X3MC or M8C...

Oldgixxer · 02-25-2023, 09:39 AM

I've been enjoying this '23 M8C loaner since Thursday...doesn't go back til at least Monday evening. Not the best looking car IMO,especially w the nasty brown interior BUT it'll do for a few days I suppose

The X3 has been ignored and will continue to be ignored until this goes back,especially after hearing that cold-start w the flaps open

How did you get a m8 loaner lol.
Last time I got a loaner it was a 3 series with 6 dents in it and every wheel curbed.

X3m looks better but the m8 is a beast

It's all fun and games until that s63 bends a rod

Man I have no idea lol..This is the 2nd M8C I've had as a loaner,since moving here 2yrs ago. The loaner-pool has been pretty nice,no complaints so far..M850i,two M8C's,X7M50i,and a real nice 3-series(forgot exact model but was all M'd out),a base model X1,740i&a crappy hybrid 530i.

When we lived in NY we'd always get a 3-series that smelled like B.O. or a 1 or 2-series w dents and rashed up like you said lol

The loaner is for my wife's 430 but I kinda stole it from her lol

Agreed. Slightly different version S63,but I had nothing but issues w my (2020)M550i and sold it back to BMW after 1.5yrs. Beware the hot-vee

Ya the n63 and s63 share the same exact rods from 2011 to current.

M8?? Lucky!! I got a piece of shit Hyundai Elantra for a day last month. My dealer is still struggling to get BMW loaners in. Find it kind of funny considering the area is surrounded by uber expensive homes. I can only imagine the stink someone makes dropping off their fancy X7 only to receive a minivan.

To echo what everyone has already said/asked...how tf did you get an M8 as a loaner? lol

I'm sure it was just dumb luck,I'm definitely not a big-wig customer lol

When I took my X3M for its break in service last month I got a base X1. I’ll ask for an M8 next time

Can you describe the driving experience between the X3MC and the M8C? Ride quality, acceleration, cornering...

Gfit · 02-27-2023, 05:22 PM

No way. Every loaner I get is a base 3 series that smells like ass.

LOL not trolling. The M8C is one of my "maybe next" after the X3M. The M5 will be out of production when I'm due for my next, but the M8 will still be available...
