I doubt it is related to the exhaust (GPF) since it would also affect the Competition model power rating. It is the same engine just with a different tune.

Wow, so literally all wheel options (expect the M performance wheel) are either black or two-colored wheels, not even one proper silver wheel. BMW really drives me crazy with their wheel designs lately. Same for the M5, I hope this will not be the case with the M3 G80.

M8 gains 5mm in width. That's all. Nothing fancy.

I agree that all-black isn't always nice (depends on car, wheel design, body color), but a partially gloss black bi-color wheel, or at least with a touch of gloss black on the hub around the roundel, instantly brings sophistication, contrast, three-dimensionality, and a more seamless integration within the overall design rather than just a single color blob of metal. Whether in a luxury-oriented style (latest bi-color BMW Individual wheel style) or a sport-oriented style (latest bi-color BMW M wheel styles). The fourth wheel style pictured above is pretty much single color though, just some black around the center |

Full black is even worse. When the lighting conditions aren't that good, you barely can see anything. If the exterior color of the car is black, then it's a bit better, but with brighter colors you just see a black hole. And what disturbs me visually the most: The car visually loses stance since you (consciously or unconsciously) can't perceive the frame/edges/lines of everything what's inside of the wheel arches. I don't know how to explain it better, but I just hate that. |

For me, it looks like a more luxurious and upgraded version of the M6 coupe. When BMW pulled the plug on the M6 was because it knew that the M6 would be a direct competitor for the M8 for $30K less! So it eliminated one for the survival of the new M8.
Given a choice, there is no doubt I would buy the M6 coupe. Look below for side view compare. (Not to scale but close)

Gotta love those wider ///M mirrors
Kidding aside, it seems that the M8 and base 8-series share the exact same widths specs with and without mirrors.

I know everyone thinks they're a car designer these days and it's easy to get on Photoshop and make redesigns without having to make the many manufacturing considerations and compromises.
Having said that, This is how I wish front would have looked without the added carbon bits that weigh the car down. It looks more like the concept car. |

I saw pics of this on Facebook yesterday and literally thought it was the 850… I didn't read the text and for some reason thought it was a new 850 special model. I only realized it was the new M8 after I saw the announcement here on Bimmerpost. It just doesn't look different enough. Maybe that's the intention when competing against Bentley's and Porsche's but it should look more aggressive.

I just realized why I'm having a hard time distinguishing between m850i and m8.
To me, new m8 front bumper lower design shape is closer to f30 m performance front bumper rather than the m3/4. It makes me think that the m8 is a m performance model, at least initially. |
