I love the clean lines of the interior. It's classic BMW. Not everyone wants a Las Vegas casino style interior
I've just finished watching 4 episodes of Autogefühl from the Z4, to the Panamera, 8-series cabriolet and this 8-series coupé.
I spent my Tuesday night wisely I would say. Started to fall in love with Autogefühl's episode from the CLA45 since I was doing some recce to get one of the facelift 2016-2018 model from the Malaysian unregistered import-used car market (It's almost like new with many extras than the base model and a lower price tag ranging up to 15-30% off of the new ones).
A big thumbs up to Thomas & Autogefühl for making this brilliant episode! Keep it up with the good work. Love from Malaysia :)
Awesome 👏
I once said I prefer the first gen of the 8 series ( probably due to the pop up lights) but now seeing this one here, I just love that design. I wouldn't go through " It looks like x or y ", many cars recently might look similar some how. Obviously if something is trendy and costumers want it, designers will go for it. Personally if it's an appealing design, I don't even care, I just admire it.
Of all the car reviews you have done, this car seems like one that you should own. It just looks very well suited to you! That is meant as a compliment. BMW should give you this car as your insights from a buyers/owners perspective were really very helpful.
=)
This car looks incredible, i clicked the video as soon as a seen it. Amazing work guys, always enjoy your videos.
People complaining about the interior... Personally I love it. It's clean, not full of distractions, everything's obvious from a HID/UX point of view. I really don't like the gear selector though.
g9icy people complaining about the interior are morons who’ve never sat in a Bmw.
Bmw and Audi go for more simple interiors.That's their style.While on the other side.Mercedes has interiors in which more things are going on,which i like more.Some people like more simple interiors,some people like interiors like Mercedes.It's all just personal preference.Doesn't mean BMW or Mercedes make bad interiors if someone doesn't like them.
@@lukayonny5898 I agree, however I drove a 2 year old C63 a few weeks ago and the interior wasn't only a bit..ugly (in my opinion) but also felt extremely cheap considering the cost of the car. It also rattled terribly. I think with Mercedes, if the car's less than £150k it's not their best interior. Engine was awesome though.
@@g9icy Put a normal person in the car and he will be blown by how good the interior is.I mean.Us who know about cars find that interior outdated...
I think it sounds nicer than the new M5, you can actually hear it growl a bit.
I agree, the M5 is a limo sounding POS. Maybe competition package +Sports package would make it have soul.
Great video as always! I love your detailed review. I'm surprised that in Germany you can drive on a track without a helmet, here in the states, it is not allowed. You are a great driver.
appreciated !!
The best review 👌 from all CZcams, very detailed 👌 👍 perfect, I am an owner of 840i, I bought it because of your reviews, great 👍 thank you 😊
Thanks and enjoy 😉
S63 Coupe over this any day. May not be as sporty but it’s not supposed to be. The AMG is far more gorgeous inside and out
senorgato70 defo
Disagree. Mercedes styling means it looks like it could be a C or E class coupe to the untrained eye. It lacks uniqueness given it's price and due to it's similarities with lesser models, it really cheapens the design and experience.
This is not a full M model though
senorgato70 so u are fucking comparing a s63 to this wow its not even its competition the s63 is supposed to be compared with the m8
Bruh this is merely only the M sports line it's not a full all-out M8...wait til that makes the merc it's bitch and then talk
As a BMW fan, I’m really disappointed with the interior of this car. i honestly think it doesn’t stand a chance against the S class coupe
Because you lack the bucks? Yes, it must be truly awful.
You cant be a BMW fan, because if you were, you would know the 8 Series is NOT a S class rival. It is a Aston martin DB11, AMG GT and a 911 rival!
people are angry. calm down.
@@MasterSteve_117 nahh man,you're wrong
BMW officially says it, in the video thomas says it, so how can i be wrong?
The interior is so boring, this is the flagship car. It should be more extravagant.
Yes the interior of the 3 series looks way better.
Since when was _this_ the flagship car? 🤔
££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££Fac£lift£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££
It's a sports car. Which never have a extravagant interior. Because that wouldn't be sporty.
i AGRREEEEE
Excellent review and succinct spot-on summary! Almost too droll a delivery, but always the most informative and well considered presentation.
👍
FINALLY, the video I have been waiting for narrated by the great Thomas/Autogeful team.
Enjoy 😊
Great video, very nicely done as always. Sharp and appealing outside color, I wish it was Thomas blue however!
=)
Thanks for the review!! You gave us an opportunity to see this vehicle....
Beautiful exterior design
Best way to understand this car is to assume this is the new 6 series but they decided to name it 8 series.
Great video and review. Very informative. Thanks for sharing
For all them haters out there claiming this looks exactly like a mustang quit the shit this looks nothing like it. Put them straight beside each other from every angle, and one can easily see the obvious differences. However one may wanna compare its side view a lot closer, but even then you can easily spot its difference. Yall honestly just wanna find somethin to straight talk trash regarding this magnificent piece of engineering. There shall always be those people out there who hate on greatness yo
Nice review! That is called a burbling sound :)) Getting out of the back seat was a workout lol Given a choice; the M5 is the one!
Ah yes, this is the one. Forget the X7 and X5 -- this is my dream car. What a beautiful machine. I think this would look fabulous in grey or red. The flipside is that despite the huge size of the car, there's less room in the back than there is in my Honda Jazz! Even you would fit in the back of my Honda Jazz quite easily, Thomas.
The 8 is very good. Very comprehensive video, Thomas good as always. I personally like more the 8 gran coupe M in that brilliant green colour. Overall the 8 is great car with no real competition currently.
Looking at your legs this is one car that needs a flat bottomed wheel! I saw this earlier in the year and sat in it and thought it’s very well made, the gesture controls work better in this car then other BMWs too. Big German brute of a muscle car with luxury haha!
Finally a good looking BMW, they haven't made a really good looking one since the early 2000s.
I couldn’t spend the money on this knowing I could have had the cheaper, faster, more practical M5 sitting in my garage. I’d choose substance over style in this case. Great video Thomas 👍
Cheers!
The interior is quite sad and barely looks different from a 2 series. The side profile is nearly pure new model Mustang. Back with carbon fiber package looks like an overdone Camry XSE. If you get this over the LC 500 for a flagship coupe/GT you are out of your mind
The new Mercedes A has the same interior as the E- and C-Class, with the S having a bit more glamour. Compared to that, this isn't really that bad given it has the new BMW interior. The side profile is almost the same as the F13. The back end with the overdone exhausts does look a bit weird.
But of you don't like overdone how on earth can you recommend a Lexus LC over this? Lexus' design language is such a mess that I don't understand how anyone would like it. Just the grille is just straight-up hideous.
you are so right! BMW STRETCHED a mustang and called it an 8 Series! the last Gen 8 series was truly original! this one is NOT!
mercedes sucks
I saw your comment and I thought you were exaggerating... saw the video and holy hell what did they do? Comparing it to a 2 series is not enough! that thing is a 114i base trim garbage. Looks horrible!
What car do you own? A 2004 corolla i bet
Is it me or it look like a mustang from the side and Camaro rear??
YES!!! Im not the only one that saw that!!
Looks so much like a mustang
wayyy too much for any bmw
Totally agree. It looks like a Mustang!
longstang
Thomas, I like a lot your reviews and watch most of them. Your work is very thorough and Autogefuhl covers great cars. Why don't you try to give some more comments or use expressive opinions? I feel your videos lack these elements a little. They should be reviews, after all. Autogefuhl 4 life, bro!
Thanks 🙏 well we try to be rather objective to serve a lot of different needs and perspectives.
I agree with you and respect that. You also know a lot more about car than an average viewer. Let us know if the chassis sucks or the front suspension is excellent, we'd love that.
thanks 4 the feedback!
I Liked this video within 9 Sec. I Love cars and this channel is among the very best. Keep it up Thomas.
👍👍
Dash design is very dull, rest of the car looks great, I agree. New Z4, 3 series etc all have very graceful designs. BMW is knoking it out of the park with the new design language!
Wow ! Being a huge fan of BMW, I'm in love with this new 8 Series since the concept in June 2017. Sadly I regret the 6 Coupé and its interior curb design on central console. I owned an L6 3 Series Coupé E92 and this is the best car I had in my life. Next car I'll buy will be a BMW for sure.
Thks Thomas for your review, as always very complete and cool like you 😉🇩🇪🚘
As a lot of people said, interior is the weak part of this car. Quality is 200% present but it lacks of creativity and stunning design, which make it not feel as luxury as an S-Class. This is my only grief about it
One can find other concubine centers that are a bit better at most, but one can find someone for under half price that is so good for their purpose,
Great review as always Thomas, beautiful color and exterior, but this is a rather disappointing interior for a 100k euro++ car , steering wheel and instrument cluster is same as Z4 or 3 series, and central console is very dull :(
Exterior is very "French design" which is a good thing. Great review!
The interior again lacks imagination and possibly quality (not seen it in the flesh). It's their flagship model and yet still looks like a high mass based production vehicle (yes I know it is to an extent, but the interior shouldn't reflect that). Exterior is stunning, let down by interior design team in my opinion. I get that Icommand is the best in the market, so why is the rest of the interior aesthetic inferior?
Completely agree.
Well, I can tell you that bmw’s have always had amazing quality with amazing leather real wood and real metal.
Totally agree. This is there luxury GT, competition generally appears to have stolen a march on the interior, just my opinion. I think we should expect more from their flagship car, I assume the budget and resources are available. The exterior is stunning, and I bet it will drive like most BMW's, extremely well. I can't help thinking it's just not quite equal in its design quality compared to that of the exterior. A little like the Aston Martin Superleggera. Exterior, exceptional, you step inside and it disappoints. Interior nothing better than a standard DB11.
I am sure the quality of the materials are tip top. The use of the materials is what disappoints me a little. Just one person's opinion. There will be many who will love this lay out I'm sure.
The quality is there its just lacking in design flair
Great review as always Thomas, for sure...💪✌️
Sells the car for me. BMW should hire this guy.
Hi ,Thomas , the exterior looks great ,super design. I like the interior unlike some of the comments , but I just feel it needed to be a bit more luxurious .It needed to stand out from the other BMW range which it doesn't really. So , exterior designers great job, interior designers just satisfactory job. It's still a great car though ,but I'd rather have the S-Class Coupe instead.
Great review Thomas, you do one hell of a job there , well done!!
thanks Greg !!
Finally! A new BMW model that doesn't look horrible!!!.... I thought it would never happen again lol. Shame its one of their most expensive models so few people will be able to afford one.
That orange/black combo is not nice but in the right colour it could look awesome. I wish the interior design had the same wow factor as the exterior....but then maybe this is meant to be the drivers car, not the luxury car like a 7 series?
Another great review by Autogefühl, but I not impressed by the car considering its flagship status within the BMW lineup. Still, I am curious to see the Grand Coupé version.
It's always great to see car videos in my home area of Cascais/Sintra! 😎
thanks! yeah so beautiful there, we ll be back soon :)
no BMW should make you think mustang ( the side/ rear view ) so dull on the inside. im struggling to like this car. compared to the s class coupe... the Mercedes wins. that s coupe is almost 4 years old... maybe the M and M convertible will be more special. btw, great shoes Thomas.
In your opinion
@@boondockbwoy14 In his opinion?I don't think so.mercedes is far more luxurious,has rear seat space.Much more features for the back and front passengers.It maybe is a little bit faster i don't know actually.Also better sound.The exterior looks are just personal preference but Mercedes' interior is way better in general than this one.
Edit:Maybe this one is a bit more sporty idk actually.
I have a feeling the mercedes interior will look dated in a couple of years. This one...you might say it looks dated already:) but will stand the test of time better. I think its a timeless design. This car will still look good 20 years from now. Its a keeper, a classy GT , will age like a fine wine.
that carbon black metallic is amazing!!
For whom can buy, it is great coupe :), exterior is great, but I agree with most that interior is similar to all other BMW models.
Still waitig and waiting to BMW make real Super sport car...
M3 E46
BMW M1. The Z4M is a delicious little coupé and the 1M is its rude little brother. Give them a try if you have the means.
Bmw does not have Super sport.... Those are just normal series production cars with stronger Engines....What define Super sport is someting different.
Unfortunately,they said that they had no interest in making a super car,they would rather focus more on the M division
That's so true. I don't understand why haven't done that. They have the means but not the will.
i feel like if this car was in the size of the m2,and as agile, it would have been perfect...great review as always thomas:)
thanks John !
To everyone talking about the interior, take a second and google the interior of the original 90's 8-series interior, it's there where you'll see the inspiration. Pretty simple.
Impressive on-track driving there Thomas! Very smooth steering inputs. Seems like maybe a 4 out of 5 car from your review. I’m not sure about the roofline, which seems quite flat and low at the rear. The current 4 series is a little the same. More of a curve and a little higher would help both looks and rear headroom I would suggest. The E92 coupe roofline was like I am trying to describe. As it is, I do see Mustang in the window shape, as others comment.
thanks Andrew !
Wow Thomas. So Mustang, so Shelby. Fantastic car. Great presentation.
Can't wait for the 8 gran coupe review...
2 very good questions here to the journalist trying the car:
- isn’t it kinda dangerous to put the start&stop button near the driving mode buttons? Like you could accidentally hit the start button while willing to put your car on sport mode for example?
- And isn’t it very slow to move the passenger seat? Like could you move it manually or you would have to wait for the seat to move automatically every-time???
Good questions, surely have a point
Woooow.... Just a German Musclebeast..... Great review from my favorite auto channel...... U should consider leaving the two cameras inside the car and putting a camera on ur head Thomas for a. REAL POV hhhhhhhhhhh just conider it i would love to see ur pov when driving
✌️
Great video Thomas.
I find it strange though that you’re using a handheld mic instead of a lapel mic since you’re not interviewing anyone.
Echo in studios
A well presented review backed by professional video work,thks Thom.
Thanks 🙏
Saw one driving today, absolutely stunning.. But hey, i mean thats just my opinion.
It’s a very striking car. Really exciting to look at. But so incredibly impractical. I’d just keep it with the seats folded down permanently (lower centre of gravity?). And I totally agree with having the right power for the car. When I was a kid playing Gran Turismo I would upgrade every car with every engine and turbo upgrade and ruin them all. Luckily I grew out of that :) Still play GT of course but just drive the cars as they are.
I love to be able to put my foot down and enjoy that, and you can’t really do that with higher performance cars for very long at all, if it’s even possible. They’re like superbikes, way too capable for road riding.
The first BMW that looks as good as an Audi and all the comments hating on it 🤣
Gawdy S class, huh. Some people just shouldn't be allowed opinions
The looks is nice, looks good but the problem is outdated interior and handling.
@Naughtysauce s class interior just have bad design but it's not outdated. I also don't like this flat surface with 2 screens. This series 8 interior is almost the same as in 5 yo 7 series, almost nothing changed. New Audi interiors are the best becouse they look modern with all the newest tech and designe is classier than the mercrdes one.
though beautiful, this 8 series doesn't hold a candle to the last Gen 8 series which had truly exotic body lines and caused visual emotions that this the new 8 series lacks! the exterior of this new 8 looks like a stretched mustang from the side. where's the last Gen 8 looked like nothing else........but a true and exotic BMW!
Just switched to lc 500 video after the exterior part.
I LOVE IT... LOOKS AMAZING CAR
Design is subjective, I Love it so much! The rear looks so aggressive
The exhaust tips are SUV-like, it would be better if they were narrower to match the rear lights.
Thank you again , great video about my favorite brand Bmw, I have a question : what car do you drive Thomas ?
Really love this car, looks very smart but mean at the same time! Bit of a weapon!
As usual one of the best reviews on CZcams but:At the frnt sit 2 people driver and [assinger not co driver,its not a plane or raly car?ok?You do not flip rear sits you fold them.And for gods sake stop using 100 times sufix wize,lenghtwize,Speedwize...
the central console and passenger side of the dashboard remind me a lot of the current 6 series coupe
Good review but can we get Kathrina back, and could you review a Porsche or two, maybe an Aston Martin? Good to get the German perspective.
This is a beautiful car, great job by BMW. Thomas needless to say great review as usual 🙂.
More awesome content again guys. Such a great channel ⭐️🌟
Agree with many here. Exterior is stunning, especially that carbon black metallic (aka a dark blue). Interior is excruciatingly boring.
Going around the track was not very elegant either, showing how heavy this thing is.
To be perfectly honest this car is an amazing redesign of the 635i, identical identity. This (for me) isn't the 8 series replacement. The 850 CSI is an amazing and unique car. Far more sophisticated than this one, and I hope BMW launch it as what really was and stands for. Maybe for the next generation.
Didn’t know Thomas was a Supastar though
If that is the new bmw infotainment can you now get turn directions on HUD when navigating with Apple CarPlay maps ? If so they will be the first OEM to do so
I think it’s more a GT than a sports car. I’d like to drive to the south of France in the 8 series not hustling it around the corners up the Alpine roads..
Looks pretty disappointing considering this should be a flagship BMW to replace the E31. Seems like a replacement for F12 6 series. But just happens to have 8 series badge. Based on F90 platform.
What a great car I love the BMW, thank you my friend
I don't really dislike the interior, but it really isn't striking as the ones from other GT's. I wish BMW would of done a better job on it, as they did with the exterior.
Massive overhangs, wayward handling and nearly two tons... Was this designed in Detroit?
This car looks so much better with the base front bumper, as you can see at 9.50 of the video. The M bumper spoils de design a bit.
How does the steering feel/feedback compare with that of the M5? Many thanks for sharing
3 series taillights 😔
The 8 series tailights are gorgeous!
32:22 - hmm...stops in the middle of the road right after a 180 degree turn. A bit sketchy.
Some elements of the original 8 series evident, Much more power thankfully. Too bad they had to add a B pillar. Same non existent rear seat head and leg room.
Check out those massive body rolls at the corners, those tires scream is a good indication how imbalance this car is.
No V12? What’s the point of bringing the 8 series back then.
17:00 i think the car shouldve had a slightly smaller trunk so the leg room wouldnt be so bad in the back. depends on what people want though
I loved the 2015 650 cabrio. I am waiting to see how the 850 cabrio will compare. Are they about the same size, Thomas? Also, the rear seats in the 650 were a joke as well. I think that those are included only for the sake of lower insurance costs (2 seats are considered more "sporty" in that business?)
Proper German review of a Proper German luxury car
The side view has that mustang silhouette.
Hmm, should I buy this or the new T Cross you also reviewed today? 🤔
What i really love about smaller BMW models (1;3, ...) is the more rectangular nd smaller dashboard. Round dashboards are no longer to me modern looking and therefor i have my doubts with the interior of this vehicle. Maybe it looks more sporty or racey like this with the console like this but i have seen better BMW interiors than this supposedly luxury segment.
It look beautiful and grand but I can't help and think that it's too big to be on a track. Maybe a GT car?
Exterior: Overall, beautiful shape. Really like it in carbon black and light blue. Not a fan of the black wheels or the carbon fiber. They seem out of place on a luxury coupe.
Interior: Very plain looking
Not really sure why the 7 serie gets the metal buttons for the windows/locks but the 8er doesn’t?
Its optional.
I don’t get it, why would BMW want make a diesel 8 series?
Is it sunset orange? or BROWN!
I want to buy a 2020 for about 50k. I’m just fearful of repair costs. Can anyone that knows what they’re talking about enlighten me?
Isn’t that m850i slightly faster the old m6 in the straight line or even on curve
it is.
Jesus.. WIth Audi everyone is like "How are we supposed to fucking use all those touchscreens + they're gonna be all covered in fingerprints and blablabla"
BMW keeps it real, makes everything great quality as always while also being great to use while driving and everyone is calling it boring? I'd choose any recent BMW interior over any car with Audis new infotainment system.
What’s up with BMW and their really deadass interiors lol! Dope exterior the inside nothing to write home about. And this is suppose to compete with the S class series. Benz winning for me
