BMW M850i review - see why my NEW 8 Series is the ultimate GT car!

[@i7rs]

Yes!

[@Kyros9119]

@Giga Muhammad we actually use litres per 100 kms. Which makes it 6.7 lt/100km Edit: people have correctly pointed out that its probably UK gallons making it 8.07 lt/100 kms

[@GarryMcGovern]

@@Loachie90 How is it American, when it is English? It's an English channel reviewing cars in England - MPG is what we use here (why would you call it 'American'?)

[@CasTeTuS]

OK. For everyone that wondering: 840d = 5.3 l/100km M850i = 8.6 l/100km

[@heroicsss]

I think he is using british MPG, so this is not correct. 840d = ~6.4 l/100km M850i = ~10.4 l/100km

[@zanthony1286]

he trashed the M850i hence high mileage

[@JP-js8jr]

Wtf my 1.8 litre merc consumes 10,5 L

[@M_773]

10.4 is still very impressive for a V8. My 2017 Acura MDX never got close to that!

[@littletraveller5428]

Can’t be 5.3 that’s almost 20 km per liter. That would make over 50 miles per gallon. Actually you’re not far off it’s around 6.5 but I didn’t use decimal places

[@Random-nf7qb]

@@gabutman6144 No,it won't. The 860 is gonna be the luxurious GT and the M8 - the sporty GT. V12 is more refined, but heavier, which won't be good for handling. V8 can be tuned more and is lighter, so about the same speed, but one is more refined, the other is better handling.

If you pay extra for flexiplus you can get on an earlier train if there's space available, have access to the flexiplus lounge etc, think of it like a business class ticket for a flight instead of economy

Top tip for French motorway fuel stops - don't use service stations, they are so expensive for fuel. When you need to get fuel pile off the motorway into a local town and you will always find a supermarket, Carrefour, Intermarche etc., with a fuel station. These places are up to 20% cheaper than motorway fuel and it won't take you far off the motorway into a decent town to find one. Also most have a cafe and serve good coffee and food.

Matt I think it’s actually closer to 37.5mpg. When you filled up you omitted to tell us how many miles had been travelled, for the 61 litres you filled. But if it’s a 650 mile trip and you filled up with 150 miles to go, that’s 500 miles for 61 litres which I’m sure you know isn’t close to the 43.9mpg the trip computer showed.
