Dealerships in my area are starting to get these. They are listed at $180 000+ cad.

This will be over $200 000 cad after taxes and fees.

Are they nuts? Who in their right mind would buy this at that price. That kind of money gives you so many other choices.

I see a sedan was a sloped roofline. Let me know when pics of said "coupe" are revealed.

Something about the M8 just doesn't feel special enough for the price... 160k gives you a lot of car options.

This isn't much more than an M5.. well, 50k more expensive.

I want to like it... I really do.

It's all relative to competitors. The Panamera, AMG GT 4-soor, RS7, and M8 all look sick as hell.

But I can understand the coupe seeming overpriced.

No, it's stock. At the beginning I was kinda scared but I found it rather easy to take care of. It doesn't get dirty easily and kinda repels the water

I wonder how much you’d need to pay for a Diamant Green Coupe if they’d ever make another car in that paint job?

It is about 25k more. Go configure them, 120 vs 145 for competition m5 vs m8 gc. About the same premium as the m6 had over m5 when the m6 gc came out.

Looks very nice. Yes the concept looks much better even the color, but this does look very good.

It needs wider wheels, a drop and a tint.

One thing I have to say is whoever is editing these photos is doing a disservice. They added too much yellow to the picture, so it's hard to know what this green really looks like.

Look how yellow this dude's hand is. It's like he has jaundice.

Matte or Satin (aka Frozen) is actually a lot easier to maintain, whether it's a wrap, or paint...

His F90 is factory paint available only on the First Edition F90's.

I'm aware it's an exclusive paint for th M5 first edition but I've seen some pretty rough looking frozen paints not only on the show room floor (people touching and running against them) but also on people's cars around town
