This week I got behind the wheel of a 2021 BMW M850i coupe, and boy oh boy was thing a blast to drive! While the Porsche 911 commands your attention and feels like an occasion, this German beast asks nothing of you but to take a seat (in exceptionally comfortable seats) and GO! While I must admit, I do love a car that requires your attention, and recognize that this is a dying art form in the automotive industry... there's something so satisfying about a big and luxurious Grand Tourer. Especially when that GT happens to pump 523 horses out of a twin-turbo V8 :)
I loved the driving position in the M850i, as well as all the creature comforts it offered as opposed to its predecessors... I just happen to think that: Burly V8 + Heavy + Leather/Comfort = Muscle Car !!
Call me crazy, but this was a refined Camaro, not a heavy 911... they stem from two completely different philosophies, and likely polarize consumers. If you enjoy the light and playful nature of a rear engine Porsche, you might find the M850i, regardless of its power, to be obese. If you believe the Porsche to be unsubstantial and too "go karty" then the M850i is the 'sporty' coupe for you!
