That’s what I’m really hoping for, that would probably keep the standard coupe under 3850 lbs.

This actually looks quite close to a production car, and I'm impressed! Remove the gold bits, give it some larger M mirrors, and normal exhaust outlets, and probably move the wheel size down 1 inch and you have your M8. My guess is that it's as close/closer to production looks than the 4 Series Concept was back in 2012

As with all BMW "M" concepts, I believe this is pretty much the production version, except door handles and side mirrors. Just look at past M3s concepts, and spy pics.
Agree, this is very close, I can see the coupe production in here too by looking back the the distortion leaked photos. The front is super agressive.
Doubt it. Cautiously optimistic here.

Probably an unpopular opinion based on the comments but not feeling the chameleon paint job.

A bit too ghetto fabulous for me.

Also, Mercedes beat BMW to the punch today by unveiling their full production AMG-GT 4-Door Coupe with 630hp. I just hope the production M8 Gran Coupe will "bring it." I do wonder if it'll be any lighter than the F90 M5 also.
The AMG GT 4 door isn't that good looking. A bit stubby in design.

630hp is the only cool thing.

Lol! The rear end does look a little Stinger GT-ish.

Admittedly trolling a bit. It's a very cool and aggressive concept, but the window/roof line they chose does remind me of the new Stinger.

I don’t want to belittle how amazing the car is but the wheels on this car are absolutely stunning. I imagine they will be highly coveted if they make it.

That car is a 10/10 and the colour is 11/10.
