@@SamueleDiRusciowhy does it keep it in comfort and efficient mode when launch control is active? Thought it would default to the most aggressive settings whilst active.
I tried in all settings and that was the best launch I could get out of it. When the car is too stiff the shift super aggressive it doesn’t help in the wet. That being said there was very little difference in all settings. In the dry it would have been different.
@@mauricetoussaint7283why would anyone do that the m3 is faster and far better looking. U obviously have never seen a m3 with an adro kit and grille,CSL grille, or Vorstiener grille. I don't like wagons but I've seen some epic aftermarket kits with lowered suspension for the m3 touring. I think the new frozen colors from BMW look the best especially frozen black or white Not to mention its interior is on another level the carbon fiber bucket seats and overall design looks more expensive then audi for this gen of BMWs. Theres a reason it cost more
1 of The Best (and Honest/Prolike) Drag ever seen since a long Time. Thx 2 all @ CW 4 the Excellent and ALWAYS Entertaining Videos ....I tip my 👒 2 U Guy's Never Stop doing that 🤝🏼👍🏾
Watching the first half of the video reminded me of playing video games with my little cousin. He always got the "better" stuff but in the end he lost due to lack of skill and had always some excuses 😂 Love your vids and to see how much fun you have!
First of all, Sam Mat becoming the best duo in car wow Switching sides was spot on. Imagine how many race results would be different if they tried that in every race Dry race would be different I'm sure And Mat you did jump the start
M8 Convertible is really meant to a weekend blast in my opinion. M8 coupe and gran coupe for actual racing considering they are faster than the M5 and have better launch control compared to the M5.
It seemed that when Sam was in manual mode for shifting with the paddles, he was able to let it rev out just a little higher before each gear change. I’ve noticed this with my car: when it’s in auto gear-changing mode, it changes gears at 7000 rpm vs when I’m using my paddle-shifters, I am able to rev out my engine to 7500 rpm, gaining just a little more power before I’m forced to change gears. Horrible for your mounts and your transmission though if you do it too much. Make sure to check your oil levels as well.
@@jkliao6486 so 4wheel burn out? The very definition of XDrive means it should b able to handle that torque even in the snow. Besides, isn't it the same XDrive and gearbox in the M3 Touring?
My wife has the M8 Comp convertible.. (almost took it in that color too, instead went full black with white interior.)... not only will it win the sound test with an akrapovic exhaust system like she has, but no way in hell, that any other bmw will keep up in dry. M8 is a total beast... it's an end all. As close to a supercar as you get without being one.
Yah cause the RS6 known for having same time over the quarter mile, plus that specific RS6 wasn't making enough boost on the launch unlike the one Matt reviewed 2years ago (his own green RS6)@@MI-qx4lc
Sam was on another level in this video... Awesome. First, in the drag races he just didnt want to give up and kept throwing hail marys to get one more go... and when it worked when they switched sides, it was amazing. And then in the brake test, the hands... lolol. Awesom Sam. Be like this every time.
Great video. From a fanboy. Next please do a race Of the M3 CS vs the M5 comp. And a GT drag race of the Aston DB12, M8 comp, Bentley continental GTC and may be a Mercedes AMG GT❤🎉
I will forever be indebted to you you've changed my whole life continue to preach about your name for the world to hear you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment, thanks so much Mrs Karen Warner.
l also invest with Mrs Karen Warner, she charges a 20% commission on the profit made after each trading session, which is fair compared to the effort she put in to make huge profits.
My first investment in Mrs Karen Warner gave me the confidence that led me to invest without fear of loss. I have already taken 3 of my friends to their guide and they are fine.
She is really great at what she does with amazing skills, she changed my 0.1BTC to 2.1BTC within two weeks of trading, I am now fully confident that she is reliable.
Yeah you even said later in the video, you've set off anticpating the hands falling down, that's not allowed in motorsports. Use a torch instead. It's totally fair then.
@@gripshaft Nope thats a rolling race, I meant a rolling start drag race. It is similar but usually they roll at around 10 or 15kmph to the start line then floor it
Have you noticed their's good banter between Sam and Mat? Makes watching these drag races entertaining. Mat and Yianni have good chemistry but so do Sam and Mat. That M8 really does the business, It's good how Sam get's out of that situation and his facial expressions are funny! 😅😅
The m3 is so loud in the cabin compared to the m8. Listen to the vibration when Matt is talking before the race. Is that thing stock? The m8 is an absolute full package. The m3 is an amazing vehicle for sure, and I’m in love with the S58, but if you want power without sacrificing any luxury you have to go with the m8.
Am I the only one that noticed the moisture inside the headlights of the M8 Convertible? I've noticed on the newest 7 series as well, which is quite odd.

Switching sides was spot on. Imagine how many race results would be different if they tried that in every race
Dry race would be different I'm sure
And

No way. Yianni is more entertaining
Pretty one of the best drag races I've ever watched, breathe taking!
I still can't help but wonder how much better the coupe would do in the rain 😂
such nice guys this two!!! competitive, honest and funny
Interesting how much of a price difference exists between such similar overall performance. The M3 is the sweet spot in expenditure for sure.
M8 Convertible is really meant to a weekend blast in my opinion. M8 coupe and gran coupe for actual racing considering they are faster than the M5 and have better launch control compared to the M5.
It’s harder to put the power down in the m8 . The m8 needs a driver mod
It's literally raining, what do you want it to do?@@Slime_threezus
They depreciate so quickly, you just need to wait a bit and build up repair money in the meantime.

@@tajpauko2184 on paper... with coupe M8, they both do 3 seconds flat. Would be interesting to see though. Let's comment to make it happen ;)
