BMW performance of their new vehicles is closer than ever to Porsche and there are astronomical differences in price. Having owned a 991.2C2, 992C2S, M3 Comp xDrive, and now an M8, BMW is an insanely better deal and will give you just as much if not more joy than Porsche.
Porsches look and handle so much better though, sure the straight line performance is as good if not better + the cheaper price, but I can’t get over the new styling, and that’s coming from a E91 BMW owner
@@JRB41 looks are subjective. Most non car people I know look at a 911 and say what’s so special about that. Some think they’re just ugly. As far as handling I can vouch when comparing the $85k M3 I owned to the $135k 992 C2S the difference was minimal and personally I liked the M3 interior better than the 911. I don’t track anything but enjoy pushing cars hard in the right places. If you track a car where tenths of a second matter, and are well funded, go for the Porsche! I love both brands personally, just feel that other brands also have amazing performance for a fraction of the price (and wait time to buy new) of a Porsche. Currently I’m out of the sports car market, driving an X5 50e and love it. Like it way batter than the 21 Cayenne Coupe I had driving and interior quality/comfort. Not a big price difference in this case though, Cayenne was just a base.
@@jgway9980 Test drove the new X5 M and a Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid, both fully loaded. I much preferred the burmester sound in the Cayenne, and the quality was superior in my opinion. Not a fan of the curved displays that are unintegrated, aswell as the lack of physical buttons. Also noted that the suspension was too stiff for my liking.. for the price the X5 is definitely a better value, but if I had to choose between the 2 I’d pick the Cayenne
@@JRB41 I haven’t driven the top of the line X5 or Cayenne’s so I can’t vouch for those. Amazing though yeah I was shocked that the X5 50e feels better quality, rides better, and even handles better than the 21 base Cayenne I had. 4 wheel steering and air suspension are standard on the 50e and it definitely makes a difference. From what I hear, the high end Cayenne models are the best SUV’s on the road but I would never pay what they are going for. With that said I wouldn’t touch an X5 M for that price either. The 50e is pushing near 500hp and 500+ lb and that to me is the sweet spot for an SUV.
I've seen several car reviews, this was very well done. Got the information needed stated very confidently and in a concise manner. Camera work was good and the transitions were awesome. Keep it up
I have saved up money to buy either 2025 M8 Competition Convertible or Gran Coupe. It should be helpful and informational to me if you can make videos about them. Thank you!
There is a significant different in price, but M8 is the best car if you don't mind the spending the extra 30-40 Gs. I am not saying M8 is the best deal, just the better car overall, you can go from 4WD to 2WD with the touch of a button, CT5 is only rear wheel drive. However, CT5-V Blackwing is more exotic and you can get a manual transmission, which is an anti-theft device by its very nature. I think its a matter of personal preference, no wrong answer, both are incredible machines.
How do you get these dealerships to to let you review the cars? I’m trying to become an automotive journalist in tampa and can’t get any dealer to contact me back
Agreed on ID8. It absolutely sucks! I want to like it. Mainly the climate control. And telling My BMW to do it with kids in the car is not going to happen. Also in the south east, we have to keep it on max a/c all the time. It just doesn’t get cold. We have the X7 M60i.

is the m8 loud? also does it handle well, i hear a lot of people saying it doesn’t?

My favorite car 😍🔥
I like this car too. But I like the M5 body style a lot

Thanks man glad you liked it! 👍🏼
Yes this guy is very good at extensive reviews. I’ll be looking at his channel for future reviews. 👍
No chrome and an OG grill. Thank God!
Thanks for watching! Hit the subscribe button if you’re new and stay tuned for tomorrow’s review of the 2024 BMW IX Xdrive50!
I keep my eyes open for that one dude!
Nice ultimate driving machine
Can't wait to get mine 🎉🎉

I wonder why BMW doesn't allow an option for Fixed Spoiler. Not that narrow flimsy one but a true Race Car Spoiler like on the Mercedes AMG GT 63 S
One of the best of the best reviews coming from a former reviewer. 🧐👍
I'm undecided between this a 2020 Taycan Turbo S or a 2022 Audi Rs7
Such a beautiful car but never been a fan of carbon roofs. Keep it panoramic
One day i will have this😍
Por favor alguien sabe cuántas unidades se hicieron y si entre el 2025 y 2024 se podrá comprar?😢
Torn between this or the Cadillac ct5-v blackwing. Any advice or opinion between the two?!
Thanks!

Great review.
2.5sec !!!!!❤😮
Why not a smaller TV in the back at least 😡
Bro....WTF, nobody is talking about why these cars havent received the LCI refresh with idrive8....not even BMW
because bmw doesn't love the series 8 :) it's all about the 3 series and 5 series :)
Orgasmic acceleration 😁😎👍

Yes
Most likely cause these cars are expensive and they are really cautious about letting anybody review the car

My vehicle to afford!
I wonder how much an oil change is on one of these things?😲
Lol probably not cheap 👍🏼
you can do it yourself just like any other car
Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive is way better but at this price BMW is good .
It looks the same every year
I prefer idrive 8
Interior is a huge let down for me.😢
interior is top notch :)
