BMW 8 series | this is the best GT car money can buy

Here I test the BMW 8 Series and find it's brilliant. If you let go of the steering wheel it stops driving, don't try this yourself.

Great video. What an absolute stunner of a car. The interior looks amazing and I love the colour of the leather. Awesome.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Thanks Fraser!

[@Ash-le4pw]

Finally someone who shares some practical details about having kids in the back seats! Thank you!

[@matrixsenior]

Love the channel Bob. I agree about the connectivity being buggy. I don't use Android auto anymore. You can use Spotify without your phone, direct through the cars WiFi and the sound quality is better than when you use your phone too

[@AC-dv1qz]

Can’t wait till mine arrives 🔥🔥

[@joefattal7592]

Great vid as always , it’s taken me a while to warm to this 8. However I’m appreciating it more and more.

[@delboy2596]

Excellent review Mr Flavin. Very informative

[@niallmchugh1277]

It's some machine, really impressive in the metal too, thanks for the quick tour on Sunday!

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Glad you enjoyed it Niall, great to meet you!

[@johnbit6527]

... excellent review Bob ... like it a lot - beautiful car...

[@ertugrulbae46]

I love the 8 series design. By far the best from BMW. But the 6 series was amazing too

[@korbin70x75]

Brilliant review as always my friend thank you

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@izuaff04]

wow.. heaping praise...

[@raymck2115]

so need to drive one, never mind owning one

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Make it your business to have a go in one

[@stephenmcsorley1411]

Magnificent car, looks like the 6 series grand coupe on the inside. How does it compare driving wise to the 6 series grand coupe Bob?

[@richardsmith9509]

Great video, but its HONESLY time for a visit to the orthodontist....SOON !!!!!!!!

[@and1111000]

Looks like the car you had on Sunday Bob. A lovely car.

[@iantownsend500]

Beautiful car

[@ericrochford3134]

Beautiful looking machine although I’d find that interior colour hard to live with! Very in depth review.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Still about 50/50 on the interior colour!

[@Bimmer_e90]

Similar warning system in the VWs to put your hands back on the steering wheel...class car.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

It's the first time I've tested the system to the end result, it's well thought out

[@oluwatoyinthompson8343]

Classy car

[@cmartin_ok]

I'm not a great BMW fan but...... yes please!

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Me too!

[@BestCarSound]

For the money & size, usability - no, but still gorgeous car. The more expensive and faster car you test, we can see you like it more, but keep saying 'No' to film Ferrari's etc :( Would be cool to watch!

[@Tambo74]

Well i know if Bob say's it's really brilliant then it must be, so if i ever come into a lot of money! i know i'll be looking closely at one of these beauties.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Start saving and you can queue up behind me!

[@MiniEggs1999]

Interesting about Apple CarPlay was it any better if you connected with wire ? I have an old iPhone 6 and when I occasionally get a car with CarPlay it freezes sometimes or does not draw the big blue icons at top if screen and puts big blue squares instead

[@nathanvfilms]

I know how much you loved the 6 series. Especially the gran coupe. Design wise I think the 8 can’t hold up with the 6 though. Excited for the 8 GC.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

I have very high hopes for the 8GC, it's going to blow me away or be terrible

[@devilhomer]

How does it compare to the 640d 2 door coupe Bob?

[@stevenwalshe5606]

You missed the “vrt”...lol...😎🙏👀

[@henryhealy]

The Gran Coupe is to be unveiled in the next few weeks

[@storck08]

What about Continental GT?

[@1petulko]

Now Bob, you should test it against S class coupe.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

I would if Mercedes Ireland would put one on the fleet!

[@als1uk]

A6 Bi-turbo 3.0 far more practical and that interior colour was shocking lol

[@BobFlavinVideo]

It's about 50/50 on the interior colour, I like it but it's a tiny bit on the brown side

[@CiarayBoyDJ]

Very nice looking car. Reliability in mind I wouldn't touch a BMW.. I fix to many of them to frequently!

[@BobFlavinVideo]

I hear that a lot but yet they do well in studies

[@ridewitprince]

Is the noise from the engine or those sweet sounding speakers? lol

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Not all the noise is from the engine, there's a flap opens in the exhaust and it's amplified by the stereo system

[@Arman-nl6mg]

both, and the exhaust. ASD can be easily disabled tho

[@paddydowney6269]

15:55 bob, the sound goes a bit wonky and it sounds like you said it was €133,000 and that it was outstanding value. Suddenly a nearly new 640d gc is the deal of the century!

[@pauldunneska]

No the BMW 640d engines go on fire to easily, look at my channel and you will see the aftermath of a 141D with burnt out engine.

[@hugglescake]

Driving gloves should be a standard feature.

[@vodonnell1]

Wont be selling many at that price.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

It's not far off sold out!

[@vodonnell1]

@@BobFlavinVideo Celtic tiger is back then!!

[@bossadave]

How can they build something so big and still have no space for rear passengers?

[@FredericFreedom]

Exactly 🤣

[@bekabeka71]

It very much look like 6 series coupe

[@stevenbarrett7648]

I really don’t see the point in buying these diesel / petrol cars any more when everyone knows in a few years we will all be driving electric.....just about the time you are looking to off-load your dirty diesel. Maybe lease or contract but not cash, too risky, look at Jaguars, £40,000.00 in 2017, £8,000 in 2019, that’s what I call a financial beating !

[@lmcrodrigues]

Electric cars are not the future. For sure.

[@neilbissett1240]

Too expensive not a bmw man will stick with my skoda superb 2.0 sport line but as ever great review mate

[@Arman-nl6mg]

🤣

[@Arman-nl6mg]

what do you think the price should be then? 🤦‍♂️

[@neilbissett1240]

ArmanE46 guess by your reply your a bmw driver

[@mrsinn2642]

Dreadful colour. Looks like a Peugeot from the outside, Still love it though.

[@NedNew]

6 foot wide? Erm, what? Are we in the good old USA or have we traveled back 30 years in time? Bob, metres please?

[@michaelnikpour3770]

Sorry way 0ver-rated. Ill take the AMG Roadster any day. The side view of this car looks like a mustang. Too many variations of the same car. 9 to be exact. Just my opinion

[@elcartero6897]

Prefer mercedes myself

[@eecak1973]

Looks a bit cramped and the centre display is cheap looking.
