These cars are amazing, cant wait to see in person. The wheels surprisingly dont ruin the car, they actually work with it. That red is outstanding. That convertible is a dream summer ride

Sorry but I love the fact that most people don't notice my M6.

Awesome. Just replace the Casio calculator font climate control screen with the modern one found in the X5 and it will be near perfection.

Amazing machine!

If m5comp is good for 2.8 0-60 this one should be 2.6 with ease.

Finally amg has to try very hard to even keep up!

This is not bad at all. Obviously not your traditional M car anymore, but a fast luxury GT. This will do nicely. What's a better looking GT than this, the DBS and the Ferraris? And that's it.

Wheels have to go and the side profile is just a bit too Mustang GT for me, but otherwise everything looks on point

Given the power in 550 and 850 I guess they will bump M5/M8 power up soon?

Looks like a better looking 2 door version of my M5 Comp. That would be perfect for an M6, but I expected more given how amazing the original 8 series was compared to the 5.

I guess I've been driving M-cars for too long, because the best thing about the M8's look to me vs. the 850 is the quad exhaust...

Yes, expensive, and not my cup of tea for a variety of reasons. But it competes with the Bentley Continental GT, which is $200,000...

I'm going to be in a bind because i want another M4 vert, but they won't make them when I need to order which is next summer/fall, and basically as of now I see nothing else I want.

This M8 could work, looks good, but wow is it big, fat, and expensive ... I don't know how it can ever compete with a Bentley so ... I sense discounting!

Ultimately I think this thing will drive too far out of the performance zone, but I'll take it if I can get a good deal.

It looks good, but this might be the first BMW model where I had difficulty distinguishing the visual difference (mainly front fascia) between the m-performance and m car.

I.E. with the last gen m3/m4 and even m2, I'd know, by looking at front end, from a half mile away whether the car is m-performance line or real m-car. I had to put the m8 and m850i pictures next to each other to pick out the difference.

Why would they think that, doesn't look remotely close to a 4 series. This car is straight up boss, the S class coupe just got murked.. On a different note, what's up with that baby infant rear spoiler. The hell was BMW thinking

Honestly, looks OK, but may as well drove an aircraft carrier.
