2020 BMW M8 Competition - POV Review

[@aaaaaaxaaaaaa]

That launch was literally insane. It did it so effortlessly

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

I think the M8 Competition has the best launch control of any BMW, that's just me. It's really good.

[@dmitry8340]

Maaaaaaan, the way this thing goes 100mph is something. It feels like 20mph inside... terrifying Wolf in the sheep's clothing - M8

I think this might be one of the cars in my perfect two car garage. It’s truly a jack of all trades. Other car would probably be a half ton truck or body on frame suv to tow a boat and haul family.

Personally, I’d love to see the 8 Series get the Alpina treatment. I feel like that would be better suited to the overall GT nature of this car...

[@weirdshibainu]

I agree. Would like to see it in either the Alpina Green or Blue with the classic wheels.

Hey man, it's been two years since I started watching your videos, i just realized you are the same guy in Winding Magazine. I love watching your videos they are kinda therapeutic. I saw the video where you talked about how you started, i really appreciate that. Take care of yourself.

[@evanstroh4586]

The way you can get to 90 mph no problem is pretty scary haha

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

BMW’s shift programming for that ZF 8-speed is perfect. The fact they make it feel almost like a dual clutch transmission is just insane.

[@fuffthebucks7266]

the brown panel on the door looks terrible with the green exterior imo

[@LoverBoyLensky]

I disagree. It looks really nice. It just depends on the person. The brown makes it stand out more

[@bim1376]

Classy spec

[@tobias_k01]

Probably it does not perfectly show in this video, but it actually is more like a bright yellow tone. But yes, it's not what everyone would like, but I think it's quite cool

[@faeinthebay]

Yeah, the interior and exterior clash. I assume you can spec then better if you ordered one yourself.

Never clicked so fast on notification. BMW M - Magic

[@gitaarmovies2003]

In the end it’s personal preference. I personally think that BMW has always focussed on the driver and driving experience and still does now, compared to mercedes and audi. There are just the little things like the center console being angled towards the driver that make the driving experience better than in a merc or audi IMO.

[@Sikh1.5Accord]

That interior spec is so gorgeous 🔥🔥

[@jeebus2121]

You can get five year state registrations there? [The 11/24 sticker in the windshield] Also, BMW has always struggled in this price bracket--their cars are simply not special enough to command nearly anything about about $120k. The car is nearly $70k more than an M5 but barely faster, with less interior room, and a near-identical interior. If anyone wants one, just wait a few years because they will probably depreciate at a stupefying rate.

[@BeanieNinjay0]

This car is a beast no doubt. But as the highest number M car you can buy, it doesn’t really seem to have anything special about it. This thing could easily be mistaken for a regular 8 series unless you opt for a flashy color like this. The engine is the same TT V8 we’ve seen in every other M car above the M4....would’ve loved to see the V12 make into this car along with similar body treatment like the M2/3/4’s.

[@MrCarGuy]

This is easily explained. The car was designed to be a 6. Their "brilliant" marketing decision to name it an 8 followed later.

[@DingasPro]

Wow. The way this responds to the upshifts, very quick and positive. Damn.

Hey! I see your a fellow watch guy too! I'm guessing you are wearing an Omega speedmaster in this video, I've also seen you wearing an Orient Bambino which is really cool. Good choice and keep up the good work!

[@DingasPro]

Let the monster wake up. Out of all German car manufacturers, these M-Powered BMW vehicles have a very good resale value. That's something to think about when buying these. I also think majority of viewers of this channel don't have the money to buy this thing.

[@Montana270]

Thank you for such great reviews

[@thrillhouse8787]

06:42 0-60 in 2.5 seconds? That seems incorrect. I've read more like 3.2, and that definitely didn't look like 2.5 in the video.

[@thrillhouse8787]

@Budweiser driver They're sweet, no doubt! 3.2~ is still nuts!

[@B3N_25]

It’s 0-60 in 3 seconds, but with a slow rolling start it does 2.5

[@noorkashif9107]

when he says third fiddle makes no sense, porsche sure. But what does mercedes’ make that compares to this. GT 63? Which costs at least 10-20k. For 10-20 K the amg gt 63 is slower than the m8 comp, doesn’t look as good (my opinion), Interior doesn’t look as good. So where does this play third fiddle?? Porsche is another beast i’ll admit but amg doesn’t really make anything like this lol

[@joshbredael3702]

You're also paying WAY more money for the M8 than dodge products

[@D1man1525]

kevin ortiz aint no hellcat as fast as this in a 1/4 mile, only the Demon. Dodge public under 11s 1/4 miles but in reality they are mid to high 11 second cars. This will do 10.8 all day long
