Congratulations Rogerthat00! I got impatient, cancelled my order last month and bought out of State. Ended up with a 5% discount and got my car 2 month sooner. Best of luck with your purchase. My original order is still in transit.

Congrats! Hopefully your break-in is complete.
I just turned 5K miles, and this vehicle is in the running for the best car I've ever owned (there have been lots). Its Jekyll and Hyde ability is incredible, and the relaxed confidence it inspires is phenomenal. Enjoy it!

B8
New to the forum. Just swapped my 20’ M8 for a 23’ B8. Sharing a few pics on the new one. (Sorry about the grey sky)

Had 10k on the m8 and literally less than 200 on this B8. It is a completely different feel so far. Much smoother (even on 21’s) but also a little quieter. Feels more luxurious compared to the aggressive m8. It’s early, so I will check back after a few trips.

Loving my B8 so far. It's a rocket but without the race car feel. It gets many stares and even photos taken. If you know you know

Stellar good looks. Practicality. Performance. Creature Comforts. Tech. Curbside appeal. I just dig the M front end over the Alpina. But definitely not a deal breaker. |

Lots of unique parts under hood. The charge coolers are bigger and full alum, trans cooler, cooling pipes but also uses m8 parts too such as the exhaust manifold.
Shame the didn't offer some of these upgrades on the m850 as a package. |
