The 8 series needs to be unique and elegant with no corner cutting to save money...and sprinkled with electrical gremlins

What a video, what a review. Well done carfection team. And thank you for making it free.

Yes Henry, yes! Fake exhausts, the biggest plague to the current car industry. Hate it.

[Lucas-ckpo]

Guys... imagine for a second...
An 8 series with the v12 from the m760li, a manual six speed and rear wheel drive... heaven but it wont happen

Really appreciate the actual criticism of the interior, the amount of technology, and fake exhausts. Thank you for doing a real review, instead of a 10 minute ad.

This channel, and Doug DeMuro's, is all I need for my car fix. (Harry's Garage is also damn good too, car channel for grownups.)

The Rapha T-Shirt makes the presenter even more likeable. Good chap! Excellent reviews you've been putting out recently. Love from Germany!

The sound is what I'm gonna miss the most when cars go electric.

Few better ways to start the morning than good coffee and videos like this.

The exhaust ain’t fake, they just have big surrounds but there is an exhaust there.

[leobuckey]

It looks uncomfortably mustangish at 1:07

Just need Waze, something to listen to a podcast through, and for long journeys, adaptive cruise. Thats it for tech for me.

Complete waste of money. Price will drop like a bomb once you buy it and if anything goes wrong, it will cost an absolute fortune to fix. If you have that kind of money, buy a used entry level McLaren and you would get so much more for your money. Great review as always though Henry!

[thefridgeman]

Henry is sooo good that even buses reviews are entertaining!

[aaronming]

I rather have fake exhausts tips than fake exhaust noise from the speakers.

[yeetusdeletus]

I'd much rather have an lc500 tbh. it looks a lot better and is much more striking on the road compared to this, the interior in the Lexus is much nicer, and its probably infinitely more reliable

[doddsy]

Nailed it with the tech question mate, all I want is to be able to stream my music, take a call and easy to use sat nav.

I always enjoy Henry Catchpole's laid back, but informative and totally unbiased reviews. I really like the 8-series' looks. It sounds like a good drive too, but I wish BMW made a bit lighter. A sporty GT coupe shouldn't weigh as much as a full sized Super Saloon like the M5, which it does. Also, being as big as it is, the 8 to be roomier in the back. But that aside, I really like the new 8.

Brilliant reviews - well done! From the outside at least, the car looks beautiful.

[argentum]

As long as the exhaust gas is actually exiting from the exhaust tips, these aren't fake!
