Question for those who went from M4C/M5C to M8C
Did you feel any difference? I mean driving wise
Thanks |

Just turned in my m4. The m4 and m8 are completely different cars. I felt the m4 was a tuner car, for a much younger crowd. It was meant for the track. The m4 is much more raw, noisy inside the cockpit, rattles etc. but it was a blast to drive spirited
The m8 is a refine grand tourer. Still fun to drive and be very comfy. You get a different type of attention in it. As expected for a 160k price tag The m8 is more similar to the m5 |

Also huge difference between the I6 and the V8. The 8 has instant down low torque the 6 does not. But the M8 is way more luxurious than any 3/4 series vehicle

My m4 was a comp and I tune all my cars with full bolt ons.
But as I mentioned they are much different cars. Them8 is a sophisticated large coupe. Extremely fast, very comfortable and handles pretty damn well for being so large. It’s very quiet inside, allows me to conduct my business calls without telling my clients I’m driving and excuse the noise The m8 will get more looks than the m4 if that means anything to you. Doesn’t for me. Rather not draw the wrong attention Only thing I miss of the m4 is the size sometimes. Nice to rip around corners like a go cart. Can do something similar in the m8 but just larger but equally as planted. The m8 is a amazing car. No regrets |

Had M4 Comp then got M5. The M4 although obviously slower I enjoyed much more.
M4 felt like a go cart, steering feel, tossable. Dumped the M5 after 3 months and only put 399 miles on it. Wasn't my deal at all and the looks were too pedestrian

Neither lack for grip post almost exact 1/4 mile times, track times etc. I don't live in a bad weather state either

In past 911's, The 4S got you a lot, more options wider body, not in 992, just awd and 7300 lighter pocketbook LOL This is holding me over until August / sept 992 Turbo. That's the plan anyway

Still nothing like M4 Comp (not meant to be) but slightly better than M5 In terms of toss ability. Straight line performance was insane but again just wasn't that fun for me. For what I wanted didn't do the trick so left BMW for now For what they are M5 (sedan) and M8 (I like the coupe version) are amazing vehicles. I actually love the M8 has real presence but again driving wise was looking for sports car not a sporty GT :-)

I moved up from M4 Vert (F83) to M8 Comp. As I mentioned on some other thread, I did have a proper test drive before ordering an M8; now as I have it I enjoy it more and more everyday. It's just better in every direction, being both more faster (cornering speed as well) and far more comfortable.

Have forever had a passion for a 911 but ultimately had to scratch it off the list as at 6'6" I could never fit in one comfortably no matter how hard I tried (and believe me I tried ). Took a hard look at a Panamera 4S last year as I can fit comfortably in it but by the time I optioned it up to the equivalent of the M850i between the greater cost, lower performance and the overall look of the car I ordered the M850i.
