"This allows the driver to choose between a comfort-oriented perception of the braking process and a particularly direct, instantaneous response to applications of the pedal"
Unusual direction by BMW product planners and engineers. Consistent brake feel is essential for safety because in emergency situations muscle memory takes over. The driver will not have time to first determine which mode the brakes are subject to. Again - very unusual ... |

Anecdotally, I have noticed that in traffic the braking is smoother and less grabby in Comfort mode than in Sport mode on my G20 330i. I thought I was imagining but I'm now wondering if this is something that's designed in even if there is no specific brake feel adjustment.

This new M8 has a "semi brake by wire" system in that the link between the brake pedal and master/central brake actuator is fully electronic (wires & electronic signals) but from there, the link between the master brake actuator and the individual brake calipers at each wheel is hydraulic with electronic controls.
In a truly full brake by wire system, the link from the brake pedal all the way to the individual brake calipers at each wheel is fully electronic/digital. That would mean that the brake pads on the brake calipers would have to be activated by electric motors rather than hydraulic pressure. Believe me, though such a system is not ready for "prime time" yet, things are definitely heading in that direction. |

I saw the Gran Coupe running around Garmisch last week, it looks really good even in camo. The duck bill like spoiler was immediately noticeable from the side profile view.

Adjusting brakes is for track use.
M8 is shaping up to be one of BMWs best cars IMO. |

Can’t wait to drive it and hope it will not be just a coupe version of the M5. |

Hopefully, the M8 is going to be more impressive on the street than the M8 GTE has been at the track the last two seasons.

I think this is a Bosch system they are using.

Not the same actually. The 5 double spoke 'star' that sits on the top level is quite similar on both wheel designs: outwards converging spokes on both. However the 5 double spoke 'star' that's beneath it differs: slightly outwards diverging spokes on the M8C, versus outwards converging spokes on this design.

2 identical tachs. What a stupid idea. I know bmw tried their hardest to look different than Mercedes and Audi's centre rounded tach. But why? Rounded tach at in the middle is supercar setup. It is good. BMW tried to be different but failed epically.

They're still sorting out the EPS after how many years and updates? I don't understand when you have other companies like Porsche who seem to have come very close to what hydraulic steering was.

Artificial braking feel? Uhh....just design it properly from the outset. Heres and idea BMW, why not forget all this electronic braking nonsense and give us proper fixed callipers all round on what are supposed to be your performance cars!!

This system could be very good, but we'll have to see. I share your concern that it might not be that great on the first attempt. |
