Need a downtown loft with a car lift to display in your living room.

Interesting how the launch film and videos show the HK sound system, no Bowers and Wilkins. Wonder if it will be a delayed option like it is for the all-new G05.

Very nice! I want it as GC, my 6 GC looks dated after this release. Well done...

Love the ad

I normally don't connect with BMW ads, but this one I felt. Loved it actually, it's inspiring. I've been on a journey to reconnect with myself, this was fitting!

Love the new 8.

Seriously unimpressed from what my eyes can see in fotos and film, hopefully it will impress in person. For 120k+ EUR it better ...

My main issue is that the interior isn't luxurious enough, and even though the car is nice it doesn't look exclusive enough. We need a moveable spoiler with matte paint finishes, OLED tail lights, and carbon fiber parts. We need the car to make us feel special with a start up similar to the Audi A7 and Lincoln Navigator. We need a move immersive interface from the interior of the car; the radically shaped screen with digital gauges isn't enough. *sigh.*

That cheesy cellphone unlocking

Why can not keep the cell phone in the pocket to open the door? Looks a little backward compared to current convenience package

Am i the only person who thinks that there is nothing innovative or special with this car?

I am sure it will drive like a BMW should but I really struggle to find anything to get excited about from this brand these days.

Hopefully the M8 proves me wrong. Or the M8 competition or GTS or CS or CSL.........
