My brother's M8 Coupé Comp. order is in!

Hi All Guys,

usually, I write in other sections of the thread, but as now both me and My brother are waiting for our cars (Mine is a G80 Comp. AWD) I'm here to present my brother's configuration for his M8, due to arrive in april.

He ordered as from the title a wondeful M8 comp. coupé, fully spec'ed, in brands hatch exterior, carbon pac, carbo cermic brakes, and sakir Orange + black accents full leather interiors, alcantara headliners etc etc.

He already put a lot of optionals, but do you have any advice to tell me as we can add something else before the order goes into production?

Bowers & Wilkins audio without question. Also, make sure the car has the European option package which includes Surround 3D View cameras on the undersurface of the two side mirrors.

for me personally, make sure it has the top B&W sound system and full drivers assistance packages.

also fully loaded is a great way to go. I'm finding it very time consuming to add parts aftermarket in a pandemic

That’s my car, BH Gray over Sakhir, with pretty much everything except carbon ceramic brakes.

Do you have an expectation of the delivery date on your G80 AWD? I hadn’t heard anything about them expect it would be summer 2021 (in the USA anyway).

I think full leather and at least the basic "Driving Assistance Package" (with the surround view cameras) are the biggest "must haves". You already get the full leather with the comp package, and whether you go for the Driving Assistance or Driving Assistance Pro is more of a personal decision. I like the Pro in my X7, but the M8 serves a different purpose and I could make the argument for myself either way there. I would use it occasionally, but I'd also be annoyed when I find myself traveling at or below the speed limit on a highway because I became complacent with the ACC on.

If money is no object, the only one that could make a difference depending on how you drive would be the ceramic brakes, and you already listed those.

Aside from that, you have:

1. Night vision - Will he use it? I suppose it just depends on where he lives.
2. M carbon Exterior - Is it worth it to him? Marginal weight savings isn't something he's likely concerned with, so just more of a visual thing and he might like aftermarket options better anyway.
3. Alcantara headliner (in interior color) - You mentioned this, but sakhir/black would just be black anyway, which is the standard option for the car, so no change here either way.
4. B&W Sound - Does he care? Honestly, sound is completely off 90% of the time in my M car. It makes enough music for me, and if I'm listening to anything, it's talk radio while on a longer drive. Funny story... I've been a working musician (obviously not my main job based on my transportation choices) for most of my natural born life, I suppose that just means my ears are shot. I do appreciate the pretty lights, though.
5. M driver's Package - Possibly going to be the only way to take off the limiter without voiding a power train warranty now, does that matter to him?

B&W go big or go home!

If I got my M8 without B&W and I later saw the aesthetic upgrade it adds to the interior, I would return it immediately and order another one with B&W.
