Will the roof be higher for M8 GC?

I had some seat time on M850i yesterday, checked out the back seat and it was impossible to sit without bending my head like a prisoner.

I don't recall this problem with either generation of M6 Coupe (E63 and F13) so I'm wondering if the roof design would be vastly different from the upcoming M8 coupe.

It's mentioned that the GC will have a higher roofline than the coupe. The coupe has a 1341mm high roofline

However, I'm REALLY hoping that it at least has a lower roofline than the outgoing 6-series GC, which had a roofline height of 1392mm.

I'm guessing (on the taller side) that it could be 1370mm ish? I'm hoping for 1350mm-1360mm tall though

It won't just be the height, it will be where the roof starts to curve down, in the GC that point will be about 150mm further back compared to the Coupe. I think it will be fine unless you're 6'6"

But I wonder what the height dimension of the 8-series GC itself will be?
