    Yes, M8 GC is prettier than M5, but nobody mentions the smaller seats, less space that you have inside an M8 (Grand Coupe). I also feel the central console buttons quality a bit 'cheaper' than in the M5. On a track, of course I felt the M8 much better than the M5, but overall daily driver, I'll stick to the M5 for the moment :)

  • @bavariancarenthusiast2722

    Couldn´t agree more with the great review - the 8 is right now the best looking BMW! Ok they tried something new with the 4. We will get over it. And I might need to get over it that cars got that heavy - EV´s will not change it. We see the last hurrah of the ICE cars, and what a great one it is!

    M8 is so beautiful and capable. It's gonna be a hard choice between M8GC and GT63S. But people would definitely choose it over Panamera turbo/Turbo S.
    Many people believe the ZF 8speed auto has upgraded in M power cars after 2019 like M8 to match the launch control system better than F90M5 and give people a more stable straight line performance.
    So it's not just the difference of body style and interior. Many other things are also different like you mentioned.
