Santa’s New Sled

Yes, Santa’s sled is red on the outside, while this sleek BMW M8501 Gran Coupe has a sumptuous red leather interior—but you get my point. And combined with a bright white exterior, the red of the interior is simply stunning. 

The other reason I think St. Nick should retire his sleigh for this coupe? It’s so fast that I think it literally bent time while I was driving it. Seriously—driving this stunner, you could deliver all of your holiday gifts and be back home in just the time it takes to sing along to "All I Want for Christmas Is You.” 

All kidding aside: this M8501 Gran Coupe is certainly living up to BMW’s legendary performance standards, while also providing an incredibly embracing and comfortable ride. Stop and go traffic is made very comfortable when you’re enveloped in the waves of a Bang & Olufsen sound system. 

But when you get to stretch the legs on this thoroughbred is when it really shines. It’s nimble, sure-footed, and a whole lot of fun to drive. Hang some jingle bells from the rearview mirror and go carve up some corners.
