M850i Gran Coupe - BMW does Muscle

Salut tout le monde !

Je dois Essai d'une BMW M850i Gran Coupe et est tombé complètement en amour avec elle. C'est une grande barge douce avec un V8 grogneur et féroce. Donc, tout à fait différent de l'E90 M3s j'aime aussi, mais une arme parfaite pour terroriser un onramp autoroute.

Grâce à son allure fanfaronne et méchante, je me sens comme les balançoires de la série 8 haute puissance chez AMGs comme l'E63. J’ai aimé la façon dont la M850i pouvait donner la priorité au confort de conduite, car BMW a la M8 pour défendre les temps au tour. Pas qu'une voiture aussi lourde soit le meilleur outil de piste, de toute façon.

Vous aimez la série 8 ? C'est une saveur différente de celle d'une M3, mais toujours délicieuse pour moi!

Best,
Mike

J'aime beaucoup la série 8, mais malheureusement je n'ai pas eu l'occasion d'en conduire une. Vos commentaires positifs sont également encourageants. La petite amie vient d'avoir un X5 alors je me suis rendu compte que je n'avais plus besoin d'un suv... La série 8 a commencé à avoir l’air plutôt bien.

Ils sont assez amusants. C'est l'événement que j'ai fait. Je ne vois pas d'événement dans l'Oregon cet automne, mais il y a un événement à Seattle si vous êtes prêt pour une sortie en voiture. L'astuce est d'arriver à la première chose le matin afin que vous puissiez obtenir dans un tas de tests avant que quelqu'un d'autre n'apparaisse!

That sounds like a blast. I'll have to see if dates line up for me

I leased an M8. Thought it would replace my e92. I was soooo wrong. The e92 is so much better I ended up dumping the M8 after less than a year of ownership and took a financial hit. I have a comprehensive write up about it in this section.

Any chance you could point me to the writeup? Tried to search for it but wasn't able to find it.

Just scroll down a bit. The thread title is: M8 Competition.

enjoyed the read - another great writeup!

I've been getting interested in a M550i for the concept of something primarily comfortable but decisively quick - short commutes to the office and bay area traffic have taken away some of the joy of the E92. though I don't think I will commit wholly in that direction, it's good to see that your M850i impressions align pretty well with what I thought it'd be like.

the 4700lb weight is notable though - does it feel 600lbs different from the m850i 2-door?

It was a year between my M850i coupe and gran coupe drives, so I can't really compare the weight. My guess is that both cars are going to feel heavy coming out of an E92.

BTW, I drove a 540i M Sport recently and thought that was a great sleeper. Given how fun the 540i was, I think the M550i could be a hoot as a commuter.

Longboarder How was the ride quality on the M8? Stiff or wafting?

I have it in my head that these big modern M cars ride firm, but maybe I'm wrong!
