My New M8 Competition ~ PHOTO HEAVY

Ended up pulling the trigger and purchasing the new 2020 M8 Comp. Same color combo as my F13 M6, I'll get a nice photo shoot of the M8 soon as well as another shoot with the M6 & M8 together! Mods are coming soon!









& My M6

Definitely looking forward to seeing the two of them side by side and some driving impressions around the gearbox and engine performance if you could?

Making me sad I didnt do the same
I was going to special order brilliant white metallic but the $5000 and 6 more weeks was a deal breaker.

Thank you fellas!!

@noushy love the color of your M8 almost got the same color!

I love the traction on the M8 over the M6. The 4WD system is amazing! Transmission wise it is a HUGE upgrade over the DCT in the M6, after driving a bit aggressively with the M6 there would be a little lag or delay. Especially on track days..

Thank you, after the break in period I plan on doing DME Tuning Tune & Downpipes. Looking into exhaust options, going to lower, add some nice cosmetic carbon goodies, not sure about what wheels i'd want to go with cause I kinda like the stock so might run spacers for awhile. Pretty much going like the M6... simple'ish..

I love everything about the car except the Wheels. They are busy AF for my tastes and for this particular car.

But stunning in every other aspect! Enjoy!
