Only issue I have is with the two-tone color scheme in the rear passenger area. The black front seat backs and the black sections of the rear seats look awful. All of that should be beige to match the rest of the primary leather color.

Everything else looks great. The photos people are posting of the 6GC make it quite obvious how fresh this looks and how dated the 6-er has become.

That is better than this? Please.


I've seen too many Kia Stingers to really like the current 8-series..

I like it. And the added interior photos show the 7-Series/X7 galvanized window buttons and the X5/X7 color HVAC screen instead of the Casio screen from the new 3-Series, two items glaringly omitted in the M850. I wonder if they’ll all have those going forward then, it was egregious they were missing before.

You are absolutely free not to like the design of the 8 Gran Coupé, but come on.. where do you see the Stinger in this!

OK, that's one good-looking machine. I wasn't sold on the more upright Hoffmeister kink at first, but it just works, judging from these pics.

I'm almost getting an Aston Martin vibe (DB9) from the rear glass backwards. Which, in case anyone is wondering, is by no means a bad thing at all.

well of course.. Were you expecting a completely different interior?

has BMW ever designed a different interior between coupe and sedan?
I swear some of the complaints on this forum are so silly. And I bet most of the complaints are from people that are not even in the market for this car.

Honestly I expected way more. Maybe m8gc would look better, but this one does not appear to have the wow factor that we used to get from m6gc
I still miss my old m6gc everyday. That thing was a piece of art

Cute sig; do you embed a remote, computed JPG for a good reason, for good-natured fun or for personal $hits and giggles? Given the pruitenterprises HTML virus BS, I'm guessing it's the latter.

How about you remove it and stop trying to scare folks that like cars and don't know much about computers. Jeez...

Agreed. But I fear we are in the minority.
