Awesome, this feels much more real than the concept. Slight differences but meaningful

A design triumph for BMW to be sure. Thanks for the renders. I also hope the rear spoiler is toned down a bit. This may be the car that forces my hand about not buying a car with a MT.

Well, probably not. But it is beautiful.

Way to big and expensive for my taste, the M6 Grand Coupe would be the largest I would ever go. M4 =

But the M8 in Black looks cool!

I think size wise it is close to the 6 GC, which is a big car...

So BMW makes 3 sedans, and 3 coupe versions of the each. Have this computer age made it possible to design so many models profitable?

On a gut level it feels like this car is too much and is just a nicer version of 6er GC. Just more money.

WHy not do an i4 effort stronger?

Nothing bad about the renders but the car itself doesn't look like it fits the bmw lineup to me. It looks part Ghibli, part Aston rapide with a BMW front end. I guess I'm just not fond of BMWs attempts at 4 door coupes. I don't like the current 6/m6 grand coupe, some people love them, but i prefer the A7 and new Merc GT 4.

I didn't even know this car was coming out and was fucking amazed when I saw. It's awesome. The duckbill is a little strange though but the front. Wow.

why the odd/different shape in the rear window "kink"? Thought that was iconic and never to be changed!

Same with the gril, too complex compared to iconic and simple kidney shapes.

It does not seem to fit for a simple reason: this is the new design language for BMW.

I'd say: new design language...
