Also what would it cost to do this on your own? The contrast stitching is very nice. I don't know what that price equates to in the US but I feel it's priced very high. This is only cosmetic upgrades with same power not sure it's worth it.

So many questions. I wonder what the US special editions will be? If I'm totally honest in my opinion if it doesn't come with more power or less weight, or a titanium exhaust it's not really of more value. It will depreciate just the same as any other M8 coupe.
I think in one of the recent updates to the BMW pipeline thread we found out that BMW is going to discontinue the 8 series coupe earlier than anticipated and just hang onto the 8er gran coupe for the full life cycle. That would certainly make sense for the timing of these early special editions.
Yeah I saw that article and it does make sense that's the reason for the special editions so soon.
