M8 ingress/egress

Gizmo 335i · 11-12-2022, 08:42 PM

I’m not a big guy but I’m old. I find getting in and out of the G8x to be fairly uneventful, which is good. I’ve yet to try an M8 so just asking if the height is about the same and if ingress/egress is equal. For additional reference, I struggle getting in and out of 911s, 718s, corvettes, F-Types, etc. any insight?

I think there is a forum member here who had an M8 : Vic55

Thanks. I’ll send a PM if he doesn’t respond here.

Had a 2020 M8 Competition Coupe, and now a 2022 M4 Competition Coupe xDrive. Not too much of a difference, the M8 was a bit lower, but not enough to make the G82 substantially better in that regard. The G80 should be easier to get in and out of.

Yeah my G80X sits higher than my M8 coupe. Both are ok to get in and out of IMHO but the G80 might be slightly better due to the lack of the need lean/mini squat out. I really havent noticed any issues and this thread is the only reason I might even think now LOL.

Thanks. Don’t get old

I remember hearing someone say it's an honor to get old and not everyone gets a chance to get old.

Old being relative.
