It&#8217;s fantastic but not on the same level as Bentley or Rolls Royce. Catchpole says the car still shares a bit too much with the BMW 3-Series to rise to the level of luxury that BMW claims the car is at. <strong>We&#8217;d have to sit in one in order to agree with him.<\/strong> One thing Catchpole points out is the wide array of buttons pretty much everywhere in the cabin. Catchpole feels there are simply too many of them.<\/p>\n<p>With the interior covered he moves on to the way the car drives. Catchpole says the M8 &#8220;feels fast but not terribly furious, I suppose.&#8221; <strong>The M8 Competition sounds more like a smooth and quick machine rather than a hard-edged racer<\/strong>, and that&#8217;s exactly what we were hoping for from BMW.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"BMW M8 Competition: Road Review | Carfection 4K\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gONmBi4i9sQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"BMW M8 Competition: Road Review | Carfection 4K\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gONmBi4i9sQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bavarian Touring at Its Best The BMW M8 Competition was revealed earlier this year.
