What are your overall impressions of the car? I'm curious based on your garage lineup.

Maybe it just seems like a lot of us here have either an m850i or m8 in an individual color.
Cause y'all gots the money 💰 🤣

The GC M8 looks like 8m long on the photo (it's 5.1m in real life)

So far, so good, and as expected. It is not a sports car for me, but an ultimate middle aged man car.

I traded an amg gt c for it and am glad I did. This car is faster, more usable, has better technology, etc. It does sound and look worse, however. But I bought the amg based on emotion caused by the looks and sound, and regretted it soon after the purchase. Aside from the looks and sound, I didn't enjoy driving it or using it.

This is excellent! Just a bit brighter than Interlagos. A contender for my next M3.

Which dealership is this ?
