I actually filmed this review back in September whilst away in Italy! I lost one of the main memory cards and figured the video would therefore never surface, I found the missing micro SD card over the weekend and decided to edit it, better late than never hopefully. Loved our 2500 miles and ten days with the BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe.
Thanks for watching as always, see you at at the next video!

@Grizzly Reaper Absolutely!!
I'd consider the M850i xDrive Gran Coupe simply because I'd rather have a panoramic sunroof than a carbon fibre roof. It suits the car better. Or hold off for the Alpina B8 Gran Coupé Allrad.
Stunning car, performance and looks. A lotto win = buy this car immediately and go for a long ass drive
This one is gorgeous with the red !!😍 In my opinion, all M sedans are gorgeous looking!! Anyone with me??
considering that this car has the performance of a supercar, the price is good value
“If you’ve got the money, and the looks of this melt your heart, go and buy one”. Sums up exactly how I felt about my M4 comp 🥰. I think a car should always be more than the sum of its parts, to its owner, or it’s an exercise in futility! Great video Joe 👍
What car reviews should all look like.... driving cars in amazing scenaries... keep up the good work Joe!!
The M850i is also a good alternative, it almost looks the same and is actually the best sounding 8 series.
Always love your intros. Just pure driving.
The best BMW car vlog channel on YT! Thx Joe for everything you do mate!
Another Great Video..so wish i had roads like that near me that i could film..i miss the M3cs but the M8 is keeping a smile on my face
I just got mine two weeks ago in Brands Hatch Gray, with burgundy interior and I absolutely adore it! Great video!
Hell of a car, hell of a video, hell of a view, hell of a bloke! Keep em coming matey loving the videos.
Huge fan on the looks of this car, especially the rear! Great video bud 😎🤛
Joe, your videos are leveling up 👌🏽 Nice one bruv. Keep it up.
Hands down the best looking BMW to date and performance to boot. Instant classic 👌
Production is great on this video Joe. A real step up!

Great review sir!! This and the 760lim are my favourite BMW at the moment .
not a BMW fan, but this car is mental!! unbelievable
Definitely the best looking bmw. This is the car that bmw should have their other line up to follow suit design wise.
Love that colour the wheels that boot lid 😂 the whole car looks amazing
Love that Joe’s into biking
Stunning car and the external colour and interior colour combo is sweet!!
Great review, as usual. Very nice colour that could/should be considered for the M3 to come...
Thanks Joe! A great review. Just ordered one today.

That interior is 😍. What a dream it would be to live inside that car. Which you’d have to as it’s the price of a three bed semi in Hull 😂

Did the Jauffenpass/Passo di Giovo at least 10 times on my motorbike, however still didn't manage to enjoy it with the Porsche... looking forward to that day 🤩

Joe.. I remember when the first one was delivered to the dealership and when I saw it , I said to myself that’s the best looking car in there lineup 😉
The first minute colors have been ASMR
Great video again Joe, and I agree with you. Its a lovely looking car, but I prefer the M5 Competition.

Nice video! I’d like to see more oversteerings, eh eh eh! Said that, testing M8, I was disappointed about ZF8, not as quick and responsive (in downshifts) as an M-gear is supposed to be. What do you think?
Joe sometimes I wish I could super like your Vids like I once use to do on tinder every now and again 🤣🤣🤣🤣
capolavoro assoluto,che spettacolo di macchina!
Definitely my favorite new bmw m car.
Great stuff man! May I know what sunglasses were you wearing?
Absolutely worth it. I'm going to get an F90 M5 recently because I don't have that much money so I want the most HP and luxury for the price. But the M8 series look so good and even perform better. If I'm super rich I'm definitely going to get the M8GC.
Stunning looking motor, 4 series Daddy. BMW designer are doing well for the first time in years! PS Where in Italy is that Road? Looks sensational !
Certainly got the looks,thanks.
We've done pretty much everything in it.....😜👊 Great video as always
Hey Joe how's the ride across the different modes compared to the M5 Competition?
In that colour it looks 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤩
I love this car - and could be a future classic. We are going to see less and less cars like this as governments push for electric and hybrid.

Really great review Joe. Honest appraisal of a bloody expensive, but stunning car. Not that I could afford it, but I wouldn't pick that car for the fuel economy alone, (yes picky I know) but let's face it, you could pass anything on the road, except a petrol station. The panamera Hybrid, or the RS6, with it's cylinder deactivation would mean more bang for your buck. But also more time behind the wheel and not the pump.
Nice car however I look forward to the review of the new m3 2021 against the new m4 gran coupe which hasn't been announced yet 👍
Wow! That is one incredible looking car.
Of course it is ! A good looking 4 seater with a 4.4l v8 , a very nice interior and a 0-100km/h in 3.0 sec
Should be playing "On days like These" by Matt Munro (From the original Italian Job opening sequence). Very good looking car and very jealous of you being in Italy as this is my favourite country.
My 2006 BMW e90 320si sounds exactly the same as this, and I’m pretty sure it would give this a good run for the money especially on the corners.
The normal coupe look better without a doubt but this one is pretty cool also. A dream car for sure!
Thanks Joe for a great comparison. I had an M6 Grand Coupe and now have an M5 Competition you nailed my thoughts on the 2 cars to a T. Grand coupe just special to look at, a really pretty car. The M5 looks tougher but after driving them both the M5 just represented much better value for money, and while all cars depreciate the M6(now discontinued) and the M8(looks like the 6 series replacement) here in Australia get completely smashed on resale. This car is just under $400K here new. Is this crash in resale for the 8 series same in the UK?

Ive just PX my M850 in for the M8 as I just wanted one retail cost with ultimate package and I purchased it with the Carbon bucket seats I pick mine up tomorrow
The best car KZreadr 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 and no it’s not 😉 great driving mind
So, now you've driven both, how to you compare this to the AC Shnitz AC8 Sport?
Unlike Porsche, BMW offers cars with similar power and straight-line performance to its M Competition cars in much cheaper packages. It`s just very hard to justify the M8 Comp over the M850i Gran Coupe and the M5 Comp over the M550i. Same goes for the M5 versus the M8. When the 440xi Gran Coupe comes out, it`ll be a fraction of the price but still be very quick on the street.

Some fair comments and I have not driven M5 or M8 for that matter but have gone through the 2 series..220D then the M240i and now the M2C. The biggest difference in the full fat M car is the road handling. Yes you may not notice the straight line speed between the M240i and the M2C but put it on a twisty UK road and its night and day. Dont get me wrong the 240i is probably a better choice for 80% of the time.
It should actually sound better and a bit louder/ more brutal than the RS competitors according other comparisons I've seen. Compared to E63s and M5/M8 comp, the RS6/RS7 have the worst sound in my opinion. Although none of the new models have a really good sound. Well aftermarket exhausts could do the job and improve the sound quality and make them more 'bassy' or so..
Joe! Try if you can to get your hands on the new Alpina B3, a review on it would be cool! 😁
Hi Joe. Please could you tell me where exactly you drove and filmed? Which area/region or pass? Planning a trip in Northern Italy so could go try myself :)

Will it stand the best of time wrt to design? Saw one a few weeks ago, just didn't have the wow factor imho. It's predecessor, the BMW 8 series (840i & 850i) of the early 90s still look gorgeous.

Hey Joe, nice review but a little confusing too. Sounds like you love the car one moment then hates it the next, lol. Just thought I'd point out the fact that every negative you mentioned comes with the nature of this beast. This car, to my mind, at least, is a heart purchase. This is what you get if BMW follows form over function. There'd be always compromises. It's to be celebrated imo.
That's a flex. Just 2 options ticked ,adds £22k to the list price👍

Cracking location!
I don't usually like red paint, but damn that's gorgeous.
Would be interesting to see how this compares to the Aston Martin Rapide.
Yeah, this comes second to M5 in the looks department. I just need to borrow the crystal shifter from this one and put it in M5.
You and you girlfriend did everything in it? 😉😂 I just had to... sorry lol Great video as usual, cheers.
What an intro!
