AutoExec Summary
BMW takes the number 8 seriously, with models like the Z8, i8, and the new 8 Series showcasing top-tier performance and luxury. The M850i, a grand tourer with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, offers impressive speed and advanced features. Its all-wheel-drive system, adaptive suspension, and luxurious interior make it a superb GT. However, it shares many features with cheaper BMW models, and CarPlay requires a paid renewal. The 8 Series stands out for long drives but lacks the unique charm of competitors like the Porsche 911 and Aston Martin DB11.
Brands mentioned: BMW, Porsche, Aston Martin, Mercedes-AMG.
