Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I've enjoyed the car, but it's been a challenge getting use to the GT-sized car after having a 4 series on the track. I did have the 850 on a track here in BC, but brakes did not perform, as expected, so lowered my expectations and was sure an M8 was in my future down the road. Now putting the following order in with the dealer: 2022 M8 coupe Sapphire Black Sakhir Orange Merino Carbon Trim Ultimate Package Carbon Ceramic Brakes waffling on Barcelona Blue at bit at the moment Plans for the car:
As you can see, I've not done enough lurking yet to learn from you all. Will certainly reach out to Ben to see what he can provide Last edited by Dr. Thrillride; 10-24-2021 at 12:35 PM.. |

I'm looking at going from an M4 to an M8C next year when the updates are announced. I"m also debating on the color hoping they offer some new ones. I've seen an 840 in Barcelona Blue and thought it was ok but didn't really grab me and wonder how much better the color might look on an M8.

Maybe one of those tracks that goes in a straight line.

I'm joking. I was saying if you thought the M850 was large on the track the GC seems like it'll be really huge. While it's definitely too much car for 1 of me, I think they'd done a great job making a really large svelte looking sedan and was surprised how large it didn't look the first time I saw one in person.

Ah, no worries. Then we're both looking at the same car.

I'm not happy with the brakes either, but mainly from a confidence point of view. I think they work pretty well, better than I give them credit for, but they just don't make me feel comfortable enough stopping from 130+ while pushing 4300 pounds downhill. I end up finding myself braking early after a long straight, so it's more of a seat time thing, but I just can't see myself getting over it without an upgrade.

Yeah, but I've found keeping them clean they don't squeak. My X5MC started squeaking, so I have them cleaned every two weeks and no more noises. lol
