Seniorleb Lieutenant   537Rep 558Posts Drives: 2018 SO M4 ZCP Join Date: Apr 2016 Location: Dubai iTrader: (0) |  Should I get an M850i to replace my M4 Competition? In this video, I will talk about the possibility of the NEW 2019 BMW M850i to be the right candidate for my next car and to replace my BMW M4 Competition Package! I believe this is the most beautiful BMW Car ever. The M850i offers style and elegance, with immense power and a degree of practicality, so what do we think? The BMW M850i with a 4.4l TwinPower Turbo V8, making 530hp and 750nm which means 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in a staggering 3.7 seconds thanks to the xDrive all wheel drive system. __________________ My YouTube Channel: Seniorleb https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgv...HbMr3D14dG0-EA https://www.instagram.com/seniorleb/?hl=en |

mkoesel Moderator  7544Rep 19,368Posts Drives: No BMW for now Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Canton, MI iTrader: (1) | I'll give you my honest opinion formed by observing enthusiast behavior on this forum over the past decade-plus. Generally speaking, for current BMW M vehicles owners, "almost M" products are not good vehicle choice candidates. This is particularly true if: a) The intention is to keep the vehicle for an extended period of time b) The model family of the vehicle in question has an M version to be released very soon I say this because, while buyers remorse can result from a number of factors, anecdotally, it is under these conditions where I see a very high rate of occurrence. I think a good exercise to go through is to ask yourself how you will feel when an M8 pulls up next to you later this year. Unless you can honestly say you won't immediately wish you had waited for the M8, you are quite possibly headed toward a redo with a five-figure price penalty. |

I agree, but listen let me tell you something. In Dubai the M3/M4 market is flooded with imports from US and EU and pushing the cars aftersale too low. Trading the cars also is a big loss especially the first 2 years. The M850i is on a different league of the 4 series. The M4 is more sporty, more aggressive and more fun for sure. The M8 will be epic but it will take another year or more to reach here, we have no info about it yet. Thanks for your honest feedback mate like always. you are a moderator for a reason big respect to you __________________ My YouTube Channel: Seniorleb https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgv...HbMr3D14dG0-EA https://www.instagram.com/seniorleb/?hl=en |

My post was dual purpose: 1) Suggesting you get the M850i, it would be a nice move from an M4 Comp. Package 2) A slight "dig" at a comment you made earlier about ///Mxxx model cars. Hope that makes sense.. Yes, we agree... the M850i exhaust sounds very very good! In fact, it sounded better than the prototype M8, IMO And once again, give the M850i a try, nice change of pace, before M8 arrives. __________________ Current: 2020 M340i Previous: 2016 M4 Sakhir Orange Not too distant future: ///M3 or ///M5 (ED) |

What do you prioritize in your cars? Handling and driving dynamics for fun? Or luxury/comfort and a really fast straight line speed for fun? If it is the first keep the M4. If not get a M850 or something like it. |

| Mr Friese Second Lieutenant 195Rep 213Posts Drives: 2011 M3 Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: Baltimore iTrader: (0) | I might be in the minority, but I actually really like the M850i. Yes it's an "almost" M car, but we're not talking about a M340 here either. This does get a V8, top-notch interior etc. so it doesn't give off that faux M vibe like some others do. The only thing that might give me some pause is the size, but that comes down to personal preference really. |

True "M" is about top-notch performance, not interior luxury materials.. In other words it's a faux M, no matter how you slice it. __________________ Current: 2020 M340i Previous: 2016 M4 Sakhir Orange Not too distant future: ///M3 or ///M5 (ED) Last edited by BigSky702; 04-13-2019 at 01:39 PM.. |

maniz Assistant TO the Regional Manager  619Rep 728Posts Drives: 2018 M4 Coupe Join Date: Mar 2014 Location: Denver iTrader: (0) | The styling is indeed beautiful but I detest M-wannabe models to the extreme so you can guess my thoughts on the subject. But then again every "Do you think I should buy..." thread is moot anyway because it only pretends to offload decision-making to complete strangers. I am you will decide what works best for you.

Throttleblip First Lieutenant   428Rep 394Posts Drives: BMW M4 ZCP 2016 Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: usa iTrader: (0) | I would have never considered it until a drove it in Thermals track about a month and half ago. It feels light due to rear steering, it has so much grip and it is so fast. And yes it is one of the most beautiful cars bmw has ever made. After driving it and seeing just how competent it is, it's hard to believe that their still going to introduce the M8. There is absolutely no way yo can take the 850 to its limits on the road... it is just that good. Yes, between the ZCP and the 850, I'd choose the 850, or would wait for the new M4 with its MXdrive. |
