Depends where one lives but convertible for me. Stunning car, not so sure about the interior looking similar to the lower models taking into account its cost, should stand out more and have a special feel.
If people want a proper M car they should have an M2 or M3. M8 is a good car but it's far too expensive for the performance. Too heavy a focus on luxury means you lose out on some of the sharpness in how it drives
@@supaahflyy even if it has the numbers on paper it's still a really heavy car. The M badge really means Marketing these days and not Motorsport like it used to. If cars like the M8 (which IMO should have a V12) are what BMW wants to be the face of the M brand great for them but they lost me a few years back.
Agreed. The 2 and 3 Series deserve a serious "clapped-out edition," with fatty turbo setup pushing high boost and big horsepower numbers. Like when they put the E30 M12 engine in F1. 🤓
I think the BMW people did the right thing. The majority of M8 owners will feel this is plenty for them, and If you want bonkers, there’s options... for sound, get an exhaust. For dynamics, get more agressive wheels and tires and if you want stupid fast, get a remap. Simple!
You are probably like me who wished BMW did not kill 6 series but instead made it as a tweener between the 3/4 series and the 7/8 series. With a medium sized lighter chassis, a detuned twin turbo v8 at about 550-560bhp (580 for competition) and all wheel drive, they could have a winner 👌🏻
It was a bit strange Paul Woodham complaining abut the M8's engine not being 'shouty' enough, when his voice was being drowned out by the engine noise!
Great review, couldn't agree more with the verdict. Just think of the 992 you could have for £123k!. BMW have gone a little soft, there's no getting away from it. M2 Competition is the only real contender in the line up for me.
Nice car, but the sound though 😭😭 bring back the right sound BMW, please!!!!! The last Great sound and probably the best, the V10 sound, and the straight 6 sound😎
Correction, fastest BMW ever with the M5 competition. Edit: The M5 competition is 625 hp aswell, I dont know where you got that stat that the M8 competition is 8 hp more then the M5 competition they are the same. I would get the M5 competition, the M5 has just as much quality if you get the individual leather, just as much tech, but also more luxurious like massage seats in the M5, that you can't get in the M8. Its also more spaceous and like I mentioned just as fast.
I just purchased m8 competition convertible. My prior car was an amazing, beautiful E63s. Before this, I’ve owned BMW....Including 2018 M5. I’ve NEVER a gotten so much attention over a car.....and it so fun to drive

Great video. I do like this car but way to refined. A screaming old skool BMW M6 V10, decat, resonator delete booom!! One in good condition smashes this M8 and you can easily get that M6 tuned to 625BHP and no turbo!!!
To my eyes this car is pretty damn ugly, too big, and far too expensive. I’d go for an AMG GT over this every single time, if I were looking for something in this segment.
Would you go for the coupe or convertible?
Depends where one lives but convertible for me. Stunning car, not so sure about the interior looking similar to the lower models taking into account its cost, should stand out more and have a special feel.
Coupe anyday. If I want the wind in my hair and sun in my face I'll pull over and get out. Lol both are beatiful cars though
Is this wind barrier in the back stock or u fitted it? It not only looks ridiculous but makes the rear seats unusable..
Yes😉
nie wissen hahaha! Good point 😂
We need more of Tiff he's been absent too long
There are some videos with him coming very soon 🙂
@@lovecarsTV phew 😜
Inderjit Singh hahaha! Don’t panic 😜
your SPot On TIff IS The Man , fully SPeaKIn2 hIm In 2O15
The exhaust issue due to new European regs
I do think the 8 series is a gorgeous vehicle
It is stunning!
No Seasoning I think it’s better than anything BMW series
Still not even close to Mercedes-AMG S coupe...
Can't take away from the fact it's a heavy car. What if they build a CSL version & strip the hell out of it. Maybe that makes a lot more sense.
That would be interesting!
A CSL version of any of the range would always be interesting to us 👍🏻
@@lovecarsTV A CS is rumoured I believe and I can see why :)
I love this car it’s my favorite BMW it’s a touring car but if you upgrade the exhaust with aftermarket and you will get the animal you looking for
Sounds like a project!
If people want a proper M car they should have an M2 or M3. M8 is a good car but it's far too expensive for the performance. Too heavy a focus on luxury means you lose out on some of the sharpness in how it drives
Some very valid points 👍🏻

Beautiful cars!! But I agree, anything with the "m" badge should be more exciting to drive
Exciting to drive isn't a thing in 4400 lb GT. The reviewer should know better.
@J B There's levels to this. Exciting is relative.
Great video and a great car 👍
Thank you 🙏
Won’t be rushing out to buy one..

We are certainly spoilt for choice when it comes to modifying most cars! Thanks for watching 🙂
Lovecars yeah, exiting times for sure. Thanks for putting out great content!
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment 😊
M8 is a GT car. Still faster than all its rivals!
If you want some sportier models and track fun, M2 CS and M4 CS is the answer from the BMW range ✌
Berca Vlad the M4 GTS as well
i think i have seen enough reviews on this car. I’m so dying to see it in a drag race, especially against an M5 Comp and GT63s. Great review though🙌🏽
You are probably like me who wished BMW did not kill 6 series but instead made it as a tweener between the 3/4 series and the 7/8 series. With a medium sized lighter chassis, a detuned twin turbo v8 at about 550-560bhp (580 for competition) and all wheel drive, they could have a winner 👌🏻
Enjoyed that Paul. Keep up the good work
Thanks for watching 🙂
Totally agree with Paul's assessment... it's not necessary to put an M badge on everything but if you do, do it in the true spirit of Motorsport cars.
It was a bit strange Paul Woodham complaining abut the M8's engine not being 'shouty' enough, when his voice was being drowned out by the engine noise!
Great video
I'm still waiting for the review for Noble M600
Thank you very much
And Noble video would be a great idea
modern era is about talking about feel and connectedness with an automatic
🥲🥲😔
“I want it sound like an absolute monster!”
Get back in an E60 M5. Thank me later.
I fucking love this car
It is very nice 👌🏻
Great review, couldn't agree more with the verdict. Just think of the 992 you could have for £123k!.
BMW have gone a little soft, there's no getting away from it. M2 Competition is the only real contender in the line up for me.
Thank you, we do love the M2 Competition!
Hey Paul,can you keep Tiff full time? He is a gem to be honest and what fifth gear did to him was a shame
We are doing lots with Tiff 🙂
Nice car but I think I would prefer the regular 8 series.
Nice car, but the sound though 😭😭 bring back the right sound BMW, please!!!!! The last Great sound and probably the best, the V10 sound, and the straight 6 sound😎
That V10 and straight 6 sound is legendary 😁👌
Bravisimo! Love the honesty. UA-cam car vloggers take note.
Good to see you on here! Hope to see you in the uk soon too!! 🤘
And there I was thinking there was a competition to win a beemer 😢
Haha sorry!

Correct same hp, for me as well the M5 Competition.
Good review. Btw you forgot to add the "reversing assistant" link to the video
Thank you very much, now updated!
Finally! 😍 What a wait! As if I was waiting for my ordee to arrive!😋
Do you like it?!
@@lovecarsTV give me a reason to not like it? 😍
I agree with you, it would be much much more terrifying to drive it, then it would be more fun to drive every day.
😁👌

Lies
Needs an exhaust
Yes
Yes
Photos and videos does not show the beauty of this car
It is very nice in person!
It felt more of a GT than a Sports car?? Of course it did, because it's a GT, anyway, great review...
For some reason the gold Submariner catches my eye more than the car. Could be just me...
Old is gold. Wedding present from a very nice friend!
Amazing
Glad you like it!

Love the video! But hey, the power comment is not accurate. The M5C and M8C have the same power output.
this car sounds a hundred times better with a catless exhaust there is a video of one going around goodwood, but stock sounds like a ford focus
With tighter emission regulations, this is a similar fate to a lot of newer cars these days.
@@lovecarsTV good review m8
man, this car and the BMW M5 Comp both have the same hoursepower number 625 BHP
*617 BHP*
The newer bimmers are like Honda accords now.. Everybody's got one.. See them at every stop light
Did you star in Allo Allo by any chance?
Not the m8
Does anyone else think it looks like the current Ford Mustang?
If you squint really hard 😂
Capt Hook it’s only insulting if you sent 5 times the money, only to have your neighbour think it’s a Ford.
Not sure if it is just the video, but it sounds (dare I say it) a bit like a 4 cylinder...
oh yes gentlemen now we're talking. those spanish roads! good lord..
Stunning roads
@@lovecarsTV i watched the other youtubers videos you were away with that day and your review was by far the best. fabulous!
Aligator Sky that’s lovely to hear!! Henry from Carfection nailed his review. We really enjoyed that one. But so happy to receive your feedback!!
👍 for the car. 👎 For your review🤔
Stone Henges fair enough. Thanks for your honesty. How could we improve?
@@lovecarsTV Actually review was ok. Personally just didn't like the message: "not M enough".. I just prefer GT over dragster🤔 Keep reviewing though👍
Thanks for taking the time to message us. We want to improve so always useful to get feedback.
More Tiff please
Tiff video this Sunday @ 18:00 GMT. And it’s a goodun’!!
So is this the fastest review of a bmw ever or a review of the fastest bmw ever? \o/ :D
Haha 😂
The ultimate Chest Wig Chariot.
Buy a 240i and have more fun for a LOT less money
So cars never lock doors when driven by car journalists?
u.s spec cars are louder than euro spec i think
The Monk sounds good (excuse the pun!)
Performance
He’s right about the sound 😔
Well fastest ever! With the M5 competition.
If you want loud and mental, get an Aston.
Take a look at our Vantage vs DB11 review and let us know which one you prefer 👍🏻
Why didn’t you mention the top speed? After all it was the fastest bmw? Bmw Alpina b7 2020 does 205mph and this only a crummier 190mph
2:23 then buy a M5
Ok! 👌
This KILLS the gt500
Bmw bestttttttt
European Mustang
Stop talking to a camera and driving at the same time. Dangerous and irresponsible ?
Fastest production bmw
GTR killer
Lambo killer too
I would take an Audi rs6 over this and save 30k.
This car most likely looks better in person but it seems very boring to drive.
It does look great in person!
This video is boring without Tiff.
still looks like a german mustang
Which you will never own XDDD
Yeah I’m not too hot on it.
To my eyes this car is pretty damn ugly, too big, and far too expensive. I’d go for an AMG GT over this every single time, if I were looking for something in this segment.
your not bad but your not neutral in your review its too much about you all the time we need a neutral reviewer
Looks weak disappointed and so I agree what u say it need more balls like mine.
I like my mum your not my mum.
You would be foolish to buy the m8 over the Mercedes s63 AMG coupe
It's a BOAT.

Like all current BMWs, the styling is a mess. That grille is a joke.
gad gup thought the looks were quite nice! 👍
@@lovecarsTV nice isn't good enough, it needs to be inspiring and exciting but this looks completely underwhelming and almost bland.
