    When I got my first convertible (986 Boxster) 21 years ago (and still have it) it was just before Thanksgiving. My wife and I thought we were crazy those first couple of years when we went riding with the top down in the low 40s with the heater and heated seats on. But those were clear sunny days. Now I feel completely sane. Enjoyed the review, as I always do with these guys. Does anyone really have more fun doing a car review than these two? Doubt it.

Also very good reasoning and balanced options about this car. No fanboy going crazy. It is basically useless but at that price range we are way beyond these kinds of considerations anyway. So looks fun yeah send it again into the next spin!

      It’s a combination capacitive touch and a mechanical button set. BMW is using it more and more, I agree with you, it feels cheap and I don’t like it. I imagine it’s cheaper to manufacture and install one plastic piece as opposed to individual ones for each button.

    4:45 M5 has a completely different shifter. That one looks kinda weird and it's plastic. The shifter in the M8 is leather-wrapped and it looks much better IMO.

      Also their criticism about power is just plain stupid. I mean what do they expect from around 100 horsepower more. Why would the m8 comp be way faster than the m850i. Pretty stupid if u ask me.
