I really like the front end, but not so much of the rear... Good job on the wheel design and color combination though.
I don't think a V12 is gonna happen, as EU is gonna stop selling the M760 V12, so wouldn't it be pointless to launch a new car with a V12 only for the rest of the world? Guessing the price tag of the M8 GC, I think it's gonna be around Panamera Turbo range... Does BMW really think it can outsell the Panamera Turbo?? Not saying that the M8 is gonna lack the performance or anything, but BMW is still BMW and most people would go for the Porsche just like that M8 GC certainly kills the AMG GT-4, but unless it remains close to what the M6 GC's price tag is, it's gonna be a hard seller and rather stupid. I personally went for the F06 M6 simply because it out performs the Panamera, except Turbo/Turbo S, but there was also a good price gap between the Panamera Turbo/Turbo S and the M6. Will find out in about 2 years? |

Hear that? That's the sound of dealerships far and wide drooling over the thought of selling gold plating "upgrades" again.

Make mine black saphire please. They could make a Killmonger Edition in black with gold accents!

Rear-end is duckface and I'm skeptical BMW can crack this market ...
Clearly they're trying to re-productize the 6er but this size/type/price point just doesn't seem to be on-brand Nice car, but for $150K or more? Nah. |

For me Mercedes blew it really bad. Design wise, they are so feminine now, with too fluid lines and fruity shape, butterfly taillights and a terrible terrible interior; with round vents, double flat screens with a "wall" design dash bord, and the new headlights which again scream feminine, Mercedes is not the car for me. I am a man and I actually like a conservative design with modern lines. Just too much of it and you fall under the kitsch side like Mercedes did. For me at least. Will not buy a Mercedes anyway, the don't offer a proper anticorrosive warranty and rust like crap since are not treated as BMW or Audi. Not worth the money. |

BMW is now into fictional literature. The production car will look nothing like this. They will beat this concept with the ugly stick an produce a let down.

Actually this car will look exactly like this. The Gran Coupe showcases the actual production front of the new 8er.

See post #70 regarding the usage of yellow lamps on German vehicles in the 20th century.
not quite exactly Yellow lights have been used in endurance racing for decades.. and of course were employed on the M8 GTE racing in the GTLM class for the Rolex 24 hour race in February. here is a description of the some of the race rules.. http://nasportscar.com/sportscar-rac...-championship/ "Another distinguishing feature, that’s included with both GT classes, are the yellow headlights. This is an especially handy feature, when you’re looking at the cars coming at you after dark. " Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 03-07-2018 at 06:16 PM.. |

Will BMW be bringing the 8 GC to market in sedan format prior to the 8 series coupe as they do with the 3 and 4 ? |
