Qiuck question, is there real engine in concept car like new z4 or 8er?
I see the cars can run but they seem to keep the hood down all the time.

I like the grey

The whole car looks like a fungus. From that pitiful generic design in that putrid, regurgitated colour.

jhigg85 · 08-30-2018, 04:51 PM

That Barcelona Blue is on point! The grey not so much!

SCOTT26 · 08-30-2018, 04:57 PM

They had an 840d in Sapphire Black now seems to have been replaced by Dravit Grey.
There is an internal concept M850i ordered by one of the managers in Aventurine Red. Purely Individual of course.

I was also at the Welt last week. I really didn't think seeing the new 8er was news anymore. I must say I really like Dravit Grey in person. I'd take it in a heartbeat!

Here are some of my phone pics with a few other notable cars & toys I saw at the Welt...

Wing Co · 09-01-2018, 12:26 AM

Many thanks - super quality photographs. I hope I like Dravit I've ordered it!

Some of the photos/videos give the impression that it is like Audi Nardo Grey, but metallic, what would you say?

Too__Hu///Mble · 09-01-2018, 07:02 AM

Is it me or this series is gonna set standards and push the envelope of what a coupe car should be like.

840D
850
M850
M8
M8C
M8 GTS

A hybrid version

I may be hit or miss on some. But you get the direction I'm goin. Performance on top of performance.

Then times that by two because of the GC version.

Thoughts?

brad850csi · 09-01-2018, 02:21 PM

There won’t be 850 and M850. I also doubt there will be a gts or csl version. Hopefully the Competition will have forged rods allowing for a lot more power than what the S63Tu is limited to but I’m doubtful they will bother.

Unsure about hybrid although I’m surprised they haven’t done an M850d

Wing Co · 09-02-2018, 07:54 AM

850d performance would probably be too close to 850i performance, if not quicker in real driving conditions, and twice as good fuel consumption. Not really good labelling for your top coupe as well, were as 840d can be grand tour/brisk coupe.

That was so unexpected to read such a POV around here, and as funny as it may sound, I actually agree with you !

It's still a nice fungus I would like to have in Techno purple.

Yeah, it's pretty close to Nardo Grey, but not as flat. I low light DRavit seems to change a bit. At some angles it seemed more metallic to me. The polished brown flooring also seemed to mess with the car's color. But it a good way. I rather liked Dravit Grey.
