Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
I have the z4 m40i. I have driven the m440i convertible and an 850i convertible in Hawaii. Honestly. My z4 looks better, and I care about performance. Also my top goes up and down in 9 seconds, no wind noise inside due to it being a true roadster and having a wind deflector. And the performance in corners is the same as the supra. The z4 is the ONLY good "convertible" bmw. If you want the top down, get a z4 and take just one special partner with you like a wife or gf. No need for pointless useless back seats no one wants to sit in, and an oversized boat. The z4 Interior is the same but it just handles and performs way better since it weighs over 1000lb less, yet is nearly as WIDE as an 850, but has weigh shorter length, height, wheelbase, and you sit right at the rear axle. Try the z4 m40i and you'll see exaxtly what I mean (if you care for both cruising like a gt car AND going all out performance)
I just put a deposit on black coupe.. any mechanical or reliability issues I should know about pal thanks.. are blue lights standard?
There is no such thing as mid-life crisis, boys will be boys, I always since childhood wanted BMW.
What do boys have to do with it
@@Ruckusss as if like boys will stay boys no matter how old they are. Only now I can afford this things.
Boys? Really? Us ladies are looking for men. And I’m looking at this for myself. No boys allowed. 😂
Agreed brother. I hope you are enjoying your car.
enjoying a good ride when you are older is a sign of crisis in your life. get a counselor for crisis intervention 🥱
I gotta give you credit for your intro videos. You can see the hard work and attention to detail that goes in. Thank you.
Thanks! We're glad you like em!!
I am just gonna say it out loud, this is the best automotive channel on youtube 👏
Hands down - your car reviews are simply the best 🤝
Great video. I really like what BMW has done with this car since I bought my 2019 which I love!
Great video. Stunning car and that interior is just superb 🔥
Inject more of these intros into my veins! Sooooo gooood!!!!
Beautiful car ,beautiful review
My dream carr!!
best intros on yt, ong!
Thank you!
Perfect colour for this beauty car 😮
Exceptional work ! 🙏🏼 What's the equipment behind this ? Love the quality in every way. How did you mounted the camera for the cabin view ? CONGRATS ! 🙏🏼
Nice review. Keep up the good work! What color is this vehicle? Carbon Black or Tanzanite Blue?
Tank you
Beautiful BMW!!!!!
This is not bad, IMO. It is close to an AMG GT63S, Audi R8, or really Bentley Continental GT. Of course if you want a real head turner/conversation starter, get a BMW/Alpina B8!!! Just a little bit better engine performance, better handling, and small, nice luxury touches in the cabin. Also (in this video) that interior is my favorite from BMW. Two tone blue and white (or cream)!! Love it!
Great review! Is this black sapphire or carbon black?
Ufffff yildirim Malik Sila ♥️🇹🇷😤
Mans production is 👌🏽
we appreciate it thank you!
Beautiful car
Are there any differences between the 20/21/22/23 model years?
You got it In msport and 20” rim with low profile off course you’ll feel some bumps
I was wondering when someone would make a car that looks just like the car from the video game Final Fantasy 15, this is it.
I just bought one and I have to say you are on point on everything,ie. seat belts not coming to you, not having a smooth ride like an air suspension,etc. But it's a joy to drive with the top down. Next stop would be a Bentley GTC. Thanks for a great review!
Do you get noticed when driving top down or is it more subtle
Why this over the m8 competition?
What do you do for a living
@@kevinc6602 M8 is more rare and about a 40K difference.
BMW SUCKS BUDDY YOU HAVE Mid-Life Crisis
I have the convertible and don't drive it unless I can drop the top. What a feeling.
Lovely
How is the turbo lag?
Are you guys in the London area? I have a business there. Love your reviews, just subscribed.
Yes we are! Jump on Instagram
I like the coupe version better. I'm older and my doctor forbids direct sunlight so maybe that is the reason...LOL! Anyway, good video!
Such a good used car bargain a good low mileage one goes for under 70k
Did just that for slightly over 70k. Have had the car for a year. Driven it in snow, heavy rain. No problems. Besides topping off the coolant here n there, car runs well.
Beautiful and fast. What's not to love?
Not a real M
@@tw430 So?
@@tw430makes power like a real M
Having a midlife crisis at 27 lmao def getting this 1
Man that front license plate in Canada just ruins the front. In Georgia we don’t have require,ents for front license plate.
this is the only beatiful BMW left
What were you doing in Dubai? Is it worth a visit?
softtop and automatic . for SURE a car for man with midlife crisis a his 40-50s
All-Wheel Steering???
The host’s attire is a hundred times the midlife crisis than owning the car is
Should have showed us the rear seats folded down.
Very few are able to afford such a vehicle until they are in a mature age. Buying things you want never have an age on it
8:14 mark NOW DOUG DEMURO 🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣
Would much prefer this as a hard top convertible
I just saw one on a lot and would agree. It is a lot of money for a top that doesn’t look great.
BMW while great has got to get their designs in order. Feels like every model is shooting off into some experimental design language
The 4 series in particular is trash.
Those aren’t 21’s those are 20” tires
Make the thumbnail of the glowing grill, maybe drive in some new views.
What's the name of the color?
❤❤❤
You can’t even get the BW sound system anymore sad
The tire noise come from those run flats ☹
I think I just found my next toy.
I got a 2023 Coupe in September. The coupe has so much better styling than the convertible. What you complained about the discontinued 6 series was correct and an ugly back. The M850 coupe is sleek and sharp looking. Only drawback is the rear seat which you are also correct. Excellent video!
Waiting to see how quick it depreciates...
Back in 2020 for a 3 year lease:
15k miles / 51% residual
12k miles / 53% residual
10k miles / 54% residual
So yeah, if you buy brand new you lose about half in depreciation over three years. Not many people can afford that on a $130k USD car. I could buy the car, but I can't afford that depreciation. Buying vs Affording.. two different things sadly. This is a car for the wealthy or high income folks, same as the M760li and Merc S63. And this is saying nothing about taxes or maintenance.
@@CaffeinatedDoggo Buy pre-owned...A crap ton of benefits...
N63 sounds better than s63 but s63 is insane but the new s68 will be even better
I don't think I'll be able to afford a midlife crisis like this one😟 I'll probably have a Miata one at best... or a used z4 if I'm lucky.
I just ordered this car yesterday all blacked out.. not a midlife crisis.. just enjoying life.. coupe not cabriolet.. just looks better
@@execatty I hate you... Congratz on the car, hope you enjoy the hell out of it. But I hate you so so much right now 😄
Don’t leave it to luck then
@@pawelwisniewski6849 Power thoughts :D Hahahahah
@@TheMarouuu that’s all I got 😂
beautiful car but saddens me that it's a soft-top convertible instead of a hard-top. What's also annoying is that the color of the soft-top is different than the color of the car.
Problem with BMW, among several, is their wont to throw the "M" designation around on everything, diluting the "M" cache to near meaninglessness.
6k views after almost a week posted. Man CZcams is really messing up with creators lately eh. So sorry to hear see this.
It’s definitely not a motivating factor that’s for sure. Lol.
@@ACCELER8TV damn. 😭 i do wish it changes soon. You guys pump as good of content as the others. Goodluck and keep up the awesome vids.
That black top don’t suit it. I think a beige or saddle color top be nicer.
Glad you made your videos shorter. Keep up the good work!
Wht you mean midlife crisis man I'm 20 and wanna get this car this summer😢
last good designed bmw?
Someone who can afford car like this hardly knows what mid life crisis is
We all go to the great beyond. It's that realization that hits, not money. In fact, with more money u are used to the sweat stuff. Once back pains roll in, greybeard shows up, more money might make it even worse, the crisis
These videos are very suggestive and often can be "somewhat" misleading. What do I mean by this? Well, in this video the gentleman doing the video eludes to the fact that the BMW M850i feels a bit Mercedes Benz like and not as rugged as the typical BMW feel or "engaging". While you watch other videos and the complain is the complete opposite - their complain is that the car is a but too rugged for a $150K; that it needs to be a bit more luxurious. Then in most videos everyone raves about how beautiful is the rear end of these new 8 Series cars; while on this specific video the rear end is not "appealing". The front grille is "much" bigger? Compared to what? Perhaps compared to a 1971 BMW 2002 series. Because let us not forget that the car is quite wide - therefore the grille must match the width of the vehicle. The exterior design on the 8 Series have lauded as perhaps the "best looking" of all BMWs; yet, in this video the rear end of the car and the grille didn't quite make the cut.
The video is overall very good - let me make sure that I am not misunderstood. I am eluding to the fact that when it comes to his particular BMW Series - I think that it is sometimes getting some unfair reviews; which are often very inconsistent. For some is the best looking ever then followed by another video in which the car is hideous. In some videos it feels as if you are driving a dump truck and in other videos it feels as if you are driving a Lincoln Continental or a Mercedes Best Limo. In a handful of videos the steering wheel is to thick and in most videos the thick steering wheel is awesome.
The interior is Bentley like; but, I want the same little gadget that the previous 335i used to have handing me the seatbelt. A cheap looking plastic gadget that after a couple of years became "finnicky" and often would come forward without the belt. Why piano black if it will get dirty? What other trim can be used that will NOT get dirty? Why am I being such a pest? Because at times it feels as if those making videos are looking for things to criticize and they cannot find anything they just criticize things that are insanely trivial.
Keep in mind one thing - I am only being just a petty finding things wrong with the video for the sake of finding things wrong with it. 😉 Perhaps it is the IN thing - let's criticize for the sake of criticizing. 🙂
I like it Mike but if i would have so much money? i would buy a 911.
Two different cars. This is a GT cruiser that is fast. The 911, of course is a true sports car. Different animals for different tastes and functions.
I rather get the BMW i8 even though they stop making them. BMW next stop is skip M950i and go straight to M1050i. 😂😂😂
buddy really complained about not being passed the seatbelt.
Most cars in this price range do it
That is a good looking car, but I think I get a Lexus Lc500 in this segment.
I had and sold LC500 to get the M850i 2 dr coupe. Same color as in this vid (carbon black). My LC500 looked fast but wasn't. Roughly the same weight as the M850 2 dr version, but the LC had 471 hp/398 tq vs the M850's 523/553. M850 interior and especially the infotainment system is better than the LC's. For me the LC was a great GT car that served as a springboard to the M850 couple.
@@glennc2564 yup if lc had turbo you would’ve kept it I bet lol
👨🏿💻🍿
same interior as my 2019 first edition
Yeah, the 2023 is a pretty minor refresh.
The designers from BMW should have made this 2nd gen 8 series with split headlights not the 7 series and X7. It would have looked apart just like the first gen 8 eries that technically it had split headlights.
I'll subscribe when you stop showing kph on the dash
🇨🇦 🇨🇦
For an extra $38,200 you gain 0.7 second in 0-100 acceleration time with the M8. Not worth it IMHO.
A more robust M-specific engine, M specific suspension, M tuning, M interior and exterior
Worth every penny, 0.7 seconds is years in acceleration lol
I would go for the Alpina B8 instead, if I was paying that much extra.
That front license plate is really awkward
Ultimate because you don't look like the typical Corvette/911 old geezer. Don't ask me how I know.
Amazing car ! Unlike the simp 💩 that’s coming out now
🇩🇪❤️👍
2023 and peeps still have reverse caps ? Go uncool nerds ! BTW tattoos are also yesterday.
😱😱😱
Euro cars look the best.But they are not great cars and thats being realistic
It looks like a Ford Mustang
2023 Model S blows this away
Model S is a piece of rubbish. Look they had to reduce the prices recently
Too bad you all can’t get the six cylinder. I think this is a cruiser, and the straight six would be perfect engine for it.
It is nice, I have one. It’s also 500 lbs lighter so there’s that.
@Brian Ostlind 500 hundred? Really, that's a big diff
if you want a six cylinder, get an m2, m3, or m4. This car is perfect with the v8
Lol u r too cute- def made me laugh- this car is sexy
For what it is, I would rather a Lexus LC 500. It's more luxurious, reliable and Naturally Aspirated
Tell you what, how bout the entire car industry just make horned mirrors the standard o every car. That's basically how watered down the M branding has become. I feel so DISRESPECTED as an X6MMMMMMMM Comp owner. This is NOT a true M car. Only M cars should have the horned mirrors
It seems BMW has an unhealthy grille fetish
It’s called tradition
@@Stuttgart1887
Giant bucktooth donkey grilles that glow in the dark is "tradition"?
Porsche 911 depreciates less
Dated items on the car:
- steering wheel: look at the Mercedes and porsche, so so much nicer, this looks old and bubbly
- rear-end exterior, yuck, bloated and bubbly, gross
- 275's on the back tires 😮💨, should be 305's minimum
- I could go on but I'm so bored already

You are not properly dress to drive that piece of German art
Coupe is better. Soft tops dont age well.
I drove one the other day. The interior is luxurious and very comfortable. The performance is top notch. I just don’t know what to think of the styling. It’s kind of bland. Looks too much like a Mustang. I kind of wish they would’ve did like a next gen i8 and threw this engine in there and called it an 8 series. The 8 series from the 90’s remind a lot of the i8’s styling.
Just looked up what $132,000 CAD was in US dollars. It's $96,000 today! 20 years of liberal / socialists like Trudeau and Canadian currency has gone to hell!
Not better than s class coupe not Evan close
A better question would be why would anybody buy this on 2023 WITHOUT idrive 8🤣? Folks, BMW has to the dumbest company in history not to make this year the year to rollout idrive8 across the whole lineup. So buy this, then next year they add idrive8 to the 2024 model. So stupid.
Gran coupe >
If it's not an m it's not worth it
You do realize mid life is like 30 years old right because the average lifespan is 65 to 70
Not anymore. Average lifespan today is mid 80s to early 90s making 40-45 mid life.
This guy is in the wrong job
THIS CAR IS UGLY NOTHING LIKE THE PAST, TTC IS WAY FASTER $3.35
I mostly just see the being driven my drug dealers.
