Love the channel Bob. I agree about the connectivity being buggy. I don't use Android auto anymore. You can use Spotify without your phone, direct through the cars WiFi and the sound quality is better than when you use your phone too
For the money & size, usability - no, but still gorgeous car. The more expensive and faster car you test, we can see you like it more, but keep saying 'No' to film Ferrari's etc :( Would be cool to watch!
Well i know if Bob say's it's really brilliant then it must be, so if i ever come into a lot of money! i know i'll be looking closely at one of these beauties.
Interesting about Apple CarPlay was it any better if you connected with wire ? I have an old iPhone 6 and when I occasionally get a car with CarPlay it freezes sometimes or does not draw the big blue icons at top if screen and puts big blue squares instead
I really don’t see the point in buying these diesel / petrol cars any more when everyone knows in a few years we will all be driving electric.....just about the time you are looking to off-load your dirty diesel. Maybe lease or contract but not cash, too risky, look at Jaguars, £40,000.00 in 2017, £8,000 in 2019, that’s what I call a financial beating !
15:55 bob, the sound goes a bit wonky and it sounds like you said it was €133,000 and that it was outstanding value. Suddenly a nearly new 640d gc is the deal of the century!
Sorry way 0ver-rated. Ill take the AMG Roadster any day. The side view of this car looks like a mustang. Too many variations of the same car. 9 to be exact. Just my opinion
Great video. What an absolute stunner of a car. The interior looks amazing and I love the colour of the leather. Awesome.
Thanks Fraser!
Finally someone who shares some practical details about having kids in the back seats! Thank you!

It's some machine, really impressive in the metal too, thanks for the quick tour on Sunday!
Glad you enjoyed it Niall, great to meet you!
Great vid as always , it’s taken me a while to warm to this 8. However I’m appreciating it more and more.
Can’t wait till mine arrives 🔥🔥
I love the 8 series design. By far the best from BMW. But the 6 series was amazing too
Beautiful looking machine although I’d find that interior colour hard to live with! Very in depth review.
Still about 50/50 on the interior colour!
Brilliant review as always my friend thank you
Glad you enjoyed!
so need to drive one, never mind owning one
Make it your business to have a go in one
Excellent review Mr Flavin. Very informative
Magnificent car, looks like the 6 series grand coupe on the inside. How does it compare driving wise to the 6 series grand coupe Bob?
... excellent review Bob ... like it a lot - beautiful car...

Start saving and you can queue up behind me!
I'm not a great BMW fan but...... yes please!
Me too!
Great video, but its HONESLY time for a visit to the orthodontist....SOON !!!!!!!!
I know how much you loved the 6 series. Especially the gran coupe. Design wise I think the 8 can’t hold up with the 6 though. Excited for the 8 GC.
I have very high hopes for the 8GC, it's going to blow me away or be terrible
Looks like the car you had on Sunday Bob. A lovely car.
Similar warning system in the VWs to put your hands back on the steering wheel...class car.
It's the first time I've tested the system to the end result, it's well thought out
Now Bob, you should test it against S class coupe.
I would if Mercedes Ireland would put one on the fleet!
A6 Bi-turbo 3.0 far more practical and that interior colour was shocking lol
It's about 50/50 on the interior colour, I like it but it's a tiny bit on the brown side
Beautiful car
wow.. heaping praise...
Classy car
The Gran Coupe is to be unveiled in the next few weeks
Is the noise from the engine or those sweet sounding speakers? lol
Not all the noise is from the engine, there's a flap opens in the exhaust and it's amplified by the stereo system
both, and the exhaust. ASD can be easily disabled tho
Driving gloves should be a standard feature.
Interesting about Apple CarPlay was it any better if you connected with wire ? I have an old iPhone 6 and when I occasionally get a car with CarPlay it freezes sometimes or does not draw the big blue icons at top if screen and puts big blue squares instead
Wont be selling many at that price.
It's not far off sold out!
@@BobFlavinVideo Celtic tiger is back then!!
How does it compare to the 640d 2 door coupe Bob?
You missed the “vrt”...lol...😎🙏👀
Very nice looking car. Reliability in mind I wouldn't touch a BMW.. I fix to many of them to frequently!
I hear that a lot but yet they do well in studies
What about Continental GT?
How can they build something so big and still have no space for rear passengers?
Exactly 🤣

Electric cars are not the future. For sure.

No the BMW 640d engines go on fire to easily, look at my channel and you will see the aftermath of a 141D with burnt out engine.
It very much look like 6 series coupe

Prefer mercedes myself
Too expensive not a bmw man will stick with my skoda superb 2.0 sport line but as ever great review mate
🤣
what do you think the price should be then? 🤦♂️
ArmanE46 guess by your reply your a bmw driver
6 foot wide? Erm, what? Are we in the good old USA or have we traveled back 30 years in time? Bob, metres please?
Dreadful colour. Looks like a Peugeot from the outside, Still love it though.
Looks a bit cramped and the centre display is cheap looking.
