I got a ride along with Bill Auberlin in an M3 Comp Xdrive at Sonoma last year, and it was insane the type of speeds he was carrying and the ease with which he made it move around while casually talking. Gave me an idea how fast my own car can be driven by a legendary driver with no care for the cost of tires or brakes. That was a great experience.
Got an 2023 M8 Comp Brooklyn Grey (UK) last year in Sept and it is amazing. Every time when I drive it I get the same vibes like I had the first day when I've got it. The downside about it is the exhaust/sound restrictions if it is stock. Beautiful design. I'll do a long trip in Europe in August (French alps being part of the trip). Very excited for that.
yeah this car seems like it has so much performance potential but its held back by its weight as a GT car. an M8 CS with a stripped down interior and carbon all over to maybe get it down under 3900 pounds and this thing could be a weapon
Thinking about cashing out an M8 out with my entire savings. Hmmmm….

Been to homestead in my E36 M3 ! Always a pleasure to see Bill driving an M car! I bought both my E39 M5 and my E63 M6 after seeing him test drive them(passion/MPOWER)
Almost bought one. Probably the best looking car in the lineup and a v8 BUT the rear seats are so useless (standard coupe) it might as well be a two seater. When I say useless, I mean less room than a 230/240. The depreciation is staggering too, makes it worth buying used.
@@thierryroucourt imo they should have given it a bit more rear seat room at least equivalent to the 2 series. It’s a long enough wheelbase take a little from the boot if needed.
Call me crazy but I want the new iDrive in it. I think they're trying to make something that differentiates from the lower models. But the current UI looks antiquated. But other than that I love the 8. Very balanced.
I think they should've just stopped on M850i just like they stopped on X7 m60i. Some models that have a whole design around being GT or utilitarian should not be full blown M cars.
The manufacturer is trying to drum up sales of this old model. The interior tech is behind the times relative to the other models in the lineup. Nothing new to see here and sales results are indicative of same. They think people are ignorant but not for the folks in the market for this type of car. There are too many other cars in this market segment that are much newer.
Thank goodness they didn't ruin the interior with that awful flat screen, i have an X1 2023 model and i'm getting rid of it, i loathe these touch screens.
BMW M8 is a great GT car and very capable; sad thing BMW gave up its DCT and uses the ZF Auto, which is less thrilling - Also the fake sound is horrible, please stop doing that. Cheers
@@bmwblog I take the DCT over the very generic ZF, but I understand manufacturers try to outsource to save some money 💰 I know that ZF is not bad but it’s just less exciting, the way the DCT puts in the gears ⚙️ especially when you have a modified exhaust system ist just ahhhhhhh But hey 👋🏼 escalate have different taste. Cheers
So I don't hate BMW's but i have to say now BMW's are getting boring because bmw uses 4.4L twin turbo v8 all the time the m5 have it and m8,x5m,x6m,XM and the next gen m5 and m8 will have it too what i learned from this is that bmw can't make a more powerful engine than that v8 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 i know i know they are super fast but still 👎👎 come on BMW do better make a super car or a hyper car
This engine has endless potential and with minor tuning option the car goes above 800-900 hp. There is plenty of potential with the platform it has. BMWNeeded to have a decent enough segment for this car. Anything with more power would be a lot more expensive and would reduce the marketability of the vehicle. To focus on more power and to complaining about it is merely being a bit difficult; especially when talking about a car that is faster from 0-60 than a Z06 Corvette, a Porsche GT-2 RS, Ferrari 458, Ferrari F8 and many others. Tell us what would be satisfactory for you or better yet; find one that would fit your specifications and enjoy it.
@@t3drill Your right but I am just mad because AMG built a hyper car and some super cars. I love BMW's i just want bmw to build a super car looking model. Maybe we just have to wait and see in the future
This is why we included chapters, so you can skip to whatever you want. Not sure what else to do to make it less boring...the idea is to share a lot of information that might be useful to someone looking to buy the car.
I would like to know the designer who drew the most beautiful BMW of all time, this design is beautiful
John Buckingham. But he made the 8 Series. The M8 was likely improved by the M division design team
@@bmwblog 👍
M6 is far more beautiful 😂
Is this m8 faster than the older one
@@abeybaby1035no
Bought 2024 M8 GC and I'm really enjoying it. It is a missile and eats miles. Very comfortable, while turning in well for such a big car.
This is why I wanted Bill to tell me more about the car :) Cause he can definitely turn in
One of my favourite cars of all time
It is a beauty, for sure

:) yes. It puts things in perspective. And he wasn't probably even pushing the car
One of the best bmw M8 👌
now and then i do long roadtrips through europe with it, it's a perfect gt ! power, speed, luxerious, and just so good looking ❤
It was meant for that. I wish I had the Alps in this Florida drive :)

thx for sharing
The BMW M8 is currently the most beautiful of all BMWs, I wish they would release an M8 CS
It does have a good design
yeah this car seems like it has so much performance potential but its held back by its weight as a GT car. an M8 CS with a stripped down interior and carbon all over to maybe get it down under 3900 pounds and this thing could be a weapon
i will own this car one day
me too.

Bill is awesome.
Gorgeous car. Classic looks and style.
Gorgeous Panerai. Classic looks and style 😉
:) good eye
it is the best looking BMW even for a biased M2 fanboy
It is for sure
The best looking is the M6 and M6 gran coupè.
@@RPYMCMBthis looks pretty much the same but with way better proportions
@@yimpyoi9808 check out the all blacked out M6 gran coupe. We have to agree to disagree cuz that car was beyond words. The lines, sharpness, etc…
was lucky enough to get the same car, color and all the other day. Had the M5 before, but this one is just special. Definitely a fun car
Like it better than the M8?
Man. Those BMW’s are the baddest rides only beaten by Porsche, modified R8’s and modified GTR’s and the likes! Believe that!
It's a good car, for sure. Expensive though
Test drive one on saturday 14hr test drive the thing is a rocket
It's silly fast
I did the 24hr test drive exact same color it's so fasst and it wasn't even competition version
we need new gen M8. its been a minute since the M8 released
None planned for a while. When it comes, it will be just a Gran Coupe
BEAUTIFUL !!!🔥🔥🔥
I love my M8 Competition Convertible. My favorite BMW I have owned.

I agree on the rear seats. Good for bags though.
@@bmwblog yup basically Porsche 911 size but that’s a sports car not a grand tourer
true, perfect for 2 people not for 4, it has a very big booth though ! 🙂
@@thierryroucourt imo they should have given it a bit more rear seat room at least equivalent to the 2 series. It’s a long enough wheelbase take a little from the boot if needed.
I guess they figured people would need more cargo space, especially for things like golf clubs and such
Brilliant!!! The only thing that it is missing is a cassette player.
haha that would be cool
I give it a 💯 in the looks department simply because of the grill
I think it's more than that. The overall shape is quite nice for a GT
Baddest vehicle on the planet!
Great video I enjoy these! Thank you
Glad you like them!
I will own this car one day InshaaAllah
What a sexy car I've been in love with it for a few years. I need to figure out how to get one lol
Why do some BMW vehicles make it seem as if the back passenger seat area isn't important (considering the space).
Just stupid gorgeous!
It is pretty nice. Especially in that spec
Bro, WTF is up with the refresh delay?? This is LITERALLY the only car in the lineup that hasnt received idrive 8 and the new interior.
actually some of us prefer that. The smaller screen is nice
@@bmwblogyep 😊
Great car
Agreed. Expensive but great
No moonroof??
I’m going to own this car and a trx by next month
Do you think the M8CS is in development and going into production?
It's not. There is no M8 CS coming
@@bmwblog It's really a pity
Nice I have acquired the time stone. Now. It will happen as I'm aware of it happening
Call me crazy but I want the new iDrive in it. I think they're trying to make something that differentiates from the lower models. But the current UI looks antiquated. But other than that I love the 8. Very balanced.
Some people don't want that new UI and the lack of buttons :)
I just only 2 cars
Mustang
M8 Competition ❤
Aren't they somewhat similar? :)
Isnt the m8 comp in the Top 100 fastest cars for a nords time? It can defs be s track car
So the M8 is more confortable than a X5///M or a X///M ?
It is, definitely
Dream car
nothing really change but the price alwaYS HAHA i have a 2021 m8 its the same car i wanted to see if the 2024 different
Still has the “fake” exhaust sound inside the cabin?
Yes
BMW THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think they should've just stopped on M850i just like they stopped on X7 m60i. Some models that have a whole design around being GT or utilitarian should not be full blown M cars.
Maybe but at that time, there was a market for these cars
2.5 tonnes? I read 1945kg kerb weight
I think you're right, around 2060 kg. I was wrong.
Don’t get too excited about the fact it still has physical buttons. The 8 Series is next on the list for an update….
There is no next 8 series yet. And if there will be, 2029 with Gran Coupe only

I don't know what BMW plans to do, but we're here to review cars. And that's exactly what we did
hell yeah 2 door cars >>>>>>
I own the M5 the best all round car 🚙 out there 👍😎
Different car though
Thank goodness they didn't ruin the interior with that awful flat screen, i have an X1 2023 model and i'm getting rid of it, i loathe these touch screens.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
As much as I love this car, however I feel it became a bit outdated from the interior view.
Ughhhh....yeah. changed thoughts about this. M5 CS was peak even admitted by this guy. The fake noises too....wow.
Very different cars.
Fake sounds would prevent me from buying
The engine sounds great even without the fake sound. Plus, you can turn it off
BMW M8 is a great GT car and very capable; sad thing BMW gave up its DCT and uses the ZF Auto, which is less thrilling - Also the fake sound is horrible, please stop doing that. Cheers
Actually that ZF is really really good. I agree on the fake sounds, but it can be turned off

I just hate the exhaust note on this car :(. If it sounded like my I6 I would buy it
I don't know, that V8 is pretty awesome
2.5 tons? 😂
Was wrong. About 2000 kg.
Overselling. Repetitive points
No one is overselling anything.
0-60 in less than 3 seconds! I dont think so
See here www.caranddriver.com/bmw/m8 They clocked 2.5 seconds
m2 way better
Two different cars.
Inline 6 track enthusiast car vs V8 luxury sports car
617 HP and the acceleration still does not cut it. Combustion cars are simply outdated.
Drive one dude
Ugly shape. Prefer then older one,. The real 850i.
I mean, comparing apples and oranges. That car is decades old

There will never be another V10 or V12. BMW is not investing in new engines
