I have NO IDEA why BMW applies so much camo to their vehicles... but the one thing I do know is that typically the headlights and taillights are completely fake or doctored heavily.

So does making buying decisions based off of vehicles in Camo.. but you know.. some people do..

Does the 5 series count as a large BMW ? What about the X5M ? inquiring minds want to know!

So let me just check.. what Mercedes model was it that just absolutely tromped the E24 six series? (I ask because I don't know Merc models that well)
Well you weren't supposed to go back to the good 6er. All I've got is this bad mamma jamma:

LOL. The worst part is that people go crazy over stuff like that! Just check out the X3 forums right now. The lack of an M steering wheel has Bimmerposters apoplectic! "But it was in the spec photos "

Keep dreaming. I am expecting $150K base.

That's probably a good start. I nearly fell over at the price tag on a friend's M6 convertible.

I thought it was a $100K car and it was actually closer to $150 sticker. Yikes.

The seldom sighted M8 has just been spotted, this time wearing M specific mirrors. We expect the M8 to be revealed in Spring 2019.

Really, Not until spring ‘19? I thought it was due to be revealed this year, that’s a bummer.

There you have it. I hope you all can read german or use the google translator.

http://www.autobild.de/bilder/neue-b...84.html#bild31

Its going to be a sportscar. Its even official, that it is gointo be smaller than the old 6 series due to save weight.
Lol, don't trip man, this thing ain't gonna touch the 911, or AMG GT. Maybe an Aston Martin, but it won't look as special as one.
We have no idea how special it will look.

Hard to speculate this soon.

You mean the M8 GC Concept? Since even the regular 8 Series Coupé seemingly won't be revealed until the middle of this year, let alone the M8 Coupé.

the lc is shit go see one in person so underwhelming for 120k cad. even the outgoing 6 series is miles ahead of the lC.
