Anyone compared these? I'm in a panamera turbo s -ehybrid right now and am selling it. There are no E63s or M8GC to compare near me. So I just have to do my research online and then buy one from somewhere else and have it shipped to me. Can I get your thoughts? Also looking at a 911, but that doesn’t really compare with these. Looking to stay in that $130-150k range. Thank you

My previous car was 2018 E63s. Now I have M8 convertible.
Very different cars. E63s sounds like a muscle car, very rigid ride, has all electronics gadgets and overall I liked it a lot. Major complaint from people was very stiff suspension.
M8 is more refined drive, less noise but faster! M8 doesn't offer massage seats and it's only option I missed if it matters.
so to me E63s is a hooligan on the road and M8 is a hidden hooligan by demand.

That’s interesting. I thought I saw some reviews where they said the M8 gran coupe was pretty rigid even in comfort mode. Good to hear. Yeh I hear ya about the massage seats lol! I’m gettin old!

Even with the facelift which had a softened suspension,, my E63s has far stiffer suspension than my M8c.

But the M chassis seem a lot stiffer built than the AMG. Much much less rattles etc in my M vs the AMG (which spent 2 plus months at the dealership over the course of 2byeara addressing squeaks and rattles).

M8 is certainly faster stock to stock. Not wanting to do a femto unlock, my tuned E might remain a slight bit faster than my Racechipped M

Thank you for your feedback! Have you ever driven a panamera or 911? Curious how they all compare. Which (between the e63 and m8) corners better?
Thanks again and welcome anyone's thoughts

The Panamera is the closest to the M8 in terms of cornering. I'll put them both neck to neck in everyday handling .
The Panamera however has a much more compliant suspension than the M. M8 is definitely faster.

Between the 8 and E, I'll say the 8 feels much better than the E in corners. The E is a heavy ass sob and feels like it in slow turns.

Thank you! Can anyone with a gram coupe conpare how they perform in corners? Thanks!

Are you not happy with the panamera turbo s hybrid? I thought it's "superior" to the GTS. Out of the three I will probably get a E63s because it has the most character (bonus point if it's a wagon). I'd only consider the panamera if it's spec'd closely to my taste. M8GC doesn't feel that much special and frankly I will just get a M850i
