BMW M8 Competition Review! Why the Most Powerful M is better than the M5!

[@RemoveBeforeRace]

I thought I’d leave disappointed: but the Powerful M8 is SERIOUSLY impressive. I’d say it’s an exhaust mod away from being the second best M car ; top spot belongs to the M2 in all it’s iterations. 😈 NEXT? I’ve got a special preview of a new M5 model in late January... subscribe 👀

[@kamallica]

This is factually incorrect - the M5 comp has the same power and weighs less. The 2021 LCI I also has improved handling taken from the M8. Having two children I can't see how the M8 is better - if I was in my 20's or 50's (when my kids would have their own cars) then maybe the M8 would be a better proposition.

[@kamallica]

@Ross Yeh agreed - M8 is beautiful but wasn't a practical option for me. However my point about the horsepower and weight remains - 2021 M5 has 625BHP and weighs less so not sure what 'extra power' this chap was feeling.

[@jamisonz3365]

@Mehdi Mohamed Savagegeese is good at analyzing cars in mechanical details and also the video quality is top level. But sometimes he is too narrow minded. He likes to hate a lot of cars instead of appreciating them. For example he doesn't like many high horsepower cars because he thinks it's too much for daily. Also he doesn't like literally all high performance SUVs which a lot of people love them even more than pure track machines and many thing else. I really can't stand those salty BS.

[@ashmostro]

Great review! As an LCI M5 owner, I almost bought an M8GC instead but couldn’t justify the cost increase for essentially just the looks improvement. Everything else is the same (and with a smaller nav screen on the M8!). As for the reduced pops and bangs, did you drive with the exhaust mode button next to the shifter on and off to compare? Note this is NOT the same as the M1/2 button and can operate independently of engine mode setting. With the exhaust button off (not lit), you get no pops and bangs.

[@MMAFan20]

If it's not a mini copper I'll pas son the pops and bang. I buy this to goto some high end places where pops and bangs would just look ridiculous if I pulled up. Don't need pops and bangs when I goto the gym or the grocery store which is mostly what buyers of this car will use it for. Wish the looks were a bit more aggressive but I have a hard time passing on an 8 series coupe. I pay have to pick this up when it depreciates a bit.

I had the F90 M5 and just sold my 2023 M8 Competition, (bought a 2019 AMG GT R for the track). The M8 was probably my favorite car. I just needed a track car but I did like the. M8 better than the M5. Loved them both, but the bodystyle of the M8 is just so much sleeker and it rides beautifully. But, it is more money and the performance is nearly identical. Frankly, neither one is better, it's very subjective and do you want to pay more for the M8. Have fun, great cars.

Friends dad had an 850ci back in the 90s MAAAAAN we felt like superstars when we rode in that thing!!

[@TonyStark998]

Just took delivery on a 2021 M5c just before Christmas. The M8 GC was the other car I was debating on. Went M5 because the car is being used as a daily and I don’t think the M8 is the better everyday car. The low sitting position, low roof line, long/deep dashboard and long hood are not things I’d want in a everyday car. No doubt the M8 is a better looking more special car but to me it’s not a great everyday car. It’s more of a 2nd car you keep in a garage for nice days but for it’s price (40k over the M5c) Id rather have a better sports car in my garage. For 150-160k I’ll gladly wait for a 992 turbo s to drop down to the price of a new M8. Couple side points. The 2021 M5 comps now have the same suspension as the M8s so the ride comfort should be the same unlike the pre LCI comps that had a firmer suspension. Also the newer m5s have the same new version ZF trans that’s in the M8 and same transmission software too so any M8 vs M5 speed comparisons done with a earlier version M5 wouldn’t be a good comparison.

[@CR-xv8wm]

We rented a convertible m8 comp coupe on a recent trip. Unbelievable car, acceleration is very impressive. The car we rented had steel brakes. I’d opt for the carbon ceramics, this car reaches triple digit speeds quickly and there is a lot of weight to slow down from those speeds. The steel brakes are barely adequate and the brakes on our car (albeit a rental that I’m sure lived a hard life) were already making a lot of noise with less than 20k miles on the car.
