This is the BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupé!
This colossal car is the widest car BMW produces (yes, wider than an X7!), and it’s powered by an equally large engine, with a 4.4-litre V8 packed under the bonnet to produce 625hp!
So when it comes to look, there’s no denying that it’s absolutely breathtaking. But when you consider that the M8 Gran Coupe starts from £120,000, do you really need to pay so much just for the additional doors and back seat space? Especially when you can pick up an M850i for just over £82,000! Stick with Mat for his latest in-depth review to find out!

Yes! 😂
fucking nailed it bro
Matt: designs own car
Also Matt: that brings me to 5 annoying things about this car
xdd
As the owner of a M8 GC and mom of 3 kids I am loving this car in every way. So functional for my family and an absolute beast on the road. Previous M6 owner and this thing is on another level for daily driving. Comfort, functionality and sport performance all in one. The AWD makes all the difference. I absolutely love it!
What’s the comfort like? Mat didn’t describe it as comfortable but i’m just wondering whether it’s good enough for me at least
What’s petrol consumption?
@@deniska91491 Stop watching car videos pls
@@reuben82726 why
@@deniska91491 How are you gonna watch car videos and not know what petrol consumption means
Should I buy this or a grey import Nissan Cube with 180,000 miles on the clock?
Buy the nissan bumper car. Hitting a wall makes it go up in value.
You should definitely buy the cube, the M8 will depreciate over the years, the cube won't lose a single penny, cause it's not even worth one
Hell yeah
I'd get the Cube. The BMW has ugly rims.
The Nissan Cube because Nissan spent millions on getting the best body for aerodynamics.
Thats the most beautiful modern BMW, I'll tell ya that.
Yup
Thats a Coupé
Yeah love it🤩
The best in their current design lineup I might add.
BMW Mustang
the laser eyes i am crying lmao
0-60 in 3 seconds and 1/4 mile in 10.9 seconds. This car is bonkus fast for being a four door vehicle. You nailed it BMW.❤️

Although BMW does some aweful things lately. But with this design, BMW ABSOLUTLY NAILED IT! The side view has almost a sort of ‘Italian’ and/or ‘Maserati’ design vibe.. Very tasteful! 👌🏼
3 series is absolutely perfect, 5 series is gorgeous, 7 series accept the grill is great, and 2 series 2 coupe is legendary now. Also they are not my coup of tea, but they have some nice SUV, X1, X2, X3 and especially X5.

16:42 The Ford: makes room for Matt in the parking space. Forced to awkwardly jerk its way out.
Matt after 2 seconds: let’s get out of here (pops up in the Ford’s rear-view mirror
The Ford driver went in the car like minutes earlier, took him ages to pull off. The "fanboy" that was still talking to Matt, while Ford driver was already inside his car, was faster to pull off with his Fiat. Ford drivers....smh
The Ford driver later became a supervillain
Perfect timing as I was about to take a sh*t !
Nice, i should also take one
I tought you will say you just won the lottery.
I‘m taking a shit right now
Taking one now, it's been a good session so far lol

Next time Drag race : M8 GC vs GT 63 s
M8 will beat GT63
(if it's not sponsored by Mercedes of course, like this one)
M8 would win yes... But stock is boring. I want to see that beast with a stage 2
BMW M8 GRAN COUPE FTW✨💙♥️✨
It will be the most viewed carwow video
@Otto Mulari Still M8 is faster.
I drove this last night and man let me tell you it was the best dream ever
Lmao 😂
Nice dream mate...😆
Looks so much better than the regular m8. I´m not that big of a fan of the exterior look, especially the back of the m8. This one looks awesome from every angle, in my opinion. Love it.
Saw one on the road, and it’s a GORGEOUS car!
I lost it when he said “das ist gut yeeah” 😂😂 at 5:13
@8dzenja6 it's the squeaky German don accent

Bcoz bmws are crap

@@Thatit777 on Cars and Bids
You’ll be dead by then and won’t be able to by it still, hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣!
Likely the best looking modern car bmw has produced. Insane performance too. The RS7 I felt has always been king in this segment but m8 4 door gives it a serous run for its money.
Stop. Lol RS7 has never been king of anything.
The RS7 looks like a banana 😂
I’m waiting for him to say the intro like this: “this is the new BMW M8 Gran coupe and YOU can’t afford it
He will never do that
Sounds like doug..
Well, Yanni does watch this channel so...
I actually think he's had a title like that before for one of the luxury cars. You'd have to scroll back and check, but I'm 80% sure.
Can we please have a drag race between the Mercedes GT 4 door, the BMW M8 Gran coupe competition, the Audi RS7 and the Porsche Panamera Turbo S.
Ik the AMG is faster than the Audi and Porsche but not sure about the bmw
There is a video: m8 vs gt4dr vs Teslax vs panamera (?) I guess
@@firatsapul8029 but its not the gc
Das Imperium spritzt zurück BMW does not smoke amg in times. Some models are faster than others. The m8 has a faster 1/4 by a tiny bit but the Mercedes is faster to 60 in 2.9 seconds
Das Imperium spritzt zurück “buddy” look up the amg gt4 door (the one mentioned here) it does 2.9 seconds according to Car and driver. Which is a reliable source. Soo do better researching
Always love when they show carseats fitting!
This blows away the Mercedes. This thing is amazing.
Here it is! Another BMW fanboy/girl. Yea… this message is 🧢🧢

Probably then sat up the guys arse too like any good bm driver 😂

Just had a drive of a friend’s M8. Unbelievably fast, but supremely comfortable too.

There is nothing funny about Matt Watson..that's the reason BMW voice control doesn't work ...The annoying awful Brummie accent..I can only watch these videos on subtitles so I don't have to here it..and Stop keep jabbing things like your trying to brake it...and throwing parcel shelves in the bushes...oh and your not funny....
Everyone: BMW M8
Aussies: BMW, Mate!
xD
I can’t honestly believe I raced the m8 (not comp) version of this, and my 03 e55 with decent amount of mods (didn’t dyno yet but aprox. 600 crank), pulled on it until those turbos spooled and started to pass me, still shocked me as I wasn’t expecting to do that well considering new vs old engineering. Just comes to show older cars still do amazing today.
Power is power, doesn't matter if it's from the 60s or from last week, Physics hasn't changed.
You're a funny Britt ese ! "Frameless windows " scene killed it.
The color of this car is amazing!

yeah same here
@@itu936 lol
Me too lmao
I've watched this a couple of times but whenever Mat does the German accent I can't help but to laugh out loud
First time I saw this in traffic I was suprised at how both big and sporty looking it was. Truly a beast.
13:06 0-60 in 3.00
I think if you warm the tyres and hold the boost little bit longer, it could do under 3 second dead
Yes it can do in 2.9 i think
The M5 competition with proper tyres gives constistent sub-3s times. I'd say very doable.
BMW's best looking car right now.
also, color grading is a little too dark on the contrast (outdoor shots). Colors spot on though!
Name of the color?
Camera work was awful in this
After new 4 series
This colour is beautiful 😍
BMW IS TRASH , BEST LOOKING CAR IS BIG TALK LOL
I'm here watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲 love this beautiful car
Matt is the ONLY car reviewer that’s funny and I enjoy watching.
At 6:38 When you said 'Hey Google' the app activated on MY phone 😂
Lol
Lying dog faced pony soldier
Same here
Have seen a few of these in west London... absolute stunners. It’s the first four door in a while that turns heads like a sports car would.
The previous 6 Series Grand Coupe was just as stunning and way way cheaper. This is such a dick move from BMW
When youre paying as much as a sports car I would hope so
@@kenim Nope really its really good car and better than its competitors 3.0 0-100 its just amazing for this 4 door car
You really got me laughing at 12:00 with the laser sounds 😂😂😂! Nice review Mat
I think it's the most beautiful car in the world right now. The extra length and doors over the M8 just looks epic.
No the best looking car in the world right now is the ferrari enzo lol
Mat always mention the brand of his phone....everytime
Because not everyone is Apple fanboy LOL
Nikho Prasetyo Pratama he is a android fanboy tho

because it's the best! and it is for normal people and not for zombies!) That is the reality!) Sorry 🍏 fan))

Great job Bimmer 👍🏻
I just love the spec of this M8 comp gc this is gorgeous. It would be option 3 I think. All black everything then the green and tan interior.
I would still get the m5 comp
That color is hypnotic omg, this entire spec is insane, love the wheels.. Great Review 👏🏾👌🏾👏🏾✊🏾
“Avoid it”? Bet BMW are glad they lent you that car to review.
Yeah because he recommended another BMW they won't really mind (anyway he said consider it right after that).
No one who watches this video can afford it and the main target are rich Russians probably lmao. The m850i is the reasonable choice
lol, I literally just purchased a 2017 c43 sedan, well equipped with Premium Package 3, Performance Exhaust, Designo Interior and I love it so far! Have allot of mods planned for it, but was so happy when you guys were let’s just say it... c43 - well sort of haha!
5:14 „das ist gut ja“ haha nice 😅😂
5:12 that Deutsch though!! It killed me 🤣🤣
German
BMW M8 Gran Coupé... I love this car
Absolutely stunning car and colour
This is by far, my favorite looking new BMW. And that colour is so exquisite.
Mat: I like the fact you’ve got an electrically controlled steering climb.
1990 Lexus LS: first time?
Also the hidden gps/radio antennae, my Lexus GS had no shark fin already back in 2007 (the antennae were hidden in the pillars I think)
That level of knowledge is too high for Matt.
Japanese cars were hiding them back in the 90s. I remember my old Celica not having one
@ hello from 1988 where 5 series e34 had this. And I`m pretty sure they were not the first.
@@val_solooo cool, where did they hide the GPS antenna in 1988?

UA-cam: dEmOnEtIzEd!!!
🤣
@@everburn Yep 😂
I have used M5 in a frozen color that I love, but this new M8 Grande Coupe may get me to upgrade. Especially, if I can get it in a frozen color. Yes, it is quite a bit more expensive than a new M5, but I think the styling is a lot better in the M8 GC.
That color is stunning
18:15- Smooth when you need it to be , fast and fun when you are in the mood
That sounded interesting Mat !
Last time I came this early my girl left me
😂😂😂😂😂
Nice reviews ✌🏼✌🏼. This guy is good.
Matt gets more adorkable the more I watch his car reviews 😁
I love how the Germans always make a 4 door version of a two door version, of one of its 4 door car 😂
The Queen's Half Corgi like a4->a5->a5 sportback ?
Yup I agree 🤣🤣. Ridiculous really. Versions of versions of versions
and imo it was "a bad idea", in the sense that it should had remained as a coupe and not get diluted into a 4-door, and essentialy barge into 7 and 6series territory
Such a great looking Mustang!
All jokes, your friends at Rev Media!!
did make me giggle with the lazer light sketch, top quality review as always geeza
Matt’s personality makes him his videos unique
He never fails to make me laugh 😅
I own the 850i GC. The price difference here in The Netherlands between a 850i GC and a M8 GC was just too big. And when I ordered the 850i GC you could not even order a M8 yet. But this M8 should drive superb!
I’m no Bimmer boy but this car is amazing in every way. Does justice to the legendary 8 series of the 1990’s
Yesss daaaam. Im not bmw fan but this car is AMAZING ! ABSOLUTLY amazing.
it's Beemer Seemer
The 1989 8 Series is nice. New one too
@@joecostner2608 depends on where you’re at, and I like saying bimmer.
@@bastionbooger the new 8 series as amazing as it is still didn’t live up to the marvel that is the original. That car is one of the coolest vehicles ever made, the only flaw is that the M version never got into serial production.
Looks stunning and the GRILL has been improved by far, that original BMW GRILL. Great.👍🖐🏆🏁
Really nice review I can't skip 0.1sec also in the video only the lucky one can get a ride in this car really #1
Awesome car, I can wait five years when it depreciates by 50 percent.
@Sam Jones hahaha
The only reason why I’m not considering the BMWs is their shit interior design. They need to step up look at the new S-Class.
What if you die before 2025?
And it's still expensive,for me anyway
@@jawad9971 I agree the performance and exterior looks amazing but Mercedes interior is the best out of the big german three and it’s not even close. S-Class makes me feel like i’m in a 5 star dentist’s office
i died at 11:56 and to top all this, the star wars music in the background. lmaoo
It's a "Beam"er
5:14 you caught me off guard with the "das ist gut"😂😂😂
I like Matt,he telling us also bad points..very honest
The style of the 8 series has really grown on me - especially the Gran Coupe!
11:56. That was a good one. Best car reviewer ever
What a beautiful and stunning vehicle. wreaks elegance in its design and that gorgeous burgundy exterior. I love the big bodied luxury vehicles. they have such a presence on thre road.
At least the grill looks normal, instantly my favorite current BWM :D
