Wow. The car is released like just a few minutes ago and you guys are on it already,with a review up and running ! That’s how you do this. lovely car but I’d love to have the coupe with that same color & wheels & interior combo
Such a comprehensive review. Truly a privilege to have this channel. Thomas, out of the big three German manufactures which seat do you prefer? I like Mercedes for the non leather choices but I think the form and quality of the BMW seats are the best. Love to hear you thoughts.
Word! Thomas! that's how you do it. Its strange but the convertible looks better to me than the coupe which through automotive history it was the other way around :)))
Full HD, Full Screen and Full Length, let's go! I would also add Full Marks, Thomas! Great review of the new cabriolet. Like others, I think I prefer it to the coupé.even with the roof closed. The roofline is better I would suggest.
Exterior is beautiful, love the laser lights and front grille. Rear lights and exhaust profile nice too. Not sure about the new instrument cluster, to me it looks hard to read. compared to an analogue.
Quite crazy the lack of leg room behind the driver. A 6 foot driver, which isn’t exactly rare won’t be able to have anyone sit behind them in a car 4m80 in length. Except for small kids in a child seat. I think I’ve been driven in a convertible once, an old MX-5 but I can’t remember if the roof was down on that occasion. I’d like to try driving one at some point but I’d only really want to open it in countryside areas and not in town or on the motorway because of the fumes.
WOW!!! I thought the cabriolet was just a rumor. How in the world did you get your hands on one of these! Thank you for a great review Thomas! Btw... i bought my car (the bmw x1) without leather because of you :D
Great looking cabrio, great style wheels, cool interior but I'm not sure about that color .I think the cabrio should have been a little longer than the Coupe for more space in the rear.Still sleek and classy looking car .Great review Thomas, love your reviews !!
Sharp looking and the fun part is cruising with the top down! It was funny how you ducked down in the back seat while the top is going down; the 850i is not for you lol :))
Same as with the Coupé variant, I personally find this car lacks personality and glamour aside the fact that, yes, it is huge and impressive. The Bentley Continental GT or the Aston DBS do a much better job, as well as the ageing S-Class Coupé/Cabrio. Seeing it can't be really sporty unless they almost doubled the price with the massive use of carbonfiber and aluminium they should have toned down all the Manga creases and M deflectors that bad driving boulevard posers like so much on a car this big. Also I just noticed the steering wheel is very horizontal for comfort, almost like a minivan for the US! On a sportscar it should sit almost vertically.
The eight series is the love child of the Honda civic type R and the M6 coupe. Rear end is just over styled nonsense. Designed by computer software not Ian Callum. Why not just buy a Certified used M6 and save 60 percent on the price.
I seriously wonder why brands have their largest convertible B so unpractical regarding trunk space and passenger around the Mercedes S class Lexus LC BMW eight series are all giving similar passenger room compared to their compact cars I don’t understand the packaging.
So What no, it’s not , that’s your opinion. You have the perfect user name , every time you speak people say So and So said something , typical response, “So What”.
Wish BMW would concentrate more on the 'i3, i8' devision for development also for design. Although beautiful car the 8-series + this convertible it feels also 'old fashioned' design wise for me. It will drive very fine I guess but looks a bit as last of the mohicans. Around 2000kg!!!
Great looking! I wonder what Luxury Line would look like on the car, with all its chrome pieces! I also wonder what BMW Individual treatment would do to the car! But what's the point in having a 5+ metre 2-door convertible when you can't even fit a midget in the back seats? That's a waste of space! And it's true for both body styles of the new 8-Series!
In mercedes e class cabrio you have more capacity for 4 persons and is cheaper and looks better, Thomas why do you never say anything about roll bar and what is happening if you overturn the car I think if you have 1,95m life is over!
Yea I prefer the convertible over the coupe but the interior definitely should of been done better! Should of made it the new 6 series disappointing to be 8 series after all these yrs
If they produce a gran-coupe of this 8-series , they should move on and also get a 9-series super luxury coupe . The brand kind of needs it , when they believe the X-7 is sought after .
I noticed that it comes with one real exhaust pipes and the second one is actually fake. For the car of this standing it’s not acceptable. The glowing design makes it looks aggressively sporty. The interior design also is breathtaking and attractive. But my favorite car still a Lexus RC.
9:55 I pay 200.000€ for an BMWs most luxurious and sporty model and they put X5's picture on the dash because they were too lazy and just replaced it from one to the their next vehicle model. What a shame.
Oh no. They’re getting rid of the 6 series. I wish the rear of the conv. top was like the 6 series. They have the fin like ends on it. Farewell 6series😢.
I have the 4 series and this looks like it's twice its length and it still cant sit 4 people normally, unlike my 4 series. Either make a small sportscar or a proper GT. The fuck is this thing anyway? And how can they still not design a proper interior for their cars? That central console is just a mash of buttons with no design whatsoever.
150K for this is to mutch for me its Overpriced You can get a new Porsche for under 100K and also the girls like porsche cars more I think you can get more girls with a porsche here in germany than with a bmw cuz everyone drives a bmw Bmw and mercedes i see every day on the road but porsche very very rarely
THE LEGEND97 difference is if you want all the features that this car offers in say a 911 you’d end up paying around 150k any way. Porsche option are expensive and even on the 911 C2S you have to pay for heated seats and extend leather.
I'm not usually one to prefer the convertible over the coupe but for whatever reason, this works far better for me than the coupe.
Wow. The car is released like just a few minutes ago and you guys are on it already,with a review up and running ! That’s how you do this.
lovely car but I’d love to have the coupe with that same color & wheels & interior combo
Oh that’s a gorgeous car. Loving the videos guys, always the first to show these new cars. Much appreciate.
Bravo BMW! A trunk-rear seat pass through on a convertible is a sign of superb engineering. 👏🏾👏🏾
Now, how about a class correct V12?
Another great video from Thomas/Autogeful's in full HD.
I wonder if Autogefuhl has Thomas' clones cause he's everywhere! Congrats for always updating me with great videos! 👏👏👏
🤣
LIstening to THOMAS is my Meditation NO DOUBLT I feel more relax after watching Tom
👌
Thomas u r awesome bro so fast to review new cars 😍😍😍😍😍
👍😎
Tomas is really good
Very tasteful color. Like Barcelona Blue...So pleasent to see stylish alternatives 👌
Very good review! Even though this isn’t a huge deal, I wish BMW finished all the buttons in metal rather than plastic
Beautiful, i wish they kept the vertical back window and the buttresses, it sounds great however . I hope it’s available in Thomas blue!
😎
This design would fit perfectly for The new 2 series. The 8 series deserves a better design, something more stunning imo.
Such a comprehensive review. Truly a privilege to have this channel. Thomas, out of the big three German manufactures which seat do you prefer? I like Mercedes for the non leather choices but I think the form and quality of the BMW seats are the best. Love to hear you thoughts.
Cheers! Depends in the vehicle:)
Word! Thomas! that's how you do it. Its strange but the convertible looks better to me than the coupe which through automotive history it was the other way around :)))
😉
Clever marketing for the US. Pump it up yo - what used to be a 6 series - and charge more money money money:)
What's that colour??
What would you choose betwenn E400d cabriolet and the 8 cabriolet with diesel engine?
Full HD, Full Screen and Full Length, let's go! I would also add Full Marks, Thomas! Great review of the new cabriolet. Like others, I think I prefer it to the coupé.even with the roof closed. The roofline is better I would suggest.
👌
01:14 Why is it spitting all the gas unburned?! First time i see it in such extenct!
Just water! It stood a long time still in the studio. Normal condensating
@@autogefuehl Oh i see. Thanks.
awesome it was... 😃 waiting for its driving review to come soon..
I think we will miss the real glass window that was able to lower individually that was on the 650i cabrio. That was awesome.
Lerxstification wow you’re right I have the 6 one of my favorite features
is this Dravit Grey Metallic colour? Looks amazing
Yep
Exterior is beautiful, love the laser lights and front grille. Rear lights and exhaust profile nice too. Not sure about the new instrument cluster, to me it looks hard to read. compared to an analogue.
Breathtakingly beautiful 😍😍😍
How about golf bag and clubs?
Is the front grille closed as it appears?
Quite crazy the lack of leg room behind the driver. A 6 foot driver, which isn’t exactly rare won’t be able to have anyone sit behind them in a car 4m80 in length. Except for small kids in a child seat.
I think I’ve been driven in a convertible once, an old MX-5 but I can’t remember if the roof was down on that occasion. I’d like to try driving one at some point but I’d only really want to open it in countryside areas and not in town or on the motorway because of the fumes.
the 6/8 has always been strange like that. Its a 2 seater grand tourer.
WOW!!! I thought the cabriolet was just a rumor. How in the world did you get your hands on one of these! Thank you for a great review Thomas! Btw... i bought my car (the bmw x1) without leather because of you :D
In your Service :) cool awesome choice!
a real masterpiece,
Great looking cabrio, great style wheels, cool interior but I'm not sure about that color .I think the cabrio should have been a little longer than the Coupe for more space in the rear.Still sleek and classy looking car .Great review Thomas, love your reviews !!
Show us the gran coupe already.
Sharp looking and the fun part is cruising with the top down! It was funny how you ducked down in the back seat while the top is going down; the 850i is not for you lol :))
BMW and Porsche is the only German cars you should buy .. if you can afford them:)
Bester bmw Modell bis jetzt
So what's the difference from 6 series?
Stunning car, another home run by BMW!
I love this Convertible more than the S-Class version.
Where's the color in the video???
I dont really get the difference between the 6 Series and the 8 Series
Same
Same-Same, but different. But still the same
I like the outside but the dash is simply boring and uninteresting.
An excuse to charge more.
Always ahead . God job guys as usal great quality and content
The car looks sexy then the coupe
Cheers!
Neat car :-) still, the S class cabriolet is the king of this segment. The ultimate car money can buy.
Z4 video coming?
Yes embargo in a couple of days
@@autogefuehl Superb, I am literally waiting on your video before making a final decision between Z4 and the new 3 series :D
nice video:) please review the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio..i hear its a beast
This guy is great
😎🙏
I hope there’s an option for more aggressive rims
Alpha Tarawally rims are always an option??
Same as with the Coupé variant, I personally find this car lacks personality and glamour aside the fact that, yes, it is huge and impressive. The Bentley Continental GT or the Aston DBS do a much better job, as well as the ageing S-Class Coupé/Cabrio.

Also I just noticed the steering wheel is very horizontal for comfort, almost like a minivan for the US! On a sportscar it should sit almost vertically.
What the heck is coming out when the car is beeing reved in the beginning of the video? 😵 is the muffler full of water or something?
Just water - condensated after standing still, totally normal
Does this car comes with tyres too?
no, you only get runflats.....
What's the difference between 8 Series and 6 series
The eight series is the love child of the Honda civic type R and the M6 coupe. Rear end is just over styled nonsense. Designed by computer software not Ian Callum. Why not just buy a Certified used M6 and save 60 percent on the price.
I hope they make a hard top version.
I own run an XK convertible and Jag no longer make a GT car So this car is a possibility when come to change Great review thank you
thanks, feel free to recommend :)
i can order this car with electric drive too?
Interior is more for a 3/5 series not a 120k+ car
Derek L. I feel like this is more a competitor for the E class
@@sierrayankee6801 these are way more expensive than an E class, more like S class.
I seriously wonder why brands have their largest convertible B so unpractical regarding trunk space and passenger around the Mercedes S class Lexus LC BMW eight series are all giving similar passenger room compared to their compact cars I don’t understand the packaging.
So the M8 200k that’s a lot of money it better perform better than a M5 competition and noticeable to be worth almost 100k more
Looks good but not as good as s class cabriolet imo
And wait until Bentley does a convertible with the new GT.
Looks so much better than the s class convertable imo.
I'd say this is closer to Lexus competition if Lexus had a cabriolet. The Benz is on another class.
Exterior is up to personal taste but the materials alone on the interior are not even close to what's inside the S coupe.
So What no, it’s not , that’s your opinion. You have the perfect user name , every time you speak people say So and So said something , typical response, “So What”.
Wish BMW would concentrate more on the 'i3, i8' devision for development also for design. Although beautiful car the 8-series + this convertible it feels also 'old fashioned' design wise for me. It will drive very fine I guess but looks a bit as last of the mohicans. Around 2000kg!!!

Look like its built on a crysler sebring platform
What about 6 series cabriolet? Duplicate?
Love it...but not the price...
I wish the coupe had a sunroof or a glass roof like my 650i
In mercedes e class cabrio you have more capacity for 4 persons and is cheaper and looks better, Thomas why do you never say anything about roll bar and what is happening if you overturn the car I think if you have 1,95m life is over!
They pop put in the rear
@@autogefuehl yes I know
A paint job the color of mud? What was the design team thinking of?!
Sleek, streamlined, sexy. Cars not bad either.
역시 BMW
Would take this over the S class any day..
Yea I prefer the convertible over the coupe but the interior definitely should of been done better! Should of made it the new 6 series disappointing to be 8 series after all these yrs
If they produce a gran-coupe of this 8-series , they should move on and also get a 9-series super luxury coupe . The brand kind of needs it , when they believe the X-7 is sought after .

U sure its not just semi-shut by exhaust valve?
Those fake exhaust cutouts ruins it. Nothing best beautiful exposed exhaust tips.
9:55 I pay 200.000€ for an BMWs most luxurious and sporty model and they put X5's picture on the dash because they were too lazy and just replaced it from one to the their next vehicle model. What a shame.
Listen. Its preproduction and will be changed as i said
i love ur accent
the early 8 series where good lookers,, new ones, not so much
Fantastic but all colors for 8 until now not bright !
Oh no. They’re getting rid of the 6 series. I wish the rear of the conv. top was like the 6 series. They have the fin like ends on it. Farewell 6series😢.
Why has the BMW morphed into a Ford Mustang?
is this a sports car or a family car? none i think...
The s class looks more like real business, this is more sporty
I like BMW'S but they dropped the ball in terms of design. That's not a good thing when the 6 and 8 series are hardly distinguishable.
Yea this is better than the coupe but it doesn’t compare to the s class
Looks good but the collor is bad
I have the 4 series and this looks like it's twice its length and it still cant sit 4 people normally, unlike my 4 series. Either make a small sportscar or a proper GT. The fuck is this thing anyway? And how can they still not design a proper interior for their cars? That central console is just a mash of buttons with no design whatsoever.
I don’t know about this. It seems like the front doesn’t match the body of the car. The whole 8 series.
I do like this....but not so much the coupe. It is more like a 6 series than a 8 series. Should have took more design features from old!!!
This is fuckin madness. 😍😍
Nice review, one of the best reviewers on the net, great job....Yeshua (Jesus Christ) is the way
This car is just very expensive bucket.
It is a shame such a massive car and no space on rear. Kind of a waste? Emergency seats? Hmmm
Looks like a Jaguar. Not sure how I feel about this new design. Not that it's in my tax bracket.
What, this is Ian Callum here. I did not design this Ford Mustang civic type R.
Excellent BMW quality, but needs to be more sporty! It's an M!
a a it’s not an M yet
It's M-trim it's not an all out M
150K for this is to mutch for me its Overpriced
You can get a new Porsche for under 100K and also the girls like porsche cars more
I think you can get more girls with a porsche here in germany than with a bmw cuz everyone drives a bmw
Bmw and mercedes i see every day on the road but porsche very very rarely
THE LEGEND97 difference is if you want all the features that this car offers in say a 911 you’d end up paying around 150k any way. Porsche option are expensive and even on the 911 C2S you have to pay for heated seats and extend leather.
Totally agree.
Imagine buying a Porsche to attract materialistic girls
Pretty gay if you buy a car to get more girls.
Samjai Sam that’s so true my friend, and I have a BMW convertible
Nice car, but why buy BMW if you can get MB :D
dissapointment... not a real 4 seater, so why spend the space on 2 extra chairs?? better make a real roadster or go for an M4 convertible
This is why BMW and Mercedes will always be better than LEXUS!
Kinda looks like a S63 coupe cabriolet
BMW wants it to be S class cabrio competitor but it is e-class competitor. It is worse than e-class cabrio...
Wow talk about being hit with the ugly stick.
This looks like the failed bring back of the Ford Thunderbird very bloated looking,
Merk me pleAse
