Love the new 8 series front, and the back is OK too.
However, the side view leaves me cold. Reminds me of a Ford Mustang.
Moreover, I feel the air vents/scoop trim pieces are too massive, plus they are accentuated by contrasting gloss black......I'd say that looks tacky although some people might see in it an "aggressive" look which they like. Obviously, BMW body styling people know their buyers' preferences better than I do.
Thank you! I knew there was something familiar with the M8.

You can trade the car in, so it's easy.

I guess sense we are on topic on individual colors... I never ordered one so I have couple questions.

1 what's the waiting time?

2 can you order right away on new released car like G80 M3 or do I need to wait for while?

Thanks in advance!

1 I would say 3 months

2 don't think so, most likely have to wait for 3-6 months

The picture you have is partially in shade

Most colors will look different in sunlight/shade

Edit: I visited Pabble Beach and made pictures of M8 GC Salève Vert color

You are crazy... you really love cars.
I LOVE CARS

I actually drove down there instead of flying,
( Call me crazy 32 hour drive ) had a very unique car to drive the best you can get in car industry.

It's not a BMW but it made the drive very comfortable and I got to feel what superior luxury feels like

Thank you! I knew there was something familiar with the M8.
Color aside they have totally different design languages.

I don't speak design language. I don't taste colors or hear shapes. I don't wear complicated shoes like saxophone players in a jazz band.

A lot of people say it looks like the mustang but to me that's a stretch. The wheel base is longer the side profile of the hood doesn't match, and the windows design looks different. Looks way better on the bmw. I actually love the design of this car very much and do not like the design of the mustang. To me it can't look the same if I like one and not the other objectively speaking.
