The 6 Series Grand Coupe was a sweet car as well as the current 4 Series Grand Coupe. I think BMW eliminating the 6 Series was a mistake. Bigger and more expensive does NOT always mean better.
The 6GC is one of the best looking for me

In any case, the 8G looks like a hatchback and I personally don't care for it. If it depreciates to $30k in 3 years, I might consider getting one as a winter beater.
Even if young kid design this it needs to pass approval.

I think it could look better but it's not bad at all IMO
But this is supposed to be a premier model so it shouldn't be classified or rated by the absence of "bad", it should be an easy, unequivocal "wow"... the prototype was; this incarnation garners a solid "meh" from me.
I know, small details makes a difference for some people
