I disagree. H&k is superior and I was sort of shocked the B&W was such a let down. I blame the bluetooth connector which is the same cheap Chinese crap you'd find in a base subUru

Was planning to get the M8C coupe after our E63s but have to see how this car is discounted within the next 3-6 months.
I just can't see the money. $15-20k more than M5C yes, but $170k+ for an M8C with CCB's? Actually can't put my finger on it why. Nice specs but it just looks too much like every other BMW. Clearly subjective but for the money it should stand-out more. I feel our GTC roadster does stand out from the sea of other Mercedes models and it's nice and wide. ![]() |

Curious as to why you'd want an M8 Coupe when you already have the GTC, seems like the sedan + roadster combo is the best of both worlds over a coupe and roadster.

Strangely enough, the E63s is our winter beater ![]() Wife is no fan of SUV's and dislikes wagons otherwise the E63s wagon would be ideal. The M8C should be good in the winter as well. Other cars considered... Porsche Taycan (on list but wait too long and price too high - to me at least for a 1st. ten EV) M5C - Awesome car but am not passionate for the design RS6-7 Not here yet. |

Electric cars sure are quick in a straight line but thats not the only metric that matters. I just feel the trouble with making electric cars is that they in a sense lack a soul/personality that any ICE car has. I just watched a Carfection review of the Taycan, and the reviewer, Henry Catchpole, who loves Porsches and sports cars seemed depressed and bored driving it because it lacks those features that us car enthusiasts love. Maybe in reality for us the Taycan will feel more alive, but with electric cars it just seems hard to capture the spirit. I plan on someday, maybe sooner or later get a Tesla, but I want one more for just everyday driving and traffic, they have no allure for me to really drive them in a way I drive my M2 if you know what I mean.

I will say though, bluetooth is very bad for music. No aux port in the car? |
