Basically discontinue the 6 and M6 gran coupe, come out with a new M8 gran coupe that’s similar in size, and charge more? Gotcha!
I’m sure it’s going to be a heck of a car and I like the overall looks! |

In total this is a huge win... and shares some design language with the Z4 images. Someone at BMW has been very busy. |

BTW gotta say the wheels BMW has been using on their concepts are insane. The 2002 Homage and now this has the sickest wheel design yet.

Dear Bayerische Motoren Werke,
Please make this your new corporate grille. This is much more elegant than the headlights awkwardly connecting to the kidneys and the overly large bulbous kidneys. I even own/owned a number of these awkward kidney cars. Please use this to death. Use it on everything. Thanks.

I dont Know why it’s taken this long for them to have a front end as aggressive as this. These car companies make me scratch my head. They would be severely stupid to not make the M8 exactly like this...aside from the door handles and mirror obviously. People want an aggressive machine like this! This thing is beautiful.

This makes the old 6 series and M6 looks like from a different age. The M8 looks futuristic, aggressive and wild! best looking M car so far

Yellow lights used to be mandatory in France, but they don't perform as well as "white" lights. Now all the cars have the white lights" I believe the yellow lights for the cars in endurance racing is to distinguish the GT series from the sport prototypes which are much quicker for safer overtaking...

Impressive render as always. One thing I don't understand is why concept cars often don't have door handles at all!
Is there any chance you could render a 2 door with the window line from the earlier concept? http://f92.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1388111 |

For the GC front plugged to the 8-series concept, I am going to do it in a couple of days but someone may beat me to it... Cheers!

I think this m8 design is a step ahead of the current crop of blob shaped 4 door coupes including the cls, panamera, a7, amg gt, etc etc. To my eye the longer hood and sharper lines just works better. It's a more modern, aggressive looking Aston Martin rapide. bmw designers finally came to work.

I think M8 will be in a price range that's close to Panamera turbo, let M850i and M840i do the market share jobs.
People thinking Porsches are superior? for now maybe they are but the long term I don't think so and I'm sure people at M and AMG are with me, times will tell and that brand is diluted with all those sedans and SUVs (maybe hatchbacks later). If BMW and Merc are able to make things that's as good as Porsche, why cheaper? Anyway that M8 GC is a beast

I've had several BMWs but the last few years I feel they lack in design innovation and driving feel. That's why I like the way Mercedes operates, they take risks and sometimes it works very well and sometimes not. I agree with you about the interior. It's not perfect but it's a nice design that works. I also agree about the Ipads, they could have paid a bit more attention to the dash. Quote:
I am a long time Bimmer fan, but I don't have to approve with every concept. Well in many peoples eyes that's just what Bimmers are. Not that I care much about what people think, but I've realised that other drivers tend to get agressive as soon as an agressive looking BMW (me) turns up. Like I said earlier, to each his own, me personally I think the new v60 is beautiful inside and out. |
