Initially I thought it looked fast, then I saw how it slid, tacked and raised the spinnaker. No shame in that, BMW does sponsor the Regatta racing w Panerai. Must be the inspiration for this one, cuz sure as hell it ain't the green hell.

I saw 8 series coupe in the flash at Imsa event where Bmw had a tent with few of their top car models and a couple of race cars. 8 series is a horrible looking coupe. Looked extremely oversized, not sporty nor luxury. Yes interior is full of features but to me the car just didn't look right as a whole. I want to ask what else is in that price range in the class before I'd consider it.
Now that they presenting the test car in sedan form, I think this is great and what 8 series just should be. The sedan seems to look better with all those lines and in that size....

Edit: I take that back. I thought the conversation was comparing the M8GC vs the M5. This car will not touch the M5 in any way.

You said you saw the 8 series and it looked over sized and not sporty. Then you said the sedan form (Gran Coupe) looked better with all the lines and in that size. 1. The GC is longer than the coupe form. 2. The coupe form is shorter than the old 6. :

I have not been as excited for a car in a long while so I really want to buy this as my next car, but if it's not special enough I will not get it. I've seen the M850i coupe and it's nice but just not special enough for me. It's just a nice 6 series with an 8 badge on it. And therein lies where I am in the wait for the M8GC. BMW if you're reading this (yeah right) please make this car really really special.

I m surprised that after m4 and the last 6 series they built the 8 coupe in that particular design which by the way looks nothing like the concept that was floating around the news years prior. To me it looks anything but BMW. And I m not contradicting myself. What I said was that GC will look more appropriate in that exterior design.

totally agree with mahmoudokski. My 640 GCi is absolutely the classiest most beautiful BMW ever produced - to date. Cannot wait to see the 840i GC in real life to make a true and fair comparison.
