My BMW 850i Gran Coupe Test Drive experience

First go in the BMW M850i - I think its BMWs most desirable thing for a long time. If you want to watch the test drive and sound / pov vid it's below.

For the honesty side of things among friends, here are my goods and bads.

Good
  • No Air Suspension!!! Brilliant.
  • Adaptive Suspension actually makes a difference on drive mode selections.
  • Looks. Not an ugly angle anywhere.
  • Road noise is not too bad.
  • Steering. Best BMW steering I have driven this year.
  • Seat design and interior materials.
  • Power and Sound.
  • Handling. Genuinely feels much much smaller than it is.

Bad
  • ID7 voice recognition, not as accurate as previous IDs.
  • Nav Screen not as good as the one in a 7 series.
  • Resolution of cockpit / binnacle, seems worse than old one.
  • Sound system, weaker underseat subs than in 7 series.
  • Very low driving position.
