What about adding a new BMW M850i to the garage for daily driver duties? It seems to tick a lot of boxes, I'm a big fan of driving it, and it rather seems like you guys like it too... so, what about it?
Hi Shmee, I think it would be a fair decision to add one to your fleet, but in my opinion wait for the M8, then add both DBS and M8 together in your garage. Can't wait for your Ford GT and Mclaren Senna
@@Shmee150 Actually, this morning fotos of the M8 Competition without diguise have been leaked. Just google M8 Leak, it should come right up. Its really really good looking. Im from Munich and I am super proud of what they have done with it.
Unsurprisingly I saw those yesterday, and of course I've been out in the prototype car on video already too; it's going to be great ua-cam.com/video/2oYl4Fl1mtw/v-deo.html
The M850i certainly would be a good addition to your garage Shmee and would be one of the perfect grand tourers ever in your garage and certainly does pack the opulence and the elegance of a supercar but at the same time the comfort of a luxury car making for the perfect package in our current era. Also, if you do add it please take the blue or the red colour it really makes the car stand out. Great video Shmee. Shquad!!!
You should definitely get one! It looks so good and its an amazing autobahn cruiser. The only negative thing about it is that its limited to 250kph and i believe there is no option to get rid of that limiter. It would be nice to go a bit faster on the german autobahn :p
Interesting, I'm surprised there's no M Driver's Package to raise that but will look into it! Would be a shame not to exercise the 300km/h blasting ability
@@Shmee150 yeah i'm also surprised that there is no M driver's package for it. You should check it out for yourself though, i might be wrong or have wrong informations. But like i said, you should get one if you like it!
@Stitch you could do that yes. But its funny how they dont offer it from factory. They offer the M drivers package on all of the other M cars. Well thinking about it, its maybe because this is not a proper M car like the M3, M4, M5 are. Its more of a 850i with a few or less M parts than proper M cars have. Just like the M240i is not a proper M car for example. I could imagine the M8 when it comes out has no such limiter or you atleast can get the M driver's package
The 8 Series will likely have the same fate as the 7 Series, 50% depreciation in the first year. Even the 760 that retails for nearly 200k is available within 10 months little mileage for half the price. The 8 Series is unfortunately just a facelift of the 6 Series and is so far away from the Concept model that it doesn't match the status they promised. It was supposed to compete with the S Coupe/Cabrio but it's behind in absolutely everything, the interior is a joke for something that starts at 125k and it didn't even try to learn from the competitor... the backseats don't even have a LIGHT above!
Yeah you should get the 850i. It’s absolutely stunning and it’s clear that you absolutely love it. Isn’t that what everyone looks for in a car, regardless of what it is? Get it, man!
Definitely add it to your stable. If it does not work out you can always replace it. The only two permanent things in life are Death and Taxes. Hope you enjoy this car.
I still think the M8 definitely warranted the V12 perhaps supercharged (from the 760Li) or the a refined version of the glorious V10 (S85B50) from my E63 M6!
I think the v10 is not a good engine. It sounds very good but it has rod bearings issue as Hell. So I dont think BMW will use the s65b50 engine anymore. Even this socalled new v8 is also having issues so the best engine they have is the v12 from the 7 series. So the v10 and the rod bearings issue will steer me way off cars with that engine, sorry.""
Would be a nice daily for you. Though, the 40d wont get a problem with diesel-ban in Frankfurt. It only affects Euro1-4 from Feb 2019 and Euro 5 from September 2019. The 40d is Euro6. Still I'd rather take the M850i as fuelmoney doesnt seem to be a problem and V8 always wins. Maybe compare this to your dads DB11.
No Tim , not correct! City of Frankfurt is actually trying to bann dirty diesel. Any diesel below emission 6. So any diesel you buy now has to be a modern car and you’re fine
That's correct some cities in Germany are only banning older diesels and definitely non of the newly homologated / registered models! Frankfurt will only ban Euro4 cars from 02/19 and Euro5 from 09/19 but non of the Euro6 vehicles! The ban even includes Euro1 and Euro2 petrol cars. So not just diesels......
No need for me to run the wipers as the driver there was nothing in my eye-line, but like I said I literally had about 30 mins with the car so the last thing on my mind was running indoors to find something to spend 10 of those minutes cleaning it with xD
100% you should get one. It's extremely daily useable, it looks amazing and it drives like a real supercar with the all wheel steering and all wheel drive/rear wheel drive. Honestly this is one of my dream cars, maybe the M8 is even better but I think I prefer the M850i as it is less expensive, more useable as daily and probably way more comfortable. Also can you please stop buying all my dream cars? Greetings from Germany!
I love how this thing looks, its such a nice cruiser. But whats the fuel consumption under normal every day conditions? I mean it still has a probably thirsty v8.
I don't know how BMW manage to package less space inside the 8 Series than you get in a 4 Series coupe. However I look forward to the Grand Coupe and am really pleased that BMW have finally added 4WD to the UK versions. Might have to wait to get a one year old one though.
Shmee go check out the new BMW M8 competition package leaked photos I want to know what you think about it. BTW the competition will be available along with the regular M8 at the same time!!
Yes, if you watched my video in the prototype M8 a few weeks ago, I told you what models are launching at what time xD ua-cam.com/video/2oYl4Fl1mtw/v-deo.html
Nooooo wait for the M8 GTS haha I did see the M850xi in person though. Blue with all black trim accents and wheels and I gotta say, I can’t believe the M8 can look any better
Surprised you didn't touch on the Integral active steering here, Makes the car feel properly small to navigate around town, also no exhaust clips but the 850i is approaching the sound that an AMG makes and even the 840d sounds okay from the outside as long as it has the exhaust!
Very stylish package and defo pick the petrol over the diesel for that v8 rumble! I wonder how long it will be for the UK to start diesel ban in big cities?
You like comfort and power Tim so this 850i would be a fun Euro Cruiser. Did you notice you were slowing the tour bus down in the beautiful countryside of Spain??? What could Dinan do with this powerplant??
Hi shmee. I think the bmw m850i would be a perfect daily driver on the shmee fleet. Also are u going to take delivery of a new Mercedes amp g63. That would male some awsome video ideas like you could go off-roading in the g63

Yup you should add it

why not an S Class coupé AMG series or even wait for the M8?
Shmee150 yeeeeeees!

Would love to see a long term review of this, this should definitely be your next daily driver !
Suits you best, pity its not V 12 like my '91 model, 530hp is way plenty sir
100% absolutely go for it!
Get one! It sticks out so much to other cars, and it's fun also.
This car is absolutely smashin it
This is the first you tube video I didn't skip past the advert at the beginning !
Been waiting for this.
Verrrrry tempting. Although I’m going to wait.
Great video, thank you for sharing 👍👍👍
Was getting new tires for my GT and one just arrived at my dealership. Black with black wheels and red interior. Hot!
Absoluely LOVE that car!! I think you should get one.
The sunset orange is just beautiful
Definitely get the m8 it will be a great edition to your collection
You can certainly see the family resemblance to the 4 series. And that's not a bad thing, to my eyes
Beautiful car in every way, I'm not sure if this has quite enough of the wow factor for 100k ! Another great video Shmee, thanks
Tim. I finally got your book for my Birthday (yesterday) and I think its really good and the pictures are really good quality. 😃👍

@@danieledwards9856 My estimate wasn't wrong after all.

Some shmee150 magic going on there Tim.
Great review and such a stunning car, the M8 is going to be epic!
This fella changes his car more often than I change my under dogs.
Go for it Tim !
Yesss! Good choise Tim!
Great video as always! Love your reviews
Yes! It’s such a beautiful vehicle, it definitely suits your lifestyle in my opinion!
I still think the M8 definitely warranted the V12 perhaps supercharged (from the 760Li) or the a refined version of the glorious V10 (S85B50) from my E63 M6!
CMO Vlogs
Nazi-EU regulations are probably behind the reason to why it doesn’t have the V12, i’m affraid.
M8 with v12??? Who wants to spend $250,000 for bmw brand?
I think the v10 is not a good engine. It sounds very good but it has rod bearings issue as Hell. So I dont think BMW will use the s65b50 engine anymore. Even this socalled new v8 is also having issues so the best engine they have is the v12 from the 7 series. So the v10 and the rod bearings issue will steer me way off cars with that engine, sorry.""
I agree do it shmee, it would be the perfect daily driver in Germany and I bet its comfortable for the long autobahn cruises
definetly YES
Perfect addition! 👍 Greetings from Denver Colorado 👋
You don’t need a m850i...You need the next m8 competition!!Have you seen it on frozen blue!?Incredible car!!
Beautiful! I love it!
Get one! The blue is the best color by far
Yes, I think it'd suit you perfectly.
Love the vid, I’ll be driving one of these soon.
The glasses don’t fit crap advert. Constructive crit.
Lovely car great review
Yes bro it is a beast!
Yes. Most definitely. Favourite coupé from my favourite European brand
Absolutely great car but I think I would wait for the M. As always great video's Please come to USA & do some Test Drives
I'm normally a Merc guy but this car is stunning
Very , very nice!, would be a great dd, but would love to see you in a M8!
I saw your Gt-r amg on another video of cars going round the nurb. Beautiful motor
Yes, definitely!!! A classy car mixing business and performance.
Yes! Its perfect

Since obviously work together with bmw, there is no doubt in my mind you’ll get one as a long time loaner just as you did with the m5
If you get the 850i, it has to be in Shmee blue! Where did you get your shoes, their cool looking ?
It makes sense. This bmw is pretty insane
No Tim , not correct! City of Frankfurt is actually trying to bann dirty diesel. Any diesel below emission 6. So any diesel you buy now has to be a modern car and you’re fine
Yeah I was wondering about that. Surely they can't just ban diesel cars with such short notice.
That's correct some cities in Germany are only banning older diesels and definitely non of the newly homologated / registered models! Frankfurt will only ban Euro4 cars from 02/19 and Euro5 from 09/19 but non of the Euro6 vehicles! The ban even includes Euro1 and Euro2 petrol cars. So not just diesels......
The new 8 series is possibly the best looking BMW in the past 20yrs, can't wait to see the M8.
I think you should get yourself a nice little (big) RS6, seem to be an excellent all rounder.
Go for it shmee because we love it, the tuning will be imense and it'll be next to a perfect daily
is this the same place where reviewed the 5 series.?
Yes! Well recognised, the original launch of the 5 Series
I think you should wait for an inmate but you should get one of the two because yes you love them
Also does the windcreener washer not work? Loved looking at that fly squash mark for 10 mins!
No need for me to run the wipers as the driver there was nothing in my eye-line, but like I said I literally had about 30 mins with the car so the last thing on my mind was running indoors to find something to spend 10 of those minutes cleaning it with xD

My dad has ordered one I saw it in real life and it’s awesome

I think u should definitely get one of those beauty😍
at 7:00 that bus was REALLY following you!
This is good choice
Should get it, no doubt
Wait for the new 2020 Porsche 992 that comes out this coming summer.
Fashion Vlog agreed. Saw it at the LA Autoshow least week. So gorgeous on the outside and since they were locked, seemingly on the inside too :)
Nooooo wait for the M8 GTS haha
I did see the M850xi in person though. Blue with all black trim accents and wheels and I gotta say, I can’t believe the M8 can look any better

at last bmw is returning to make butiful cars love it
I think you should have a Prius in your garage, just for the sake of variety.
Yes , but get one in back over black. Looks mean!
yep i think you should actually buy it, its a great package in my opinion
Definitely consider one and then upgrade to an M8/M8 Competition a year later!!
Very stylish package and defo pick the petrol over the diesel for that v8 rumble! I wonder how long it will be for the UK to start diesel ban in big cities?
Absolutely you should...I already said then when you handed back the M5 (on that video) that your next daily should be the BMW M850i
I would also consider the new M8 as well.
You like comfort and power Tim so this 850i would be a fun Euro Cruiser. Did you notice you were slowing the tour bus down in the beautiful countryside of Spain??? What could Dinan do with this powerplant??
great review shmee.just wondering im thinking about getting a 2019 s63 coupe. just wondering is this better in your opinion?
cheers
Yes, get it! Don't wait for the M8, may be a while. If you like the m850i, you know that you will be upgrading to the M8 in the future
As an all rounder for Europe u should also consider the amg gt 63 s, practical, powerful, aggressive looks
A wide body kit and a ducktail/lip spoiler would make the car look lit! Not that it already isn't...
Of course it's the sexiest car of 2018
But I would wait for the M8 gran coupe to come out it looks even better imo
What about s class coupe? Im curious what you gonna say comparing those two!
The Beauty & The Beast ! (M850i)
That would be an amazing daily as a grand tourer
I have to say I dont much like BMWs, but the 8 series is an exception. I certainly think it would be a good addition to the garage.
how about an alpina ? It seems like it will suits you well !
Alpina will be allowed to tune the diesel 8 series. Should be coming soon, just before the M8 by M Division gets released.
Yes. Get one
Hi shmee. I think the bmw m850i would be a perfect daily driver on the shmee fleet. Also are u going to take delivery of a new Mercedes amp g63. That would male some awsome video ideas like you could go off-roading in the g63
