Why did it look like the hood was open at 2:18 on the m8

One thing in favor of M8's interior not mentioned is that unlike the Mercedes (and newer BMWs), the climate functions are operated by easier and safer to use physical controls, rather than putting them on the touchscreen.

The M8 has one of the best infotainments available. 1-8 physical buttons to store menus apps radio etc., physical climate buttons, m1 and m2 on the wheel

So these two high performers command premium prices, but the price gap between the BMW M8 Competition and Mercedes-AMG GT 63 is still steep. Where do you come down on the bottom line: Is the AMG worth all that extra coin? Let us know in the comments!

3:18 "Numbers aren't everything, so lets hit the track" so we can get more numbers. 😅

I own an M8. Sub 2.9 is the norm 0-60. What drive mode did you have it in? For the price it’s a no brainer. Winner!!

Had a 2019 m850i, 2020 M8 coupe, now a 2023 M8 coupe (white ex, alcantara dash;carbon bucket red/black seats). Looks super cool. 2023 ads a new exhaust sound and feels tighter and less harsh. Hard to beat and has a good demographic. Very rare and a lot of fun.
