2020 M8 Gran Coupe in Individual Rosso Corsa

mikerx5 · 08-15-2020, 01:04 PM

Its the rims, they dont do the car any justice. No concavity, no depth... they look like an afterthought. The right OEM rim - which the M8 doesnt have yet, and it would look better IMO.

Beautiful color though.

This might help

It looks nothing like it

Your buddy is completely blind

it does have a passing resemblance to the stinger GT, which is not a diss, as the stinger is a decent looking car.

$143K and not a comp car? That's insane. I don't understand why they make M5s and M6s without the comp package. I get that it gets pricey on a $60K car but not at one double or triple that price. I think its bizarre.

Yeah maybe a passing resemblance at 100 mph

Besides RED the two cars have completely different design languages

Well, if memory serves, there are two pretty senior BMW designers who moved over there in the last few years

The Stinger was designed by Peter Schreyer and Gregory Guillaume - Neither are ex BMW designers

And once again the design language is not even close to the same /

The individual rosso corsa is beautiful to my eyes except that for the 8 series, I prefer the shape of the coupe much more.

Colours are a very individual choice, as the saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison. And I noticed as we age, our choice of colors can vary quite widely, as least it is applicable to me.

It's a beautiful car with a beautiful color.

Tallest · 08-16-2020, 09:29 AM

would have looked great in british racing green or something like that. Red big sedan? Never ages well.

Luminor513 · 08-16-2020, 09:41 AM

Like the RC on the M8GC, suits the style of the M8, just needs Comp black out trim and exhaust tips, and bigger wheels.

Have to agree Jason! Love the Red color, but the overall size of the vehicle just isn't appealing to me. Way to big in my opinion.

If I'd want a big 4-door bahn stormer, I would take the black one on the left

213e90n51 · 08-16-2020, 11:27 AM

if it had a manual transmission and a 3.5 or even 4.0 BMW Inline 6 that revs to 7500. I would buy it. The body is nice but man does it need flavor

GerryM5 · 08-16-2020, 12:45 PM

Congratulations, you bought the car you wanted. I know how we love our BMWs. Enjoy your pride and love for your car. Great car and it's a great choice.

ali820 · 08-16-2020, 01:18 PM

Needs black kidneys to finish it off!

Sedan_Clan · 08-16-2020, 01:30 PM

Ehhhh! Not really doing it for me.

Thank you, but it's not my car haha. It's actually for sale at the dealership I work at. However I do have a Melbourne red m4 with a 6 speed.

Some more photos of this M8 Gran Coupe in the showroom.
