same drivetrain as the M5 for $70k more, nice! Smaller back seats than the 4 series but 600lbs heavier, nice! Interior the same design as all other BMW's, especially the new 3 series.....nice! they should have called this the 6 series (cause it is) and come out with a real flagship

Matt, watching you push these cars on real roads is such a pleasure and extremely informative. Your sharp insight and commentary is the icing on the cake. Thank you! Bravo! More!
Anyone who pays 120k or more for a BMW is a lunatic. M8 should've been M6 money, not Aston Martin money. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the look of this thing, inside and out. Performance is staggering and so is its capability. But when someone is looking for a 120k+ GT car, first cars that pop in their mind are Bentley, Aston Martin and Porsche, not BMW.
Marcel Lukačić It’s a halo car. If Lexus (a brand created by the Toyota marketing department) can make a car costing double that, then a historical brand like BMW can price a car 175k.
I'm a lifelong BMW fan however the last couple of yrs their vehicles have been unispired especially the interiors..i mean look at what Merc and Audi are doing
Jerome M Muriuki yes, Merc is putting huge screens everywhere like Tesla which doesn't really scream luxury to me. Look up the spyshots of the new S-class, for example
The 8 Series has the best BMW interior to date. It's top notch in terms of design and quality and it looks far more special than the touch-screen overload stuff that Audi is doing (that's still nice tho). I know it's too expensive and all that, but wait a few years when depreciation does its thing and then you'll have a great all-round, beautiful GT car for a price of a heavily-specced M340i. The 8 Series is a great car, especially the Gran Coupe version, it's just the ridiculously high price that lets it down.
I have never loved the last little bit of a video so much. Loved seeing that old 308 get pushed hard and actually driven! It probably weighed as much as the BMW cause the size of the drivers balls.
Jordan Cabral having seen both in person, I think the GC looks better. And before seeing it in person I was firmly of the belief the coupe was better. All of the 8 series, more than other cars, look so different in photographs from how they do in person. IMO
I loved my Dinan S3 E36 and E46 M3's. Never once had any issues with any products or software. His suspensions were worth every penny. Can't wait for the CarBahn suspension for the G87 M2.
Damn the ZF auto has come to a point that its so fast and crispy, you won’t be sad if you got it instead of a dual clutch. Tuning by the manufacturer still counts ofcourse
For high performance cars we really should start using 0-100mph times instead of 0-60. So many of the ultrafast cars are so close when it comes to 0-60 that numbers have kind of become meaningless(which I guess performance numbers are anyways, but still.)
And, speaking as an attorney, quite misleading, aside from the basic premise that you shouldn't just pay off your tickets without hiring an attorney or going to court yourself (Which is something I expect anyone over 25 that's a sports car enthusiast already knows). Anyone who pays off anything (And admits guilt by doing so) only makes that mistake once, after going through years of high auto insurance premiums that result from becoming a riskier insured from your insurance company's perspective and being billed accordingly. No need for a lawyer referral service, which is all the sponsor is. The best traffic attorneys don't need to resort to paying for leads, they already have reputations that are well deserved. And you won't be getting their services, just paying similar money for a less capable and experienced lawyer. As with all "Middle men," it's best to cut them out of the process, and do your own research using Avvo or other sources. Ask the people in local sports car clubs, dealers, or repair shops. After all, nobody knows the best traffic lawyers better than the people getting more than their share of traffic violations. 🤣
The Porsche is actually .08 slower than the M8 and has a TON LESS FEATURES and weighs less, and has older tech, and isn't as intuitive. So you wanna pay more for *LESS* correct?
When you buy a new and expensive car, you don’t think about resale man . If you are worried or scared about depreciation , just buy a Toyota Yaris man.
@@GODOFGUITAR2112 Most people who complain about repairs are those who are too lazy and pathetic to do proper maintenance every month. If you own a great car, you must take great care of it, otherwise it will break down. *Because you were too lazy to care*
@@davidlegkodukh6969 Lot of generalisation you're doing there chief. I agree to an extent - with older cars, sure, laziness in general maintenance will render it unreliable. But your point simply doesn't apply to a brand new car like this. Short of putting oil in it and changing the tyres, how much do you think you can really do? The engine/drivetrain in a car like this is pretty bulletproof. The problem is electrics, as with every modern car. This 'maintenance' you're talking about with a car like this involves taking it to a BMW dealer and having them plug their diagnostic shit into it before pointing out everything they're going to fuck you on. If you have your own BMW specific diagnostic tools, great - but your wrenches and screwdrivers aren't going to do shit to keep this fucker affordable to maintain. It's just the reality of it. If you think you can get into this thing and do the same kind of running repairs you can on a 30 year old car without sending the EMS into a shitfit and rendering the car undriveable, PLEASE video it. I'd like to see it.
Veroniciany Veronica Haha! I literally just ordered a Yaris, a GR-4. I wouldn’t ever generally buy a brand new car “man” mainly due to the depreciation, you just have to look at the M5 for that, anyone buying a new one is an idiot. Rich people are rich people for a reason, they made smart investments, not stupid ones.
Donno, but for this kind of money it doesn't feel special enough... It looks nothing special,the interior is boring I hate these digital dispaly and above all, the drive train can be found in cheaper BMWs. I Would take the 911 turbo \Bentley V8 anyday.
It's funny to see people claim that some car doesn't feel special when they haven't even seen it in person, let alone driven it. Especially when people who actually have driven it were impressed with it.
One trick for turning it off completely is unlock it first then a long press on the radio off button. That's a clean way to ensure the electronics are off when exiting but not locking (as in your garage).
Not sure if you ever tried one but hop on any S1000RR, any, any year, any model, BMW doesn't mess around. I let my Dad ride mine for not even 20min....he was a 30+ year rider....he bought one 2 days later. To preface it so you understand what they did, you'll need to hop on any ZX10-R, wait until it hits around 9k rpm and just goes off.....the BMW pulls like that, except from beginning to end. It's nuts.
This car seems a bit underrated. I think it is the best GT ever built to date. Some GTs beat it in specific areas but, they all lose out in a full comparison where there are multiple aspects to cover. it comes down to this and the 911 as it always does and for once, this car beats it.
Honestly this is probably the first sponsor I could use, recently bought a 535xi got a 15 over ticket on my way to get it and a 30 over shortly after, good thing the officer clocked me as I was slowing down, went around a corner pretty hot.
From 2009-2014 I was the biggest BMW fanboy and had a 128i and E90 M3 comp. However as soon as the M4 came out that was what did it for me and the brand... the lawn mower exhaust told me everything I needed to know about the direction the brand was going in.
It’s a shame that despite how technically superb this car is, it makes absolutely no sense at that price point. When you can get a VERY lightly used E63 S AMG for half the price, or a Bentley Conti GT, Aston Vantage, 911 Turbo etc etc for the same money it’s almost impossible to recommend it. It’s a ‘premium’ brand competing at a luxury price point. BMW should follow VAG and buy a high-end marque (e.g Lamborghini and Bugatti in the case of VAG) to badge their higher priced models, because the BMW badge doesn’t hold any credibility when you get over 100k. I can’t wait to buy one of these in a few years when they’re worth 30% of the new price. The M6 was a phenomenal used bargain.
Yep. new they don't make much Sense but used they're a thing of beauty. I'm about to buy a 2014 M6 gran coupe for $35 usd. 60k Miles. All options. Sticker was$145 .six years later,$35. You gotta love it.
They were behind me for about 5 miles up to Newcomb's. No Issues keeping pace, as they had 400 hp extra. Don't know if he had reserve mid-corner speed, but on those tires I have to imagine he did. I was on 5 year old G-Force Sport Comp-2's. RE-71R's are going on in about 2 weeks.

I'm just curious. It has the same drivetrain. So I assume soon M5s will be tunable with all the software improvements the M8 has (if the new M5s selling now already don't have them). Is M8 then still a better car than an M5 for that amount of money?

That guy beating the shit out of that poor 308 had me on the verge of tears from laughter
I know Zack said he was not driving slow but was he trying to catch the 308 at the end and couldn’t? Just curious. Great review as usual.
They were behind me for about 5 miles up to Newcomb's. No Issues keeping pace, as they had 400 hp extra. Don't know if he had reserve mid-corner speed, but on those tires I have to imagine he did. I was on 5 year old G-Force Sport Comp-2's. RE-71R's are going on in about 2 weeks.
@beauschmo that’s awesome that was you. Love 308s man.
@@troypatillo1688 Couldn't figure out how to send a DM...assuming not many folks are digging back in this deep, here's a personal clip for ya: th-cam.com/video/vl4OdqU2GWA/w-d-xo.html
This is great wish we could do this in Australia
5:52 *That guy standing there is like the audience in Initial D. Came all the way to the mountain just to see the car for about 3 seconds driving by. Anyone else thought that was pretty ridiculous?*
i love watching you cruise these roads and running into other car folk
Pair reviews for the win!
Did anyone else react when they did to the truck mobbin around that turn.. I did. Lol
Is this the first two takes?
Nice format!
The color is perfect
That green looks amazing
Great video! Any chance of doing the Gran Coupe in the future as well?
That's a nice timepiece Matt 🤙🤙
That 308 driver
Those shifts are lightning-quick.
Man that's one beautiful car!
"Exhaust pumped into the cabin"? Is that the Jeffery Epstien Edition?
Based on BMWs history It’s the third reich edition
You guys should film more co-drives - you have a cool dynamic together! nohomo
Curious about air to water intercoolers - do they just run antifreeze mix? I'm guessing so.. Otherwise it would freeze in cold temp right?
*looks great in that color with those wheels
If I had a dollar for every time Matt said "mobbing" I could afford all the cars he tests lol.
Supra need to adopt those mirrors
I'm just curious. It has the same drivetrain. So I assume soon M5s will be tunable with all the software improvements the M8 has (if the new M5s selling now already don't have them). Is M8 then still a better car than an M5 for that amount of money?
whats the location they test cars at ?
You guys do the best reviews. ✅ hexagons are so hot right now 😂 -Zoolander
Matt what watch is that?I like the sun burst dial.
