porsche 21 to 23 mpg on average with spirited driving. M8 convertible is a tad more comfortable on the longer road trips vs. porsche. And that exhaust note is simply intoxicating. Love it.

      @@uxsshann I’ve had mine a little over a year and I made the solid decision to keep mine; no matter what. What does that mean? It means that last week I was at a Porsche dealership with it and the salesman assumed I was using mine as a trade. I corrected him immediately and told him: “no sir, this guy is going nowhere; I’m adding a car to my garage and this guy (my M8) is staying with me. This is now my second BMW that I opted to keep; no matter what. Thankfully I have two rotating spaces in my garage that I can play with. I can say this without any concern of being wrong. If you manage to enjoy yours half as much as I’m enjoying mine, you will love owing yours. I recently had a buddy of mine visiting. This gentleman had driven a C8 Z06 that one of our friends has. He wanted to test drive mine and see what was all the hype about and he was blown away. He kept trying to find ways to explain how unexpected was the response he got compared to that of the Z06. The reason he was blown away is because it’s an all-wheel drive car that pull and pushes you from a still start in a vicious launch. I have, what in my case was a must, the Bowers & Wilkins system and my wife loves how everything sounds good in the car. Send me questions here and I will gladly give you my honest opinion. Warning - I have become extremely biased about my car and that’s a good thing for me. Makes it that much more enjoyable.

    This is a tough one for me, Miles. The BMW 8 Series Coupe can pass for a German Thunderbird, but as an M8 Comp Coupe, all that performance runs up the price where the real competition gives it a run for the money. I would option an 840i but anything you add gets you to a six-figure sticker price and the 8 Series Coupe is a huge vehicle for just two people. Anyway, everytime I see an 8 Series on the road I think about all the other cars available for the same money - can't help myself. Thanks for giving me something to ponder, Miles.

I would also say the Mercedes e63s is a pretty good competitor at this price point for the M8.

    Thanks Miles. I know, I'm late to the party.
    You mentioned that this model's suspension tended toward the stiff side. This is what has been reported up until the 2024 model year.
    Reviews of the 2024 M8 are now saying that the ride is quite supple in it's comfort setting. If that is true, then what has changed?
    There has been no announced updates by BMW to the M8 suspension from 2023 to 2024 model years.
    What is this saying then? It seems there may have been a glitch in the adaptive suspension logic that has now been corrected.
    This is a very complex system that is always adjusting to the the road conditions and the relative driver settings.
    It may be that the logic kept defaulting or locking up to a stiff setting even in comfort mode. There is no reason for the vehicle not to be at least supple in comfort, if not cushion smooth.
    Let me know what you find out. Maybe a test of the new 2024 M8 will shed some more light on these very few comments of it being supple in comfort for 2024.
    This is a huge deal for the M8. That hard stiff ride in comfort setting has thrown off many potential buyers.🤔

    BMW M8 Competition Cabriolet Hands Down!!!!! The Best Value For Money Proposition Currently. The Only Other Car that makes sense in this segment is the Ferrari Portofino M. The Bentley GTC & GT Speed W12 Fail, on account of their unwieldiness compared to the precise handling package of the Portofino M and the M8 Competition. The Mercedes Benz SL63 tries to hard to mimic the Porsche 911, and misses the point. The Maserati Gran Tourismo does not make the cut, given the fact that it is as fast as the M4 Competition, and not the Ferrari Portofino M and the M8 Competition Cabriolet. The Porsche 911 T is one car I would never look at on account of its configuration, because from a classical perspective, even though it has precise steering, and is surefooted, it still provides a tad too harsh and compromised a ride, compared to the front - engine cars referred to above, whereas the Ferrari Portofino M and the BMW M8 Competition Cabriolet, provide the perfect balance between Grand Touring and Supercar Performance, whilst the Bentley GT and GTC Speed W12 a Classic Luxury Grand Tourer.

    Any chance a review of the 2024 X5M competition is coming soon?

      Really hope the M8 gets a facelift with that new S68. The M version will make 1000+ hp on the stock turbos, insane.
      Already tested making 850+awhp with all stock hardware, no mods! Only a jb4 and higher octane fuel
      The M lite (M60i) has the same engine and turbos as the 760i, they are a bit smaller. Closer in size to the N63TU3 (think M50i cars) and still capable of 700+whp, but the engine itself is obviously better and stronger than an N63.
