very nice
way too big for my tastes, but if the next 4GC is a mini version of this, I'll be up for one

The last 6 GC could be priced up to $100K for the 6 cylinder too. Pretty crazy.

It's photographed very well. Would be great for Instagram accounts. For the price an can see the RWD 840i GC with M Package selling much more than the 850i GC.

To me, this is the best looking BMW that exists that's still in production. Let's wait and see what the M8GC will look like in person.

I think the concept looked boxier, which liked. The final release looks like 6GC from many angles.... hmmm ok

Does the heads up display show what gear I'm in? I don't need to know what station I'm listening to on XM.

Very impressed with this model and the backseat is very roomy for tall people. Well done BMW.

Am I missing something? The GC is already for sale isn't it? There's an M850 GC on the lot at my local dealer (Illinois)

Looks really good, I know trunk is quite a bit smaller than 5 series, how about back seat, comparable to 5 (at least leg room, headroom has to suffer I assume?)?

So leg room in the back seems much better than my dad’s 5 series from 2011, so I would say larger (it is 4 inches longer). Trunk is def smaller, but not a bad size actually. Headroom for me 5’ 11” is absolutely fine. I’d imagine around 6’ 2’ you’d run into issues in the back. The interior (tartufo) is quite stunning - leather is everywhere. I’m also coming from a 2017 440xi so comparing to that.

Suspension eat potholes without issue while 440 sounded like my tire was about to roll off. Headlights are awesome, whether the laser is on or not. Seats are comfy and Apple car play is crazy fast.

Maybe. You should take a look at the 8 GC in person...photos don’t seem to do it justice...I loved mine a lot more after I took delivery vs. photos my dealer sent me. It’s a fantastic upgrade to the legacy of the 6GC (which I do agree was one of the sexiest cars BMW made). I wanted that one but they discontinued it before I could afford one. My coworker had the alpina one..stunning car.

Sounds tempting, once we pass the stroller stage (so I don't constantly stuck a stroller there to eat up the space 8GC sound like a mighty tempting upgrades

Edit: like the rim a lot too
