Beautiful

This is a nicest version of the 8 yet from a design point of view. Very BMW, very classically elegant.

Seems to have decent backseat space now, which is very good.
I guess it's in the same price range as the Panamera, and for that kind of money, who would buy this over a Panamera?

Why does it looks so stretched? That things almost looks like a stretch limo that drives on Miamis south beach boulevards. Prefer the Coupé tbh.

i like the f06 looks better but i feel the 8gc will definitely grow on us more in person through time.

Dare i say i even think the f06 interior looks much better not really a fan of the 8's interior

Even if it's same price this will lease better.

This will Lease Better is indeed the Short answer.

**Many **will buy this over a panamera for both price and for looks. At the very least the 8er is a fresh look and will not be seen everywhere (except for the Kia stinger haterz... sorry I just don't see it : any i also don't see a mustang when looking at the 8 coupe.)

Speaking of old and dated. .. if the M6 GC is that ( for many in this forum ) then what is a panamera other than older and more dated ?

Looks better as a four door. Makes you think it was designed this way first and coupe/convertible after. It still looks massive.

Size matters!

I was so looking forward to this car and just clicked and read the article. If the measurements they just gave are correct, this car is 9 inches longer than the 850 coupe, making it over 200 inches in length, bigger than a panamera!

I guess I am now going to have to wait and see what the 4 series GC becomes. Crushed.

This is one of those cars that look better in 4 doors for sure. But for BMW to call the M8 their "super car" is a joke.

Feel like I'm in the minority.

It looks hideous, the 6GC looked stretched but this is like a retired gymnast and so out of shape.

I loved the look of my 640 Coupe - one of the best ever looking BMW's.

This monstrosity sucks.
