Personally, I still can't put it above the M6GC— those F06 body lines are just too good.
Aftermarket parts can fix the rear

F06 looks really good, that is hard to beat

Agree, would look much better

Maybe a more aggressive diffuser?
Aftermarket Diffuser and spoiler can fix the look in no time

The rear is just to busy, trying to hard. The 8 have never been BMW strong side. The 6 was more classy

I need to decide between M8 GC comp or 911 turbo. I know they are completely different cars but cost wise they will be close.

This is essentially its replacement. They wanted to make something with a bigger price tag.. so they put an 8 on it..

Word on the street is that 8 series coupe has been axed along with 6 series GT so perhaps this leaves room for a reverse pivot back to 6 in the future
Is Michael J. Fox in it?
Only if it has aluminum body panels.

They are world apart.
If you don't track it get the M8 for sure

I wish this was true. I don't think it looks like it at all. 6GC has much better lines and it's a Timeless design. 8GC is very trendy and the kink at the c-pillar is way off.

Maybe it’s just me. But that “C “ Pillar looks very similar to that of the Dodge Charger. Hoffmeister where have you gone?

The Hofmeister Kink seems all but gone. What a shame.

No room inside at all : if he doesn't take it to a track I would take the M8 GC

So much more practical and it's fast as 911 on straight obviously

It's all personal preference.

I love the Porsche TTS very reliable car.

Mine F90 M5 was tuned and is by far much faster then TTS and really practical.

Because of family I would choose M8GC plus the tech inside is much better.

If I would track it then Porsche

Definitely more practical, but he didn't seem to care.

Agreed. 911 is so fun to drive anywhere. Reliable and holds it value over time. 991.2 TTS can be a beast or a nice daily driver.
