Steve Dinan, legendary BMW tuner and racer, is back with a new project from his new company CarBahn! The BMW M8 is already very fast, but with some of Steve's trademarked special tweaks, it becomes simply incredible. 880 Crank horsepower on 100 octane, or 825 horsepower on regular pump gas means that, with the AWD and revised suspension setup, this thing is a 9-second missile good for well over 200 mph! BUT THAT"S NOT ALL! He's revised the suspension, wheel and tire setup so it handles incredibly and the package isn't even all that expensive at under $25,000 for the whole shebang!

Which car should CarBahn modify next?
An audi wagon of sorts
Panamera or Cayman GTS
R8 👍

880hp daily driver? What a time to be alive. When I was in HS, a 500hp car was basically useless on the street. A buddy had a Cobalt SS Turbo with 400whp/475lb-ft and it was undrivable in traffic. My Mazda6S turbo was no better at only 300whp. I recently test drove a TRX and it had better road manners than an early Escalade. You'd never guess it had 702hp until you mashed it.
Buying a used car in the next 10 years is going to be an awesome time. Maintenance will suck, but the thrills will be excellent.
The Steve Dinan Ep of the podcast was excellent!
I left that episode feeling dumb LOL. Very informative and interesting episode for sure
@@AS-oo4gv I think we all felt dumb. Dinan dumped knowledge on the world for an hour straight, it was ridiculous. If he were inclined, the subject of that podcast could probably fill a couple engineering dissertations, earn a few degrees. But the guy just wants to make fast cars, not interested in pieces of paper.
Very impressive! Would love you to do 100-200 kmh tests in your videos.
Good to see you here. Unfortunately they don’t really do tests like that. They basically review the car with one thing in mind; Matt’s ego. He states his opinion like they’re absolute or that his impression is the correct impression. Zack OTOH, smarter and much less biased. Cheers
@@razerone49 AKA facts
@@razerone49 what you see is the young optimistic guy, and the grizzled vet who’s carved in Bugatti amongst other crazy platforms. I just don’t see it as his ego show. Pobst talks the same way. He’s even more cynical if it needs it.
@@razerone49 what is a review if not a biased interpretation of how much you enjoy something? If you want to just watch some clinical evaluation of performance, this isn't the channel for you. You'd be far better off just reading a spec sheet. Most enjoyable RUclips car videos are living vicariously through the perspective of the presenter and ego is obviously part of that. (Also they wouldn't do a video of 100-200kph tests on roads where the speed limit is around 100kph)
Funny that as big as the 8 series is, it's still 2-400 lbs LIGHTER than a Hellcat Challenger.
This comment wins!!
It's so freaking big in person!
Lightest M8 is only 78 pounds lighter than the hellcat however that is for the COMP. These numbers are from C&D so realistically with tire choice, wheel choice, whatever crap you keep in the car, they both weigh about the same. Except one costs $100,000 more than the other.
I know the m8 competition is built with a carbon core which assists in structural rigidity and also decreases weight. Not sure about the regular 8 classes. That might explain why they’re so light tho
@@macmurati and yet only one can actually make turns
That lizard at 6:46 had a real close call xD
Reminds me of Rango lmao
Lmfaoo dude was like aaaaahhhhhh
When you caught the prius it was like the Milennium Falcon coming out of hyperspace.
Title: “9 second car!”
Video: “Not a 9 second car!”
still so fuckin cool tho
Similar tuned M8s are around 9.86 and I assume this one is in that ballpark.
Matt calls anything near 9 seconds a 9 second car because of Tesla. Matt hates Tesla hard.
Seriously impressive car. I happened to sit next to Steve on a cross country flight about 10 years ago. To this day, EASILY the most interesting airplane conversation I’ve ever had.
I had a similar experience on my way back from a Grand Am race. It was Chicago to SJC. Super nice guy. Invited me to the Dinan shop to try out some cars.
Steve’s shop here in San Jose is great! He’s always done the tuning and maintenance on all my M3’s, including my current E92, and set up my son’s Mk7.5 GTI for autocrossing. So glad they’re close by!
GTI is not good for autocross lol
@@dragospahontu great call, random internet guy. I’m positive his son will stop using the GTI for auto cross now thanks to you.
@@SixSpeedSeven you really need something that's rwd for good handling
@@dragospahontu Not necessarily, fwd (GTi, FiestaST, FocusST, are very good examples.) is great for those tight corners on autocross.
@@flush_entity they can never be as good as rear wheel drive cars, it's a fact not an opinion.
The GTI is a good all rounder, definitely not an autocross beast even with modifications.
The little TST Podcast insert was a brilliant idea.. If i had the money to buy and play with BMWs you best believe Steve Dinan would be my first port of call..
I'm looking at buying an M6 Comp right now... I was gonna go Dinan but now I'll prob go with his new company. He's such a legend!
@@photilal1960 I see it as going to a restaurant run by Gordon Ramsay, vs going to one he used to run and sold to his head chef.. Is it still going to be an amazing experience? Yeah, sure.. But it's just not Gordon..
@@Wirenfeldt1990 Nah that brand ruins everything it touches, Shark injector tunes got rewritten with absolute garbage, Turner silicone hoses don't even fit on the throttle body etc. ECSTuning/Turner/Dinan is crap now.
Love the Two Takes! Started listening to the podcasts recently, you guys have a great rapport and are great entertainment. Podcast livechat is the shit too! Talked me into driving a 1LE SS and I'm HYPED to order one.
The 1le is an amazing car. I owned a 2018 for 2 years and did many autocrosses and trackdays in it. You thinking of to getting manual or 10 speed?
Zach’s analogies are rapper level good, some of his jokes and play on words are so accurate out of left field.
Been watching TST for 7+ years and they’re my all time favorite duo
Thanks for the support!
@@BorisBidjanSaberi11 Got bars about cars, cruisin near or driving far.
@@TheSmokingTire One of my favorite quotes CLS63 AMG 5.5L "Welcome to this weeks ballistic missile test" 😂
When I was a kid way back in 91-92 My mom's subscribed me for Road & track magazine for 3years...then I discovered and heard about the american tuners like Saleen-Dinan & Ruf...such a great memories...and today for first time in my life I got to see Steve Dinan through your Video wow such a legend...I still remember those exhaust tip with the Dinan Logo...Yes big fan here from Madagascar!!!
Thx 4 sharing!
... RUF isn't American. Or a tuner, technically.
Ruf is German...technically a manufacturer
@@ElliWoelfin i know im just saying that Ive seen those magazine with all the modified cars back in the day, Roush, Saleen, Stilen etc...many more
It’s so interesting to me how all the German car companies-and pretty much every other car company-is all in on EVs yet they still keep cranking out monsters like this. What is the average car nerd like me to make of these mixed messages?
The internal combustion engine has plenty of life left.
Brodey Dover Define “plenty”.
Gandalf721 hope you’re right because EVs are boring as hell to drive. Story after story that I read however seems to indicate the coming demise of the ICE.
Q: What is the average car nerd like me to make of these mixed messages? A: simple, the rumors of "ICE demise" has been greatly exaggerated. good or bad, the battery fires from the Bolt, Hyundai (and yes Tesla) have now set back EV adoption by at least 5 years. ALL HAIL OUR FORTHCOMING ICE OVERLORD THE CORVETTE ZO6...!!! (10/26/21)

More CarBahn Autoworks, please. I would love to see an Audi R8.
What an absolute wild time for cars. 800+hp is just routinely accessible now. That was NASCAR Cup Series horsepower 20 years ago, and they might live 500 miles. Now they give you a warranty and emissions certifications.
That wheels/tyre combination looks great.
I learned with 650whp.. in a Mustang that too stiff is not the way to go I was running 305 square it was way too wide on the street in the front and it did skip with the shocks stiff when I soften them up it was still way too stiff.. stiff isn't better for driving on a public road it took me years to figure that out but when I did......
imagine leaving the house without an access port
Dinan = Legend
👍
The m8 is the bmw that should be their super car. It's my favorite looking bmw thats out
Their supercar should be mid engine, just like the M1 from decades ago.
This is "just" a GT, an intercontinental Autobahn bullet.
@@jareknowak8712 M1 was supposed to be a Lambo but they were down on money.
they should have thrown the s85 V10 in the i8 body and called it the new M1
@@papa_pt S85 is a TERRIBLE engine. I'm sure there's something else they could've used though.
@@jalenad11 nah it's one of the greatest street motors. People usually treated it like garbage, no warm ups when it's clearly an exotic motor with very tight clearances.. I drove one ten years ago and never forgot. F1 tech comes at a cost . Rod bearings (which I assume ur referencing) cost 2k incl labor
When the stock M8 Competition actually has the rated crank hp as a real-life whp number, 825 crank hp isn’t that much of an increase.It’s more like a 100hp increase than comparing the 882 100 octane number to the factory rating.
In any case, it’s an amazing platform and a great package from Dinan (CarBahn).
If only the American highway speed limit was 150 mph, this would be my first choice of a GT car. It can actually carry something and plenty of luggage for two people. Unfortunately those kind of experiences are unknown to 98% of the American public these days. A true GT cars the way to go. I never will fly commercial airlines again.
I’d love to do a cross country speed run in this thing. Not a huge fan of the looks but I’d love to open her up on a nice long country freeway!
3:34 | New Ducati Monster one take inbound?!
Yep!
5:13 you KNOW it's good when they BOTH instantly start laughing 😂😂
Congrats on 1M y'all well deserved
Don’t forget Dinan started as just a BMW tuner and his product was so refined that it became stuff you can get from the dealer with a warranty. I had a dinan e36 328 with a super charger for a few months back in the early 2000s ended up selling it to a customer who still has it because we do maintenance and repairs on it. Most of the stuff we have done to it over the past almost 20 years has just been wear items, bushings, pads n rotors etc. the only thing I can think of that can possibly be blamed on the power is the Guibo. Any BMW owner that’s had a few knows what it is, a rubber disc for driveline smoothness between the transmission output and the drive shaft. We ended up making an aluminum one with steel collars pressed into the bolt holes. It’s lasted over 10 years thankfully it hasn’t destroyed the drive shaft like we thought could happen. Just saying they make very well engineered products that don’t destroy the car. It has 250k+ on it last time it was in. I believe it will require a new or rebuilt engine by 300k. I’m guessing it has lost a little compression so it’s pretty old with a lot of miles but still running strong.
you could get a warranty backed supercharger on 328?
BMW has too many plastic parts in the engine and their dealer techs are like jackasses with blinders on until your car is out of warranty
Does the “M” stand for Mustang? Because it looks like a Mustang.
That Steve Dinan podcast was ridiculously good, he’s such a smart guy!
Steve Dinan is so freaking cool!
By its profile in the thumbnail, it looks almost exactly like a new Mustang.
100%
I dnt see it
The GT350 and a m3 e92 have a lot in common...I'm sure Ford and BMW both know what's going on..👍
@@mg_streetkandi what you doing here fam haha
The lack of Hoffmeister kink is really showing
Coming from the E39 community, Dinan mods/philosophy was always “street-friendly/OEM+” which works for the street. My E39 M5 with Dinan sway/camber/springs made a 4000lb car feel… 3700lb lol. Sounds like he’s doing similar things with Carbahn.
As someone with a Dinan S2 E39 M5, I can't believe how much of a difference the mods make when you're pushing the car while still feeling like a friendly daily driver the rest of the time. My only complaint (and it's a small one) is the new LSD they installed. It delivers more torque to the road, but I do have to shift a lot more often at low speeds.
I'd love to get a new M car and have carbahn go to town on it.
@@printertoner The stock diff has great gearing for the S62. But "shifting more" is a blessing in the world of tall gearing manuals. I have a 981S and second gear tops out in the 80's. I wish I could shift more. Meanwhile, the E46M and E39M are really nicely geared for the street.
The smiles you guys had and the laughing when Zach punched it😂😂 so happy I love it
who else saw that poor lizard at 6:47?
Poor dude😭
He was like "oohfuckk!!"
@@FriedrichBienmann fr 😂😂😂
Such a great car! Think I can get one in a couple years for under $50k? ;)
My plans exactly.
no more v8s the price will stay same
CarWhoaBahnGa!
"At these speeds I am not fucking around with grip." Hell yes I feel that lol
Matt and Zack giggling like a couple of dirty-minded schoolboys as soon as they floor it: 😆😆 Love it! 💯
After driving a 2017 M6, i can only imagine the monster this M8 is.
Actually the driving experience should be very similar, simply because the engine is the same S63 4,4 litre V8 unit and the weight of both cars is around the same.
The M8 is faster, because it's 4WD , while the M6 was RWD, hence it can launch itself a bit faster than its predecessor.
But at the end of the day, 0-60 times aren't the most important thing on the world, and that's why I would prefer a manual F12 M6 over a brand new M8, even though it will be faster to 60 MPH with a whole second or so.
@@lililiil244 it’s not the same engine lol
Really well timed beauty shot when you came up on the Prius 😂😂
15:26 they driving blind with those blacked out glasses
Bushings prevent dive under braking? Hmmm ... I could see spring rates helping but would think f/r brake balance but what do I know lol
Fucking Prius. 😂
Anyone know if carbahn actually holds up to their warranty
This is an amazing machine. Stunning to look at and drive and you can take the whole family or a bunch of friends. OR perhaps the Swedish Bikini Team?
What does Car Bahn have in store for Zack's E46?
Control arms, sway bars, front springs, install/tuning my KW Club Sports, and some Steve magic.
@@TheSmokingTire Congrats! The Steve Dinan hookup has got to be up there for job perks.
This was a great video. Thing is such a beast.
Listening to the podcast then watching this vid completes the package. Very cool. New respect for Steve Dinan.
🔥🔥🔥
Just bought M8 Comp Gran Coupe. Can someone tell me the tire size and offset, would like something similar.
Love those canyon roads and damn those views!
Love Steve dinan podcasts. Always learn shit
Why are they so slow because of the weight....With 882 hp should be way faster?!! I feel like if the was a European spec it would be a lot faster.. almost Porsche like fast lol
CarBahn M8 "you could really send this off a cliff" - Matt Farah 🤣
This thing is gorgeous as it is big! In fact, it’s huge!
Thanks God, I will buy one for myself
if carbahn is anything like the former dinan, itll be overpriced, over rated and mediocre equipment not worth the money. so hopefully its stepped up.
Is the M8, and 8 series in general really, not a big seller for BMW? I see tons of 2,3,4, and 6 series, around where I live, but I have never seen an 8.
it costs nearly double what a 2,3, or 4 series cost. it also replaced the 6 series, so you are just seeing older models in reality
The impala was a terrible American failure. Why are new European designs getting bigger and bulkier?
Absolutely gorgeous
It’s the giggle on initial launch that got me haha
911 Turbo s in that category. Its simply the best .
Sweet car, terrible color. I really wish this "fancy primer" (AKA non-metallic gray) paint fad would go away.
Absolute missile
7:46 - I hope you guys know that ceramic brakes aren't always the best for the road. They reduce brake fade by being able to soak up higher amounts of heat - so you can use the brakes for longer, but I'm not quite sure they posses any advantage in actual stopping power. Just able to endure a lot more of the same thing before they require a break. In fact, I've heard that ceramics can be bad for the road because if you're not actively using the breaks and maintaining a good operating temperature then they will actually have less stopping power than steel brakes which are able to work better at lower temps.
Steels will always stop you when you suddenly require them. Ceramics may not give you the braking force you need if you're suddenly required to use them and you haven't got them up to temp yet.
Currently owning a M8 and having owned a M340i (the M8 having Ceramics and M340i steel) the M8 stops way better than the M340i even after not using the brakes for a while. And the Ceramics most definitely are better than steel brakes as far as stopping power goes.
It's got a real muscle car look to it!!
I really like your sunglasses but I doubt I can afford them
Could you imagine this with a 6 speed?
Garbage 30fps = unwatchable.
Man, that car show sure makes (insert local speed limit) look fast! 🔥
What brand is that those sunglasses ya wearing?
Thought the thumbnail was a mustang 😑👍
Who likes the looks of these bmw yachts regardless of HP?
You get no sense of the performance watching the video
I saw it every video but I love the chemistry between y’all
Full suspension as opposed to what?
What color is this car? Is that a stock BMW color?
M1 does not actıvate sport plus 2 thats a error my guy..
Good to see you're both reviewing tuner cars...
Love Steve Dinan. Such an amazing nerd.
Why does U tube edit out valid context in our posts ??
Hi-th?!!🤦♂️🤦♂️ heighT lighT mighT!! 😡
Are these guys wearing Dillon sunglasses?
Plan on adding the Carbahn GT package in early Jan-( '19 M5)--lucky a authorized dealer is only 100 miles away--now need more driving school sessions, many! will let you guys know how it goes in 2 months (if still alive)- wife is taking out 5 mil in new life insurance
Steve Dinan...? sounds like i need to start listening to the Podcast. names like Schnitzer, Racing Dynamics, and DINAN were what turned me on to BMW's 30+ years ago.
Thumbnail looks like a Mustang
Rocars, please do this car justice and find a tuner to make this car's looks match its performance and upload it on your channel. Thank you. Oh wait, you already did that with the Akrapovic BMW M8 Grande Coupe! My bad. Keep it moving, folks. Nothing new to see here😒
I wonder what it would make on E85
am I the only one annoyed with how people say "heighth"?
M8 Gran Coupe > actual coupe. 4dr FTW. This package one one of them would be the ultimate Q ship. Till you run into a Plaid..
Sorry, but this car doesn't have "Cup 2 R" tires!
Just read the letters at the tire sidewall! This is a totally "normal" stock Cup 2 tire.
Nissan GTR technology in 2009 really transformed the industry. It took forever tho!
Correct me if I'm wrong, you did a review on a heavily tuned 850i and slammed it as saying just get an m8.. in the world of ridic teslas and Porsches, does this type of car make any sense anymore? Not scoffing it so much as trying to understand the advantage other than being able to refill it and maybe exhaust (unsure if you can even hear it from the inside and how manufactured the sound is)
6:47 Lizard almost got road kill
Keep up the good work guys, really enjoy the points being brought up and the editing!
Did the website and app you recommended. The app got different results then the website and the filters know absolutely nothing about cars.
I hate bmw's but that one is nasty wow
And void your warranty lol
