Mercedes S Class Coupe mostly. The M8 going after the AMG 63. If they ever decide to do an M860 that'll probably go after the AMG 65 S Class Coupe

The cladding beneath the camouflage hides the true lines. I think the flares are being masked.

Don't underestimate BMWs camouflage. They've got serious game.

Yeahhhh I'm sorry but the S Class coupe isn't going anywhere. It's one of the most beautiful and elegant cars on the road right now, just like the S class sedan. BMW has serious work to do if it wants to even come close to tackling the S class.

Completely agree, I'm just happy to know that the 8 will bring in a new desperately needed new design language.

BMW Concepts

BMW concept for production series cars used to be 90% of the real deal. Based on the pictures, it looks like none of the concept cars’s radical interior or exterior details are carried over.

A this stage, I am still hoping that this test car is heavily disguised and is not going to be given the vanilla treatment.

BMW Chief engineer Klaus fröhlich sad a few weeks ago in the German Autobild, the new m8 won’t be a s class rival, it will be a 911, Aston Martin and amg gt rival. A true sportscar, NOT a luxury coupe.

Looks like a bigger version of a 2008 Altima Coupe.

I thought Germans didn't have a sense of humor. A 911 competitor?! Maybe in the same way an SL is a 488 competitor.

Is this thing going to be bigger than the M6? I can't imagine that.

Cool car....but what are the odds that these are sitting on dealer lots with well below invoice invoice pricing shortly after introduction? I just don't see the market.

Just to remind you, this is coming from the same people that tell us EPS is great, a ZF8 is just as good as a DCT and that steel drive shafts are just as good as carbon. This thing will be a turd, just wait...
