the episode
so what do we have here the most
powerful bmw engine put
into production a very sleek cooper-like
roofline with carbon fiber roof
truck mode drift mode switchable four
wheel drive system
with so many things this should be the
tip of the iceberg right well
almost you see don't get me wrong it is a very very good system however it makes me ask some questions when you consider its starting base price tag of 165 000 euros for example the lack of four wheel steering from the lesser m850i and bmw says it is because they wanted to make the car as pure as natural to drive
i think it was more like because of the reason so they can save some money on it and they did by carrying it over from the m5 competition speaking of which this m8 is m5 in an 8 series body and it might be just me but i think that the rebranding of the 6 series into the 8 series in the last couple of years was a very very smart marketing trick that bmw used to make this car look more premium and ask a higher price tag for it being the best bmw yet
we should cover some of the specs this 4.4 liter twin turbo v8 monster comes with 625 horsepower and 750 newton meters and coupled to an eight-speed automatic exeter gearbox and all-wheel drive should make it good enough to sprint from zero to 100 kilometers an hour in 3.1 seconds

weighing 1900 kilos we actually time this exact car in 3.1 seconds in a drug race against an amg gt63 so if you want to watch that video click the link down below and being m5 underneath means very good things
for example you get the two wheel drive switchable system that gives you the drift mode which is probably a lot of fun but also quite expensive on the tires and the insurance and second thing the few starvation issues from the m5 have been resolved another very important thing and i really like about the new bmws is that the higher you climb the model range
the more kit you get the standard not unlike some of its main competitors that will charge you everything even on their top of the line models and yes i'm talking to you audi and mercedes being an m car it gets whole special m suspension
not only the springs and the dumpers but
also the main arms and
a lot of underbody bracing before we
move on to the interior i want to talk
which spec
you should and shouldn't spec about this
car first and foremost
will be the bmw laser light not only
they add
extra sharpness to the car with their
amazing blue accents but also
improve the nighttime visibility and the
other option is the m drivers package
you get your vmax unlock and a day in
the
m driver performance academy in germany what i wouldn't expect is definitely the carbon ceramic brakes they're very expensive the normal ones work really really well and let's be honest how many of the owners are actually going to bring this car to a truck being the most expensive bmw on offer right now and competing against some of its main rivals in the gt segment like the mercedes s-class coupe and the bentley continental gt the interior of this m8 is slightly controversial
as well don't get me wrong it is really really good all the materials are extremely well made like the carbon fiber and the metal trim around the place the leather extremely soft the stitching just perfect and you get probably the best in class infotainment system the idrive 7 it is definitely now more complicated with more menus compared to the idrive 6 which was replaced recently however it is still a very easy and good
interface to be used but where my problem is with this car is that you can fully spec an entry level 1 series and you get almost the same layout and control as this m8 and this lack of personalization might be the reason to draw more customers over to the other brands the cabin is built very very well this gt offers loads of space in the front with limited amounts in the rear but where it is most important that it offers some very neat features that are shooting the car the character of this luxury car for example the heated door air center armrest and another really cool feature that i absolutely love are these
bright red m1 and m2 buttons which lets you configure your pre-selected driving modes and you can access them with a quick switch the first thing i have noticed when driving this u-spec m8 competition with opf filter or opf fitted to it is that it is very very quiet even with the flaps open and thanks to the new e-regulations now the pops and banks are gone too thankfully

there are plenty of tuners
that against some money will solve this
issue
without any problems
an expensive heavy car such as this m8
competition that claims to be both
very good on the track and on the road
needs a very expensive software
to keep you safe from crushing it and
this one i can tell you
works very very well except in two wheel
drive where the esp is off
and you're left alone with your own
skills so i'd keep the car today in four
wheel drive mode only
a couple of months ago i've driven the
m5
competition
and this m8 competition feels much
sharper to drive
mainly because if center of gravity
being lower to the ground with 24
millimeters and you also get two very
handy buttons down in the center console
the one for the exhaust slabs and the
second one
called the mode which lets you toggle
through different driving modes
from road sport and truck so far so good
but
how this ultimate gt performs in the
comfort department
well i can tell you straight away the
ride is positive but it's still
very well
composed on these uneven
surfaces and road bumps in bulgaria
and this is where the lesser superior
more comfortable
m850i might make more sense for you
because
it is more comfortable just as luxurious
and it still has that illegally fast
530 horsepower 4.4 liter twin turbo v8
independently of which car you go for
you won't make any bad choice
thank you so much for watching guys if
you made it that far to the video hit
the subscribe button
and i'm gonna see you on the next one oh
yeah and i forgot about the viewing
column in case you care
well it's a lot
