No--you're saying "opinions"--a common archetype on these forums but, nonetheless wrong and, still, very different things.

I am cute--my mum and my wife both say so.

// let's not forget the pointless "lol", so lol

As for what I drive... jeez, it's a fucking car forum, look it up ya pleb.
Lol cuz I'm laughing at u. Yes I could only imagine u and ur new m8 doing 0-60 off a light with the rs6 speed demon right beside u. Yea sure there bud bud. And I'm sure u do that daily and ur an awesome driver. M8 is not a drivers car. Gt4 is. M8 is for older dudes to brag to their buddies how much money they have or how much hp they have h set the hood. Or bad ass mf like u that race them daily "lol"
I'm in my mid 30's and have an M8 on order. Most of the above 60's surgeons at my wife's job drive Porsche GT's. Get the point?
Still doesn't matter. I still have yet to see drag races of any of those two cars in real life or pushing over 80mph on the highway against each other. Still haven't seen it. Very rare occasion was my point. But I guess where u live it's a daily occurrence cuz u so strongly disagree with me.
Where I live in Texas u don't see drag races all the time but every now and then u see a few American muscle car, BMW M, GT, AMG drivers etc. doing rolling races or stop light races. Not all the time but you definitely see them. I have done a few myself.
See u missed my point which I thought I was pretty clear about , u mentioned cars that I didn't. I specifically was speaking about the cars shown in that video. How many times did u Personally seen any of those cars and exact models, new, drag race against each other ???
And even if u have, I said it's a very rare occurrence in real life. U can argue all u want my friend , and hey maybe in Texas is what these guys that own those cars do. But in my experience and option here in Toronto , I don't see it . That's all I said
I don't think I ever got your point Sir. But let's just pretend I did!

Can confirm. Took a road trip to Toronto last fall and people drive like total pussies. Too much maple syrup in their blood I suppose.

I know for fact bc I see his posts that limeypride does a ton of draggy testing on his own and safely. I am more of the bloozemanAZ type, I like the exit ramps and hwy driving when no one is around stretching the cars legs out. I will say I never race from a dig at a stoplight it's just too dangerous.

When I lived in Cali there was a big faction of drivers with all diff makes who went to "Mexico" in the wee hours of the night and did side by side racing 60-130 and the like

I see both points, however I do find these drag races interesting.

Outside of the name calling and suggestions of driver profiles we are all here for discussing so appreciate different view points. I don't even currently own a BMW, have owned many but really enjoy bimmerpost and the ppl on it.

I wish 6speedonline was still a thing so I could get the vast knowledge on this board for a Porsche again

I have an M8 convertible that i daily drive and i do stop light races at least few times a week with M5s and other M8s or amgs at nighttime
I do launch control at least once every other day just to enjoy it and get better 0 to 60 times
I do not track my car because vertibles are not made for that

I couldn't care less how relevant some people think a drag race video like this is. For me it's good fun to watch and it does show some performance strengths and weaknesses of the cars.
There are also plenty of vids of the M8 doing rather well on a road course/track. The Germans do a lot of relevant testing on their tracks and the M8 does beat strong competitors.

Have to look again but isn't the M8 the fastest or one of the fastest production BMW's on any race track?

The M850/M8 are an excellent blend (just right in my opinion) of sport/ speed/comfort, and never pretend to be anything more or less...

So yes it is expensive and yes although I do not have a lot of launches under my belt the bottom line is I literally DILYSI on a daily basis.

Well, they can't take what I have.
Besides, the new car design is getting more and more out of control.
