LOL as I'd take C or D in a heartbeat but my fiscal mindset rules out E all together.

Might be a terrible decision financially, Supra is going up in value and BMW almost always drops in value, but the community in this world is so much better than the community in the Supra world. Anyhow, to play along to this thread, 31 and I will soon have one of these beauties. I just have to finish a refinance, sell the Supra, and I will be set! The decision for me will be finding a GC Comp or just sticking with a M8GC, I just think the Comp will retain better value over the years. I've test drove 2 coupes (1 std & 1 comp) and 1 Gran Coupe and I'm truly in love. I really just need to be patient at this point, but I can't help but look over this forum everyday and the associated car sales pages. |

I think the M8 GC Comp is the best car in the segment by a longshot. |

I have driven quite a few different cars, I was recommended the GT350 by several people as a contender. I took one out for a drive and it was an extremely well built machine, but the interior just killed it for me. Plastic everywhere and it was still.. A ford.. The other cars I have thought would be a similar spec would be some Audi variants and Mercedes. I'm going for a 4-door as I have a 3 yr old and one about to turn 1 yr old and its just a huge help having something with a decent backseat, another reason the GT350 was a no-go. The Audi and Mercedes variants just didn't do it for me, with regards to looks, I'm sure the exhaust note and performance was up there? But, not at a point to where I would compromise. The only other car, that was somewhat right at what I would consider equivalent for my tastes, is the Ferrari FF. Backseat, gorgeous looks, exhaust note to match, and timeless. The problem on that car is the maintenance for a v12 exceeded even the M8 to me, I've had a Mercedes S600 before and it was in the shop for over half the time I owned it. I realize that I'm talking BMW here and I might be dancing around the same issue, but the v12 on that car played a lot into the issues it had, primarily with the supporting electronics. Anyhow, other then that, I was looking at M3 or even m5 variants and just figured if I could get one of those, why wouldn't I jump to the m8? It has the best of all their worlds and the looks on the m8 is just astounding! I will say though, the x6m is kind of holding a special place in my heart, still haven't taken one of those out. Quote:
Side note: I did look at Porsche Taycans, BEAUTIFUL car and fast as hell.. The lack of an exhaust note just kills it for me though, that mix of luxury and performance was out of this world. The leather, wood, controls, and displays on that car was next-gen and I would argue that its a step up from the m8. Not sure if thats a fair assessment between the two, given one is a BMW and the other is Porsche, but I feel at the price point the M8 is at that they should be at similar levels of luxury. |

So has anybody collated the results of this thread ? Deep down I know it to be the average age is about 30 and they make you amazingly attractive to all women especially very rich supermodels. That would make being an E all worthwhile

Well, not a G generation 8-series owner, but I've owned my E31 850i for 15 years now.
When my Imola red M5 is up for replacement, I think I will order an Imola red M850i Convertible, but I'm holding out for the LCI model. I'm 43, and I guess A for financial status.

It seems they're at least possibly adding an m performance package for the M850i, so if that's what your sights are on, likely still worth waiting for.

There are! Order guides are out, you could see them in this thread here: https://f92.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1798779
No pricing guides yet, but there are rumors that they're dropping the base and discounting the competition along streamlining the options/packages.

That said, the E31 never saw an LCI during its 9 year run, just some minor changes. I would probably go for an M-Package, living in Norway, these cars are very expensive and I'm not sure I will pay the extra that an M8 cost, cant use the extra power over here anyway. I did configure a M850i convertible at the BMW website, that came out at 233.000USD, with my desired options, but without the individual paint/interior I want. The M8 was 290.000USD for comparison. Just got to love those taxes.......
