Newbie, loving my new M8. [Pics]
Waddup all,
Been trolling this forum for months. Finally pulled the trigger on a 2022 M8 w 5K miles. Lots to learn. First impressions are this beast is stunning. I am a Corvette enthusiast and a wrench turner. I look forward to learning more about this amazing machine here. It was a picture day today. Not pictured is my Macan Turbo, white on red, also an amazing beast.

I don't recognize it but it's worth the shot as although there are a lot of what looks to be a Skyscraper/Sakhir spec the carbon fiber buckets are somewhat rare. They are a bit polarizing as people either love them or hate them (guessing you're on the former side). I'm on the fence as went with a buddy in a test drive in a M3 he was considering with them. I could go with them but I also know it's a no go option as the wife will be on the hate them side of the equation as she already bitches about getting in/out of my M850i with the standard seats. 😜 Ultimately my guess is for the second fob you'll need to pick one from a BMW dealership. BMW changed the rules so although the former go to option of Bimmertech for a better price they can't sell them anymore. Good luck 👍 |

Awesome.
I'm picking up a low mileage 2020 M8 convertible this wkend. Coming from C5 & C7 Corvette convertibles, but I don't like the C8 convertible's looks with the humps, & Jaguar F-Type R convertible. Really looking forward this M8's 600 hp for me & luxury creature comforts for the wife... |

Nice, congrats, start a new thread w pics
 . Are you on corvetteforum.com? I have over 10K posts on there since 2001. I was thinking about a C8 vert, but I have already been through an amazing Vette experience w mods, shows etc. Wanted to try something different and my little one, 1st grader of 3 boys can ride w me and he loves saying BMW. All my boys can ride w me. Plus I dont miss the Chevrolet dealership experience at all .Last edited by Humy; 12-19-2023 at 10:09 PM.. |

Cool. Yes, I'm same name on corvetteforum for my C5 & C7 verts.
Drove up to Dallas to pick up my 2020 M8 vert this past wkend, to drive back down to Houston. Only 2,388 miles, so virtually almost brand new.... |

As an aside observation, it doesn't look like your hood is fully closed on the left side (from the head on view) |
