Of course it's not as fast as your 850i, but boy is it great to throw it in a curve and accelerate. Just a fab car.
If I could afford to have 2 cars, I'd have a 7 Series & 8 Gran Coupe. If I could afford to have 1 car, it would be the 7 Series. If you are sore from working out, it's so much more comfortable. If you want to haul friends in the backseat, it's infinitely more comfortable in the 7. I prefer luxury, hence the 7, but the 8 is truly fun to drive.
Ultimately, my biggest complaint about the 8 Series is the interior finishings. For the price of these cars, it should have more wood than a 3 Series and it doesn't. It should offer massaging seats, and it doesn't. And there should be more backseat legroom. Still, a great car.
You get used to driving the big car really fast, and I've never had one before.

I have the exact same complaints about the 8, but it is still a great car. Thanks for the feedback.
