I understand maybe Albert Biermann might have something to do with that. I'm not a fan of the size and weight of the car either, but I think it look awesome though.

M8GC is launching latter this year as per interview BMWBlog published with product manager. Interesting that US launch is late September where as Germany/rest of world is November 2019 market launch.

I wouldn't mind having one for sure. Just give it 4 years and this will be a sub 50k car.

Same MY M sport 328xi F31 wagon cost the same, or more, than a 7 series haha. So crazy.

So sad but true. I've been flirting with doing car hacks but so many new models to choose from that ai don't want to wait for. Lol

I did NOT expect it to have a different wheelbase to the G30, this will mean it should have more leg room than the G30.

8 Coupe = 2822mm
5 Sedan = 2975mm
8 GC = 3023mm

I think this means it designed to be quite a bit more luxurious for 4 people than the 5 is (combined with the centre console of course)


I'm even more surprised that the rear arches are 30mm wider than the Coupe and they have increased the track by 30mm. I guess this means it will be easier to fit wider rear tyres on the GC as well

That's exactly my thinking. I currently have 6GC, and definitely getting one of these. Wait 3 years and can pick one up at 50% less then what they are asking today... I will have my hands on one of these what a car!

Car looks great, good for those who really want the GC version my only complaint would be the little weird cut off where the back door meets the rear wheel arches you can see they had to make some form of compromise there the flat part line that goes over the whole wheel arch cuts of at the door.

Other then that great looking car would definitely love to own one if my wallet would allow me. But right now my wallet is looking at me and saying "In ya dreams pal"

Following the path of 6er production timeline, they really are the newest generation of 6 series with 8 series badge I think they totally used the whole 8er to boost the sales of previous 6 series line Stupid bmw

It's looks exactly like the normal M8 coupe. So not flared wheel arches.

Any chance that this car has an 5 seat option?

It's a "coupe" so they'll stick with the office 2+2 configuration although you could fit 5 people.

The much longer wheelbase is very suprising indeed. So is the +61mm increased height.

Where the 6GC still had a pretty cramped rear compartment compared to the 7er and was realistically more like a 5er 4 door coupé in the rear, this 8GC has grown +7cm compared to the 6GC and the rear compartment doesn't seem to pale much now in comparison to the 7er in terms of leg room, so the 8GC is definitely more like a 7er 4 door coupé now. But consistent with this is also the huge weight...
