Love these proper detailed reviews Paul; just one thing i noticed over the last few reviews - almost every time you realise the auto gearbox is a normal, torque-converter type, you seem to be relieved that it's not a double-clutch type, any reason behind this?

@CarExpertAus 4 жыл бұрын

Yes 😁 I’m not really a fan of dual clutch gearboxes unless they’re in a sporty car. The gearbox in the M8 is actually perfectly suited to the car. I can’t stand entry-level hatchbacks fitted with complex dual clutch gearboxes for fuel saving as opposed to performance.

The M8 especially the comp version was a failed model- they should have done everything imaginable to reduce the weight, to get it closer to m4 weight to properly compete with Porsche. Not sure what they were thinking so totally agree the m850i is the right one to get.

Nice review Paul. And nice car. For competition, you list the Audi R8 V10+, Mercedes AMG GT, and Porsche 911. Also the Aston Martin DB11. I think BMW has a "problem" at this price point. Given the money, would someone buy this M8 over a DB11? Aston Martin vs BMW? Maybe the problem with this car is that it is kind of an M5 underneath (at about $100k less), whereas the options you listed (R8, AMG GT, etc.) are cars designed for this price point. Or would you choose a Carrera 4S and pocket the $50k? Is the M8 is one of the best looking cars in this segment? I think it looks better than the AMG GT, but is nowhere near as good looking as the R8 or the DB11.

@CarExpertAus 4 жыл бұрын

The DB11 is a great car, but it’s let down by a lack of practicality and a two generation old Mercedes-Benz infotainment system. You can’t beat the design though, it’s bloody stunning!

Is the suspension in comfort mode that uncomfortable? of course it is not a 750Li air suspension, but cant the M8 competition, be used in comfort setting for the suspension as a daily driver car?

@CarExpertAus 4 жыл бұрын

It's not uncomfortable, it's just a little too firm. The way I see it, if this was a sportier car that competed with the 911 directly it would make sense that it's firm. But it should be more of a GT. But at the end of the day, I think buyers that look for the Competition version will be willing to sacrifice some comfort for the level of sportiness on offer.

@septimiuT9 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the answer. I have no experience with 911, but I have some with 2018 Panamera and 2018 Audi RS4. RS4 was way too firm for my taste; RS4 is a small car, not very wide and not too long, compared with M8 competition and having the DRC on RS4 made that car feel very uncomfortable to be driven day by day. I think you have driven the RS4 2018 with DRC. Compared to that how is M8 competition? Thank you.

@edgarchieng2130 4 жыл бұрын

Amazing car, BMW definitely has its performance powertrain packaging and formula right. But for the price, you have to be a hardcore BMW fan to buy one over the more tempting Porsche. With the new BMW cars equipped with the ZF8HP gearbox, to properly launch the car, hold on to the brakes just a tad longer after the Launch Control is activated (maybe a second or two more max) and it will go even harder.

The problem is it won’t hold itself on the spot. You can actually see in one of the launches the rear wheels start spinning, which causes the timer to start. The unprepared surface at the drag strip is a little tricky to contend with!
