They aren't the same style actually.
Pay attention to the two superimposed pentagram shapes, they are almost identical to each other on the first style and very different from each other on the second style. Also the silver color Y shapes on the second style remain split all the way up to the center hub, versus all Y shapes being fused together on the first style.

I'd bet that both wheel styles will be offered from the factory on both the coupe and convertible. It's possible they are different sizes (although they doesn't necessarily to have different diameters), or perhaps one is a lighter weight wheel with an up-charge. |

I remember the first time I saw the original 8 series, and the first time I saw the Z8....I LUSTED after those cars...
And when you saw them on the road? It was like seeing a spaceship amidst every other appliance on the road at the time. This one is just kind of "that's cool". I'm sure the performance, ride, handling, and build quality are all amazing, but it kind of just looks "bland". There's nothing that stands out to me as striking or inspiring. Very similar to every other modern Lexus, Mercedes, Audi, etc.. I just don't feel like this is an aspirational car. I just don't feel emotional about it... (My opinion only...rant over) |

As such though, one style looks very much base version (black and diamond-cut silver bi-color) and the other looks very much Competition version (machined, slightly darker silver, single color), so who knows. Last edited by advantage20; 06-05-2019 at 08:58 AM.. |

On the other hand, the M5 competition engine is rated at 617 bhp (625PS) for ALL markets. Likewise, the same applies to the M8 competition. |

Most of the pics really don't do this car justice; especially the frozen "blue" coupe pics. Trust me, this car looks way better in person! IMO, looks-wise (without the optional carbon fibre extra trim pieces on the front & rear), it's a step above the M850i. |

It's nice, but it's price point is too high IMO. I'd lean for a new 992 911 over this car for that price.
