🤦‍♂️ So this happened....

Congrats Bugger!

The 8 series are stunners IMO and their optional extras often seem to be ticked quite nicely!

Looking forward to some pictures and feedback on she she compares to the M550i. I wouldn't expect much difference though, maybe I am wrong.

Thanks man. Yeah I wasn't sure when the 8 first came out, I'm not a fan of the coupe, but the more I looked at the GC the more I liked it. And as you say, the spec list is well ticked. Has Bower's and Wilkins sound, which, according to the invoice, is a R70k option. But the rest of the spec list reads like a what's what of BMW extras. So I am quite taken aback at how well spec'd these are versus the M550i.

I am very interested to feel how different it will be, it's heavier than the 550, longer, wider, but active integral steering I think will make it feel a lot smaller and nimble than it's proportions lay out. My son is going to go wild. Another thing I noticed in all the vids I've watched is that it is a lot louder (externally and internally) than the 550 is and carries more of a V8 rumble. So another nice thing to compare. But super excited now.

Credit must go to @modocrat for giving me the reference in the first place, and then convincing me it was the right thing to do. I owe you a lunch!

Ok...if you REALLLLY say so...this is the same oke who just advised another person on the other thread (who wants to pay of their house by 2027) to sell the house and buy an R8
Good luck ekse, for all we know modocrat is such a top owe, but in this case he must jsut not be a Chicky Lamba and put you in the bush
