    This is the BMW M8, but not only that it’s the competition, and not only THAT it’s also the Grand Coupe which means it’s the pinnacle of BMW’s flagship 8 series and expectations are high for this one
    And they should be high. This thing is approaching $150,000 and it’s the top of the heap in Munich which means the most performance, the most luxury, and the most excitement, so let’s see if that’s true
    We’ll start with performance and excitement. Under the skin this M8 Competition is packing the S63 4.4TT V8 form BMW’s M division. We recently drove this engine in the M5 and here it makes 617 hp and 535 lbft of torque. All that power goes through the brilliant shift logic of BMW’s tuned ZF 8 speed transmission as it makes its way to all 4 wheels
    And what it results in is 0-60 in under 3 and a half seconds..in a massive super luxury coupe…that was turned into a sedan
    You’ve got the S63 big powerful V8
    You’ve got the sharpest tuning of the ZF 8 speed AND you have 3 setting of shift ferocity
    You’ve got BMW’s special xDrive system that will uncouple the front wheels for skids and slides
    You’ve got M-LSDs
    You’ve got grippy tires, and you’ve got carbon fiber everywhere
    The steering and sharpnes you get from the front end is so precise
    The body and chassis composition you get under braking and cornering is so disciplined with these adaptive dampers
    And then the power calibration and gearbox tuning brings so much drama that you constantly WANT to push it harder and harder because it seems like the limit of the car just keeps getting higher and higher
    The whole car is designed to look low, long and sleek
    The Gran Coupe with it’s 2 additional doors get another 8cm from the 2 door 8 series
    Which is good becasue it means you can actually sit in the back
    But up front let’s talk about the look
    The front fascia is so aggressive and elegant i’ll venture to say its the best looking car BMW make currently
    The grille is sharp and proportionate to the long hood
    It’s a comp so all the accents are blacked out
    You’ve got a much more aggressive lower fascia with big vents for cooling the big V8
    You’ve got a cool front splitter
    Around the side you can see how long this car is and it looks so low and aerodynamic
    You’ve got 20 inch competition wheels which are excellent big comp brakes
    Not carbon ceramic
    Wrapped in XYZ
    And then you get this non-function accent gill behind the wheels that looks cool
    M wing mirrors and ten miles and miles of sculpted bodywork before you get to the rear ¾
    This is my favorite angle of the car
    It looks so sleek and modern and expensive
    You’ve got this excellent jagged lip spoiler
    You’ve got these gorgeous minimal taillights
    And then your lower fascia has this aggressive aero cuts in the bumper
    And then your big rear diffuser enshrouding your classic quad M exhaust
    But there are some things that don’t change like the exceptional build quality and materials
    You have exquisite leathers in here that wrap around your dash and of course your seats
    Your seats are heated and cooled and light up
    Dont think they massage
    You’ve got your M steering wheel which feels great and is heated and has the autonomous status lights for traffic jam assist etc
    It’s also got the M1 and M2 customizable driver profile buttons right there
    You’ve got a head up display which is huge and vivid
    You’ve got the fully digital cluster which looks great and is customizable
    And you’ve got a nice big infotainment screen
    It is running iDrive 7 so technically the older system but it’s not an issue for me at all
    You still get wireless car play,gesture controls, 360 and augmented reality cameras, and a drive recorder
    And you get really cool luxuries like a bowers and wilkins speaker system with lights inside the speakers that will come on and go off with the music
    You’ve got lighting in door cards that flashes red when your door is open to warn other drivers
    The only weird thing is that this car doesn’t have massage seats*
    It also doensn’t have a pano roof*
    In the rear seats though you actually have enough space for grown adults which is NOT something you can say for the 2 door version
    In the rear seats you also get amenities like heated seats, climate controls and vents, chargers
    HOWEVER, you do have an extension of the center console that results in an unusable middle seat
    And yet that middle seat gets a seatbelt
    From there teh trunk space is actually pretty good
    The opening isn’t huge but it is deep so fairly useable

    The 8 Series is peak BMW design, imo. I think the M8 is a bit over styled with the bigger front air intakes and the boomerang vent on the sides, but it makes sense for an M car. I think the M850i is perfect. And much cheaper!

    Coming form the 2022 M850i GC it was my fav car owned. Best on long drives and also best in ripping it through canyons and light to light. Everyone I gave ride to was shocked how fast it is coming from ppl who own the new corvettes, Porsche and M3 CS Gave the car back looking forward to upgrade to the M8 GC need that extra power and the M850i was lacking.

    Don't understand reviewers harping on apple carplay when android holds a better than 70% of the mobile phone market. In fact when I was shopping a couple years ago I wouldn't buy a Porche because they didn't' have android. I still won't look at them because of that. Plus, I would rather have the BMW.
