New toy - RS Q8
X3 M40 in the background to keep it relevant to bimmerpost.
Summary so far: It's very fast and seemingly defies the laws of physics. |

Congrats and beautiful car. The RSQ8 is easily the best looking of the "coupe-ified" SUV's.

I have double paned glass so it's muted on the inside, but you can absolutely hear the growl and burbles on acceleration. I haven't WOT'ed it yet (literally picked it up yesterday w/10 miles on it), but here's a breakdown so far: Comfort mode: No engine noise cruising, muted on accel, no pops that I can hear. Auto: No engine noise cruising, nice growl and some pops on accel, shifts are smooth. RS2 (everything on max, traction control "off"): Good low growl, shifts hit you right in the spine with a nice thooompf, lots of pops and burbles. I need to take this through a couple tunnels to see how loud it is since my kids are not tall enough to rev it for me and my wife will roll her eyes at me if I ask her. |

There's a Urus around here with AUDI Q8 license plate. It's hilarious and I need to find him again and get a pic. Another guy has:

If you're implying the running cost of this thing is going to make me cry, yes, yes it will. Ah well, YOLO.

When I saw your first pic I was thinking "that looks just like San Jose, but there's not enough data for me to make that claim". I'll venmo you 10 bucks for a correct guess on where I took the pic of the yellow Uris. I'm betting it's within a 15 mile radius from your home. I always keep my drunk promises
