Ba–ed as to how the BMW M850i ended up last in your February Giant Test. Sure, it doesn’t have the Bentley Continenta­l GT’s ultra-luxurious interior, but has its measure dynamicall­y, rivals it for comfort and refinement, and has better infotainme­nt ergonomics. It would also leave the Aston DB11 for dead in anything less than ideal conditions. It matches the performanc­e of both, despite having over 100bhp less power, and it costs half as much. Seems to me the M850i was the best all-rounder in this test, not the worst. Paul Razavi

The 850i su ered for being compared to more specialise­d machines. Having just started running one (p128), I think you might be right – the BMW may yet prove the slow-burn winner. BM ⊲
