8 series GC next to M5 Comp. Which one is YOU!

Hello Bimmer friends.
A friend and I decided to put our cars side by side
We both love our cars. We realized it's a personality and where you
are in life. But which car describes who YOU are!

M8 is more aggressive. Definitely stands out compared to the M5

8 series looks more modern, M5 needs a refresh. Both great cars though.

Could be Alex FL, but the power/weight ratio on that M5 comp is insane
I should also add that mine is not a full M. It's the m850i.

Yes, M5 Comp is a beast car, just needs an exterior (and hopefully also interior) refresh. Really curious to see the post-LCI 2021 model.

My 2020 M5 remains the fastest car I've ever owned. The M8C GC isn't far behind, though (think 0.02s to 60), and the carbon core gives it a stiffness advantage in the twisties. // don't go there, Vic.

The M5 was one of the fastest (under 3.0secs 0-60) regular production cars R&T ever tested as of 12/18
