M850 is a sleeper, for a daily driver it's great. M8 is a true M car but really harsh to drive daily, M850 has the split personality needed for midlife guys who have families but wanna cut loose when solo...
As an owner, the best thing about the car is how it gurgles when you let off the accelerator. Second is how the rpms swell when braking in anticipation of needing the power. Both in sports mode.
i always wanted an m8 but a year ago I had money for an m850 coupe. i driver and I liked it a lot, that I had money to add to get an m8 , I driver it and was so upset how bad it is for driving in the city compared to my m850 ( suspension and gear box super sporty , sound is bad) so I ve just made chip race and now It is a solid car, I love a lot.
1:56 I totally agree. Audi S7 is also very nice but this offers more power and a v8 with just as much luxury. Same goes for Gt53 but all 3 are great options
I just parted with an S7 for the m850i Gran Coupe. There are things I truly enjoy more about the S7, like the excitement of the aesthetic of both the interior and exterior, the user experience is more refined overall from a look and feel standpoint w/ the instruments and technology, however, the number of options are certainly less, the power of the engine is substantially different, though not a deal breaker on the Audi side - the main issue for me interestingly enough, had to do with the seat adjustability in the BMW - it's vastly superior, and if you are taller, and broad-chested, not having an adjustable headrest is a big deal for grand tours, as it were.
Perfect spec car. I had s 440i MPPSK in Tanzanite Blue Metallic with Cognag interior and I miss it greatly. Put 15 percent tints on this and cruise in STYLE
call me crazy, but I would take this over an M8 anydays. 523 hp is more than enough. the eco pro mode is nuts! I had 20 miles of test drive and it give me 30-31mpg on highway. how is that possible with an V8 without cylinder deactivation?!
The sad thing is I don’t trust anyone I know to sit in the rear seats on that nice leather. I’d keep the factory plastic down and NO food or drinks, ever! 😬
I can't stand sedans and SUVs. Now sedans are called coupes? Why is that even a thing? Copes are two door sports cars. Not sedans. I must be the one of the very few on the planet who prefers having a nice two door coupe. I don't have kids. Therefore, I don't need a sedan or some huge freaking truck.
A beguiling vehicle indeed. Now, one must ask: is it possible that BMW might be trying to beguilianate their customers with such iteration? I wonder...
Proverbs 1:7 "For the fear of the lord is the beginning of knowledge but fools will despise wisdom and instruction." To have arrived at the assertation I didn't make me, I see what's going on around me and I'm not trying to make the God that makes angry. As some of the things you see are evident warning shots. James 3:16 "For where envying and strife is there is confusion and every evil work." All sins require a little uncaring selfishness to accomplish. Matthew 4:17 "For at about that time Jesus began to preach repent the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Repent: to ask change your mind, to change your ways to believe in Jesus and what he said. Note: when someone asks for forgiveness at each point in the past they wish they had done nothing wrong. I believe the Holy Bible, the KJV is the most accurate modern English interpretation, pray for wisdom
