- MotoMan heads to the BMW Experience Center in South Carolina to drive the 617 HP BMW M8 Competition Coupe. He learns that much of the balance from BMW M850i coupe remains in this large BMW however, in the process of driving the far more technical of the two BMW Performance Center circuits, the BMW M8 Coupe may be too much . . .

![BMW M8 Competition - Powerful, Fast and Brilliant to Drive ! [incl 0-60-0 Test !]](/img/1.gif)
It definitely needs bright colors & interiors. Imola Red over Caramel or Ametrin over Champagne would look great on the new M8, especially with the bright work.
I agree regarding the M850i, BMW's line of x50 cars has gotten so good, it makes you wonder whether a full fat M variant worth the extra 40-50k or not.
As always excellent work, M.
Awesome car and awesome review
Was the M8 noticeably stiffer than the M850i? I loved the comfort of the M850i and don’t want the M8 if it’s much stiffer. However, love the 4 tail pipes and the 3 second 0-60?
Well at least he mentioned people need training for there cars... wouldn't be surprised if they made a class on your licences... too many people dont know how to fast cars,
Hey Motoman. What's the name of the song at 2:22? I know you have the credits, but those artists have a lot of music. Thanks in advance.
MotomanTV: Does your opinion change on this car when you factor in a nearly $30,000 discount on the M8C's hood? I just did this on the exact car you reviewed. I cannot wait to take advantage of the M-Driver's school as this car actually scares me a bit. It launches like it is being shot off an aircraft carrier! This is my fourth M car and it is amazing.
0:26 Gosh, that's a neat cockpit. The seat colors really help too.
yeah white seat.. if you willing to paid extra you can change plastic dash to leather as well....
@@campkira plastic on a 140k vehicle lolol
A solid 5 mpg!!!
I’d probably go with the M850i or perhaps even the 840i with its wonderful I6 engine. Just wish you kinda could delete the limiter on M850i or it being an “M Performance” car, just raise it a little more, cuz with that much power it tops out 160MPH way too quickly.
Why all these options on a car that is considered to be a flagship?
Previous 8 series was packed. Guess marketing changed
I bet the M8, which is a fat and heavy GT, will be faster around track than the Audi R8, which is a true super car from the ground up. What BMW does is really out of this world engineering.. Damn.
No no no my good man
@@esthetics4512 I was correct. The M8 makes faster laps and is faster on straights as well.
Great review - you know really what you are doing - driving and tech. Its always good to hear your opinion. The M8 Competition is the last hurrah of the old world cars - dinosaurs - it got too big and too heavy to my taste. Must be a blast for long distances though.
Thank you, sir!
This beast still doesn't have timeless style and fluid design like a 633CSI.
Or e31
I feel like for 160k you can do better
Yes - A 2020 Carrera 4S.
You can also buy one hell of an airplane for that same money:)
bmw they don't care anymore... they see it as line up they need to fill.... it mainly for profit it pretty much a sclass coupe amg... heavy and all it can do s long gt ride whch why would you do it in that engine? burn fuel like no tomorrow.
Yes, a i8 Roadster...
campkira
The M8 is about 1,400lb lighter than a S class coupe.. and unlike the S class it can go fast in the straight and the track at the same time. BMW says it’s faster than a M4 GTS on the Nurburgring, which means it’s faster than a lot of Supercars now even on the track
To me this 8 Series Coupe fails on all the most important points that made the original E31 such an amazing car and a classic.
They say it's in the luxury segment but it's nowhere near the luxury and refinement of the S Class Coupe / AMG S 65 Coupe and the 8 is noticeable smaller in size. The interior on the 8 Coupe is a joke compared to the S-Coupe interior.
And the original E31 8 Series was known for it's V12 and no B pillar and this F9 8 Coupe doesn't have a V12 option at all and it has a friggin B pillar. The 8 Coupe doesn't even have a sunroof option.
And the original 8 Coupe had almost a supercar look to it and this looks nice but nowhere near like a supercar but much more like a 4 series.
I think this should have competed against an R8 in looks and performance or really gone against the S-Coupe in beauty and luxury but it's so far away from both it hurts.
To me the S65 Coupe is the true successor to the E31 850Csi.
Competition badge on nearly every models smh...
It's best new super coupe in a long time. If it's too much you're too old.
I think the M Drivers package is a track day / school, maybe a top speed software update. Delete you covered it Moto-man, next time I’ll finish watching to the end.
I’d rather the M2 Competition, I’ll save myself nearly 100k and have more fun. M8 is a beauty though.
yup - m8 is too porky
More fun is subjective, but the M8 will smoke the M2 in any race
tunis5000 don’t listen to me. I’m biased cuz I’ve been in the M2C for about 6 months now.
that V8 tho
Sedan M5 base and add JB4. Save 60k
Why are they using torque converter instead of double clutch? I assume the same reason why the timing components are on the back side - to bankrupt a fool who buys it after the warranty expires
Yep its a porker. I mean that in the nicest way possible. BMW has almost done the impossible and turned a tank into a clone of the OG M2. Not really. 4200 pounds is still 4200 pounds and then BMW is also trying make it luxurious at the same time. I see what they are doing here. They fail at making it a serious track car but hope you enjoy the luxury and forget the sporting pretense. I suppose it is a strategy but I’m not falling for it. Having said that, its still an awesome car.
Looks like a Mustang GT. The roof line, doors, rear quarter windows, rear haunches, etc.
Agreed
Not a bad thing
Enough with the front engine cars Bmw...time for mid engine supercar...
You are right - there is a kinda mid engine superlookingcar from BMW on the market though. Don´t expect a new M1 anymore - the next supercar will be electric, like everybody.
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 i was expecting the M8 to be the supercar but was disappointed. BMW don't build supercars. The only thing close to "supercar" was Z8 and the i8 but they weren't. The CEO admits they are not in the business of making supercars... i am still hoping they do.
This is quick enough to compare to most supercars
Second
M8 GC looks better than the Coupe to me. But if it's my money, I'd do M850i GC. This is too heavy for tracks and too much power for highway.
Great example of diminishing returns. There's just not enough special about this car.
i’d get an m5 over the m8
First
Give me a Porsche 911 or even an Aston Martin Vantage maybe... just cant see myself buying a BMW that’s over 100k.
porsches make me fall asleep tho def engineered like no other and can do amazing stuff with only 6 cylinders but no porsche excites me at all
Lexus lc 500 for me I'll save the 50 grand.
Funny you mention it . . . Driving one now!
Nearly new M5 Competition for me and get the vastly superior car for a bargain price.
@@stubones ohhhh we going sedans now, I'll take the rs7 or s8. Yours is a great choice.
@@MotoManTV which is better including the price would you pay the extra money for the BMW for extra performance.
Kyotonoji records yes, nice car and can be bought cheap used
