Whenever I sit in an S-class, whether it be coupe or sedan, there's a sense of occasion. It looks and feels more expensive than any other Merc. Regardless, the M specific interior upgrades dress it up nicely.

I'm really not a fan of the screens either. Looks like an afterthought

The rear width decrease is curious, not sure why they would've gone for that. |

BMW has killed the 6 series coupe and gran coupe. the 6 series currently is a 5 door hatchback... er " GT" https://www.bmwusa.com/vehicles/6-se...n-turismo.html the 6er as you knew it has been moved up market in terms of " styling", and pricing and is now the 8er BMW has recalled the 850 moniker from the original 8 series and now also brought out an actual M8, which they did not do back in the 1990s. BMW has 8 series grand coupes (aka sedans) on the horizon as well. The 8 series also has 4 wheel steering, (not just active sway bars) which is a feature that was never in the 6er. With that.. you should be up to date... Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 06-10-2019 at 05:20 PM.. |

I know that they killed the 6'er leaving just the GT but thats besides my point. I just see a number change (6 to 8), no change in size, I tried sitting at the back and could not, I am 6ft. I have no such issues in an S-coupe and even E-coupe could be said that is slightly bigger at the back than the 8. As for 4 wheel drive/steering etc thats just newer age, fashion and tech, I know you'll agree. You would not use the same logic and say that the new M5 is not a 5'er anymore just because it has 4 wheel drive, would you? New tech should not give it a new number, size does. I just do not think that the 8 is in the same size (or class) as the S. Now, I am not sure of the following but I am pretty convinced that the 8 is on the same platform as the 5'er and not the 7. Whereas the S-coupe I would have thought is on the same platform as the S. And S is in the same size (class?) as the 7 and not the 5'er, right? What am I missing? |

Instead it's badged as an 8 series.. based on pricing .. I'm not so sure it's designed to compete with Mercedes S class at all and really more as a possible Alternative to a 911 and Panamera , hence the lower than 6 series roofline. I agree. In essence they simply changed the 6 to an 8, added more tech and added 25k to the price .. |

It's 4600 lbs. It is still heavy. It's just not as heavy as it's competition.

And the last gen E coupe was based on a C-class platform and yet nobody ever compared it to the 4 series or 3 coupe. The 6 was always between the E and S class coupes in terms of size and price. The 8 retains the size of the 6 but has been moved further upmarket with a price to match, to compete with the S coupe and SL. |

The Merc White Interior probably looks gorgeous at night with the ambient lighting.

Both cars look great here, but I'd probably have to test drive both before deciding if I was in the market.
