Good point about the wheel size. When are manufacturers going to realize that American roads, especially in the Midwest, are crap and can’t deal with crazy low profile tires?
I love the new 840i and this is coming from a 15 gs350 fsport owner, and it's really reminding me of a newer German version(maybe cause mine is black too idk). All of the attributes are very similar and I feel like they both have that gran sport driving characteristic such as low roof line, big rims and wider tires that don't like potholes, and a lower seating height with more slanted rear seats. Main difference is I have the rear wheel drive which comes with the better 8speed auto which is Lexus smooth and shifts faster as you drive more enthusiastically, because the gs350 awd gets a 6 speed auto. It's sad to hear there may be no more gs after 2020 but with the actually GS F Lexus could easily make a new GS to compete with the 850i, AMG GT, Panamera, S7 etc.
I am not liking that new red virtual cockpit, door handles (not authentic anymore), and it's grille. The screen color is very distracting. I much prefer the gauges from 2014-2016. The original ones are the best though!
You can tell it’s a luxurious car for real he’s using his luxury voice to narrate this video
You don’t have to use your blinker when driving those btw
Panic Prey Not funny😑
Jayce LaBrecque it’s overused so it became boring
That BMW is clean ASF. Love the ambient lighting to.
The donut bit was amazing
That was fun 😄
I started driving in 1975. RWD with chains. Man how things have evolved
They might have made a brilliant car with the entire 8 series but customers will still buy the SUVs and not the luxury sedans 🤦🏻♂️
BMW’s B58 is so good you really don’t need the V8 even in the X7
The V8 is a much better driving partner for the X7. It's a really heavy car.

Love snowing videos
I LOVE the simple nav between the speed and rpm
Damn I wish you drove every single car this way. Best video you've ever done
Great vid
Those are some grippy tires.
Do* those four IR looking sensors on the dashboard serve any function? Like to see if you're dozing off?
Yep, they track your attention level in traffic. The flashing lights are only visible with a camera though
Did donuts last week and the streets still smoking!
Its fun to drift the streets not the parking lots
Hey Topher. Great video. Next time please do an in depth look on the laser headlights!
The 840i & 850 are so good I don’t see much point in spending more for the M8
The 840i is really really good. Still if you want that extra magic, the 850 can’t hurt anything but your wallet.
TheTopher Plus the 850 has the same engine as the M8 so just give it a tune & save a lot of cash
I concur. The average person will never see a track day and you'll spend way more $ to save a second or 2 from zero to 60
Never been this early..
. Love the content man keep it up 💪
I like dat vibe.

Nice video and great car!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Man that looks like a fun car to slide around.. Did you have TC off when you did donuts?
Everything was off!
You've got such a smooth and relaxing voice. You should work as a voice actor! Great content though 😁👍🏻
Hello
Can the 8 series out run a Sasquatch?
All the best Shaun of NYC
BMW is known for making drivers feel engaged when they're behind the wheel of their vehicles
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sometimes. That’s the case here, fortunately.
@@TheTopher I think a 100k price tag and 335hp is not a very wise decision. For under 100k, you can be driving an S7 with a way more powerful engine.
@@DMCarReviews sure. I guess it's a “rear-drive tax” by BMW

I think the gran c. has nicer lines than the coupe. It just flows better and you have a backseat you can actually use.
Good video man. Is it RWD??
No AWD
Am I the only one who noticed how loud the lock and unlock bees were from the outside?
How’s the reliability?
You should stop by my house and let me drive that thing... I see you’re in Michigan so why don’t you stop by Bloomfield Hills 😉 looks very nice
Will there be a review of the new G20 3 series?
classy
I've never been attracted to BMWs but this video was pure sex omg. I envy you!
You are sitting to far from the steering wheel.

This is just by my opinion, but bmw interior look a bit dull compared to his rivals, specially MB
