Now that they presenting the test car in sedan form, I think this is great and what 8 series just should be. The sedan seems to look better with all those lines and in that size....
You do realize you just contradicted yourself right?

You said you saw the 8 series and it looked over sized and not sporty. Then you said the sedan form (Gran Coupe) looked better with all the lines and in that size.

1. The GC is longer than the coupe form.
2. The coupe form is shorter than the old 6.

:
Have you seen the 8 coupe?
I m surprised that after m4 and the last 6 series they built the 8 coupe in that particular design which by the way looks nothing like the concept that was floating around the news years prior. To me it looks anything but BMW.
And I m not contradicting myself. What I said was that GC will look more appropriate in that exterior design.
