Damn, that thing looks good.

Maybe the M8 Competition Package Gran Coupe will be the future ride in a couple of years

I'm not getting excited at all.

I remember when the Gran Coupe concpt (what would become the 6GC) came out and I was like "wow".

Rear view = updated 6 series. Not bad but kind of old view. Side view is nice but I believe the concept looked better... wondering what the price will be like...

I think it looks great and I'm sure it will look even better in person.

My only concern is that BMW will have to price this into Panamera territory.

I'm clearly a total amateur at editing a photo. But, this kinda gives you an idea as to how it would look with a proper kink. Two variations. One may be too similar to the 4GC. But I think either is an improvement.

Absolutely, I haven been ranting about this to everyone I speak to who are into BM's. Why can't they see the gap in market! This is the only reason I got the 4GC instead of M4 because of practicality. M6GC was out of reach. M5 is basically the same shape 5 series but, the 4GC is a sexy looking car. Always turns heads.

Is is just a 5 series GC or is it somehow more fundamentally different?
I mean if I was looking at a 5 series, would this be a logical comparison in terms of ride quality, handling, interior etc. like a 4xx GC vs a 3 series, Or is it more different than that?

That's pretty much it. I do recall a few reviews of the M6GC saying that it did handle shaper and differently to an F10 M5 but I suspect if you swapped the antiroll bars and springs between them that both cars would handle the same.

I think that's a normal 8 series GC, not M8. But those seats are nice, wow

No more pics so far. The headrest badges do seem to be saying just M instead of M8, so either it's not the M8 or it is the M8 but the picture has been tampered with.

Actually definitely not the M8 judging by the seats' stitching/perforation pattern. The M8 seats have the rhomboid/diamond-shaped perforation pattern from the 2017 8 Series Concept, these instead are M850i seats except for the headrests, just as the shifter isn't the M8's.
