Yes, M8 GC is prettier than M5, but nobody mentions the smaller seats, less space that you have inside an M8 (Grand Coupe). I also feel the central console buttons quality a bit 'cheaper' than in the M5. On a track, of course I felt the M8 much better than the M5, but overall daily driver, I'll stick to the M5 for the moment :)
Couldn´t agree more with the great review - the 8 is right now the best looking BMW! Ok they tried something new with the 4. We will get over it. And I might need to get over it that cars got that heavy - EV´s will not change it. We see the last hurrah of the ICE cars, and what a great one it is!
I’d have really preferred if BMW didn’t pretend that this was a track toy and just made it good for roads & perhaps occasional spirited canyon driving. Does it really need a track mode and that many coolers? Added simplicity may have worked wonders for it
It is definetely not broken and probably the AC. @Michael Opere Wow claiming that all BMWs are built broken is just not true they belong to the most reliable cars out there and are high quality...
AC evap tube is on the firewall so highly unlikely that it’s the AC way back at the trans AND why would they drip cold water on a very hot trans ( would crack the case eventually)
M8 is so beautiful and capable. It's gonna be a hard choice between M8GC and GT63S. But people would definitely choose it over Panamera turbo/Turbo S. Many people believe the ZF 8speed auto has upgraded in M power cars after 2019 like M8 to match the launch control system better than F90M5 and give people a more stable straight line performance. So it's not just the difference of body style and interior. Many other things are also different like you mentioned.
Yeah, the Panamera is just too ugly for me. Better in the new version but still hideous. I still can't wrap my head around that the incredibly ugly 1st gen Panam was designed by a company called Porsche.
@@hazardeur You know....beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, the new Panamera is good looking to my eyes, the 1st gen though was hideous - we call it "the whale" and there are stories why it turned out like it did with the hunchback - in the back.
Motoman, so which would you pick? M8 Gran Coupe Comp, '21 E63S, or Panamera Turbo/GTS? I'm in the market but don't have dealers near me that have these cars to test drive. Appreciate your thoughts!

For me too, but we are a dying breed... And you should be able to slide back the sunroof, not just see the sky. Not popular anymore I am afraid and of course it would contradict the whole concept of saving weight for this track focused car.
I don’t understand the price point and no moonroof available bc really these aint going to the track there for people who love to drive need a fun drive to and from work and that’s back roads stereo cranked and moonroof open

The M440 Gran Coupe will be just as pretty and handle much better, for less than half the price. BMW should stick to its knitting and stay out of Porsche's back yard.
Everyone keeps bitching about the weight of a car and most wont track it. Its a GT not made for a track and the more weight you take from it the chances of some dumb ass will run the light and kill you.

those over the shoulder shots while accelerating kick ass
Thank you!
Thoroughly enjoy your work
An M8 wagon would be so awesome!
I have this exact car and color
Motoman you reviewing the c8 rs7? Would love to hear how it stacks up against this and the e63s amg.
6:55 is he seriously resting his foot on the bumper ffs
Hope you get that leak sorted out soon.

My car horsepower number also starts with 6 but its only double digit...
1:18 what the hell is that already leaking from that part of the underside??? Please tell me it’s the AC....
All BMWS are built broken,including leakages

Man that is a beautiful car. Shame that the prices with vehicle tax start at 291000€ in Finland 🙄
No body makes co-coo clocks like the Germans. 🤔
Between this and AMG GT63s 4-door (god bless that name), what would your choice be?
This would be my daily driver and the AMG my private ride
AMG is a boat. I’d get the coupe of this.
@@D5002 my buddy owns the Amg gt63s and it's a weapon you definitely don't know what you are talking about.
You will find out next Saturday . . . But I can say this now: A somewhat surprising answer.
@@MotoManTV M8 GC beats it in performance metrics
Motoman, so which would you pick? M8 Gran Coupe Comp, '21 E63S, or Panamera Turbo/GTS? I'm in the market but don't have dealers near me that have these cars to test drive. Appreciate your thoughts!
We will be visiting that very question this coming Saturday.
@@MotoManTV Vielen Dank
M8 comp destroys m5 comp in 60 to 130
is it a downsized 28-cyl 803 engine developed for Amerikabomber
Impressive car but..... in video 1:20min - what is the engine leaking??.... condensate drain... or oil.
Great car.
I prefer 10x BMW more than Mercedes. I find them really ugly. Always thought that
She's chunky.
As always, excellent work, M.

Isn´t this muuuch better than the atrociously looking X coupes of late? Yes, it is.
Ofcourse
The shape of the hatchback with none of the advantages? Not that impressed really. The 6 series GC was a real looker.
BMWs are built like replicants. 4 year life span. But I think replicants live longer.
1:19 secs it was already leaking
bmw is not for everyone... buy your hyundai
@@jjodise lol funny thing is that's all I drive is bmw clown
Sunroof or panoramic sunroof is a must feature for me! So this bimmer can hold this L.
For me too, but we are a dying breed... And you should be able to slide back the sunroof, not just see the sky. Not popular anymore I am afraid and of course it would contradict the whole concept of saving weight for this track focused car.

I would rather own a 2021 Porsche Panamera Turbo S. Even at $200,000 large. Way nicer interior and the Porsche front facia says, Yes I am special!
While the m8 is a crazy car, I think its 20k overpriced. Then it gets into the m5 comp territory.. its a hard sell over the m5 comp imo
8 Series wagon isn't far off ... Mercedes had the CLS Shooting Brake after all
They dumped it because of atrocious sale numbers.
@@LarryKippings You can have the 5 series station wagon over here - but not as a M or Comp
@@LarryKippings too bad, you could get it with a teak floor
8 Series station wagon! How ridiculous!
If that’s the AC evap dripping down the transmission, wtf were they thinking dripping ice cold water on a hot trans case. Bring Money With smh.
Am I the only one who thinks this looks too much like a Kia Stinger?
$167K ? Having driven one a few months ago, I am sorry to say it is not worth that.
The M440 Gran Coupe will be just as pretty and handle much better, for less than half the price. BMW should stick to its knitting and stay out of Porsche's back yard.
Except this M8 is faster and better looking than any Panamera.
interior is so boring tho. never been a fan of BMW's interior lately.
Why does this have to weigh 4500 lbs, BMW? The ultimate driving experience? I think not.
You are right, it's a lot of weight. but the GT63S and Panamera Turbo S are even heavier!
Do you want a fast luxury car or V8 stuff in a 2door cutlass? Lol
Everyone keeps bitching about the weight of a car and most wont track it. Its a GT not made for a track and the more weight you take from it the chances of some dumb ass will run the light and kill you.
Trying so hard but still failing to care about this over priced 6 series
LMAO coupay
Incredibly horrible design.
Great car, terrible color how can someone pick this color the one's that who does must have a mental health issue
Tony I actually like the color, works well with the interior. I'd still go with Oxford green though ;)
@@s.m.2868 this color makes the car look like an old honda it mutes the look
I have mental health issues then. But thats not new... ;-)
@@Tony-hj7bm I honestly like the color
For me this is a a shittier M5.
