They are giving options for people that want this car. Nothing wrong with that.

This is a very nice follow up to the 6er. Always loved the M6GC, the new 8er coupe, M8 and GC look fantastic!!! Def feel it looks a step above the Audi A7, which is saying a lot cuz I LOVE the design of that car. |

BMW clearly has their scope set dead on the Panamera which has 330hp in entry level guise.

Time to wait for 50% depreciation before I get one.

you can choose between 530 PS and 600+ if you wish Panamera has 330 PS (and even 300 PS in the first generation), so there is nothing wrong with the power figure of the 840i |

M850i xDrive Gran Coupe adds: • 20-inch M V-Spoke Style 728M wheels with performance run-flat tires • M Sport brakes • M Sport Differential • Integral Active Steering • Adaptive M Suspension • M Sport exhaust system • Active Roll Stabilization • Multi-function front ventilated seats • M Steering wheel • Aerodynamic kit • Shadowline exterior trim • Anthracite headliner Some of those are pretty pricey - but the exact options I would order.

Ok, I can breathe again. When BMW announced the end of the 6GC I was worried about them ever delivering a car as beautiful as that. Then when the 8 series was announced. I was waiting to see if the 8GC was going to be better than the 6GC. BMW certainly delivered on this. The 8GC is stunning. Just wish I could afford one.

Because it's an 8. That's is the only reason. This is a car based on the 5er but called an 8 so they can charge more and claim it's a flagship car. They found a way to charge a lot more, claim they have a flagship car while just eliminating the car it replaced (6er). The engine specs match the 5er and and it's barely bigger than the 6er it replaced. That said, this car is going to print money from corporate leases.

My only complaint, door handles.... Why does BMW insist on still using door handles that bulge out?! C'mon it's almost 2020, can't BMWs have flush handles that don't ruin the profile of a car?!

I really like the look of the 8 GC, maybe more than the M5, I can't wait to see the M8GC assuming it's launching still

Beautiful car.
But OMG, what a porker. 4758lbs!!! The M8 GC will come in at close to 5000lbs. Extremely disappointing.
