The BMW insider confirmed that this bold front is the production front for the M8 coupe and gran coupe. The rear looks to be production ready too apart for some details. This is probably one of BMW's boldest design in years...

I think if that wheel was all silver it would look overdone but in 2 tone it looks ok. I agree that wheel designs nowadays are too fussy...

Any chance you could black out those chrome trim and grill? I think it would make a nice difference

M specific complete rear bumper change is true indeed for the smaller models which have to accommodate to wider M fenders. For the larger models, sometimes they do change it (X5, X6), sometimes they seem to keep the bumper and just change the bottom part (M5? M6?) because the rear track on the standard model is wide enough and they don't need to change the rear fenders, so they also don't need to change the whole bumper, right? Correct me if I'm wrong. So technically they might not have to change the whole bumper, but yes hopefully they do

This is a great flagship car for BMW. Very happy to see it will be offered in true M treatment. I dont like the wheels, hope they offer better options

This is how I think it will look when it'll reach the series production. Didn't have that much patience to finish every detail, but overall, you get the idea.

But still defined enough to immediately notice that the side vents are significantly smaller on the production M Sport than on the concept, and that most lines on the bumper are actually different, which was the point of the comparison had you read the attached text.
