The 911 is a sports car with different flavors of fast and handling, but it is not a cruiser. There is even more tire and road noise and no real trunk. All of this depends on where you place the importance, speed/handling over comfort/utility or vice versa. I love the 992 TTS, but I would rather save $100K, not have to deal with Porsche dealers, and have trunk where I can put my golf clubs. M8 is for certain people, just like 911 TTS for certain people. Unless you want to own multiple cars... |

I had an i8 with 5 other cars at one point. I liked it back in 2016 when I leased it but the novelty wore off quick and i parked it and let it collect an inch of dust and let my friends drive it around before turning it back in to BMW with very little miles. At least I got a tax deduction....

Fwiw I have owned 17 Porsche's thus far with many of them turbo's, there is nothing like them for straight line speed 0-100 and I used to handedly embarrass any and all challengers...the brakes were also some of the best. My air-cooled Kremmer was my favorite, when the engine was at redline it was so smooth it felt like the needle on the tach could go all the way around again. I was so hooked on the speed I actually traded a brand new Ferrari for another turbo after only a few months.

That 100k can buy a lot of mods for the BMW. That said, I have an order for a 992 new 911 turbo S cab in gentian blue; however, it's currently a 11 month wait for custom order. I love the m850i, but locked without an ECU tune; they lack the power of a natural 991 turbo S. |

My Turbo S didn't come anywhere in the same ballpark as the M5 did when it comes to ride (both lowered), aesthetics, infotainment and so on. My F90 ran a 9.8 with ONLY bolt on's. Still the fastest in the world from what I know.(Stock motor and turbos) Never had any issues with it. The car also handles amazing beats pretty much anything I come across. When said and done the M5 is about 100-130k less than the Porsche. Don't get me wrong, the Turbo S is a great car. The PDK is absolutely amazing. I actually have the 992 on order and arrives in 30 days. I agree both cars have their places but the M5/M8 is every bit as fast as a 991.2 Turbo S with only bolt on's. I have Dragy numbers on both. One thing I do agree on is that pushing much lower than a flat 10 second run in a M5/M8 without changing rods out is pushing the motor too much and risky. That's why I haven't touched turbos and happy with my 9.8 and will leave it at that. Family Sedan! Assuming you didn't need back seats and could only afford one of the two cars and the 100k difference didn't matter, I would take the M5/M8 all day because of how much more it has to offer. Now, if we are talking the 992 then things change a bit. That thing is even faster and I agree that those motors are bullet proof and can handle whatever you throw at them.

Nice...I think the 992 TTS with the new wheels looks great. Gentian blue is really, really nice too. It looks like a very Italian color in person.

Haha yes, I couldn't resist the temptation of the .2 Good points on the .1 vs the .2 platforms. And you are right sir. Both great cars!

i8's are kryptonite for dealers over here and they can't give them away so a lower price is realistic. Doesn't mean it's a better lease deal. |

As much as I pick on my M8, I will admit that it's an overall good car... especially if you can get 15-20% sticker. I ordered mine when they debuted and paid near sticker for mine.
If I could do it again, I probably would. Drives softer than the M5C, best looking BMW that BMW has ever put out (my opinion), and I don't think there is a better UI than iDrive (simple, intuitive, easy to use). When I factor in $ for $, I'd go S63 -- M8 has showed me I'm more of a GT car than a sport |
