When I saw this week's review car for the first time recently, a great old song from Joni Mitchell popped into my head.
Maybe you remember.
If not, it's worth searching or searching on YouTube.
It is called "Both Sides Now ".
It tells about seeing things from different vantage points.
This fits perfectly with the new BMW 8 Series coupe I 've seen.
There are two aspects to its story.
Rather, what we call the front "look" and the back --side 'look'.
I think the front is beautiful.
I just like it;
Excellent visual thrust and balance.
What car can you see in your rearview mirror.
I think the back-
The appeal on the side is much smaller.
I just can't understand the details of the design at all, and I can't understand the reason for the design.
For me, the contrast/conflict between the beautifully carved front and the over-carved front is too bigangular flanks.
Now, they say that a person should not read a book through the cover, but I think it is fair to say that in the case of a car, this motto may prove to be defective.
In this case, I think a lot of things havesides-
Through this big motor, the current theme is (
It must be big. .
BMW says the big 2dr Coupe is designed to attract current or potential buyers of Mercedes-Benz
Sports cars and/or Porsche 911, for example.
I have six versions.
Cylinder diesel under the hood may be more relevant to Merc, but there is a stonking M850i xDrive (530hp), too.
The excellent diesel of the 8 series also helps to make this car a heavy-duty car, but it is decorated admirably and well-off inside
And a well thought out layout.
Not only are the dials, dashboards, and interactive displays placed well, but they also look good.
This is all part of the experience (
By the way, voice control is received in all phone requests).
But despite the luxury, I have to keep asking myself: is it unique enough for a car that you will pay so much for, is it enough to make it different from other BMW's, it really should be different, you know.
I don't think so.
I will expect something special for this kind of money.
Perhaps this is a question of no meaning;
I know that automakers are trying to set the "family" feature on their models, but I still think you need to set an example on this level.
However, it is excellent in terms of comfort.
The luxury leather cottage has two rooms.
I will not reveal the two insignificant "seats" in the back ".
They are just convenient places to dump something.
I 'd rather be a full two.
But there are still two non-entities in the world.
So they can call the car.
As you would expect, this is a very powerful drive motor. With all-
Of course, I have a feeling of increasing security.
A few straight-
Line Power is fascinating.
Great.
On tighter corners or rough roads, it doesn't shine exactly like a performer (where its low-
Nature is endangered-
If the outline of the prominent Road is encountered too suddenly, the carriage).
There is no doubt that I was impressed by the excellent performance of this car, but I am not sure if the Porsche 911 riders will replace it with it.
I'm not sure if it's really super
Luxury enough for Merc buyers to change loyalty.
Similarly, a current BMW driver who no longer needs the capacity of the RV/SUV could be a good example of the 8 series in terms of cabin and wonderful performance.
There are also rare merchants: there will not be many on the road at these prices.
No double in one area
What is needed is the number of boot rooms you will like.
The aperture of the boots is very shallow, but once negotiated, there is surprising space;
Golf bags are a big consideration.
In my case, more ordinary work is needed, such as transferring the last batch of goods filled with plastic bags (
Sometimes even exotic motors are called for actual needs).
Overall, I really like this car.
My criticism is relatively minor for most people.
However, for those of you who give up this kind of money, you need almost everything exactly what you want.
I must say that I am satisfied with most of them, but I don't think I can stand this backwardnessside design.
I have now looked over and over from both sides, from the front and back, and it has not grown on me. That's a pity;
