Comparing the two photos, the front fenders are wider. You can notice around the headlight and there's a new contour line above the arch.
Let's wait the official release, the "spyshots" will always make the cars look undermined. Looks beefy nonetheless. |

This is hilarious, the red 850i looks more like an M8 than the actual M8 😂😂😂
The blue one seriously looks like a 840 with M sport but only in the front. Promising rear but still a disappointment for many like me as I'm sure those who don't like it were just expecting a big noticeable difference similar to how a 650 compares to an M6. |

The M8 looks like an M850i with a tacky bodykit - something you'd expect from Hamann or Mansory. And FWIW the 850i already sounds better than the F90 M5 which will share its engine with this car. Unless performance is paramount I really don't think it's worth buying the M8 over the 850i.

Saw the M8 (together with the new X3M & X4M, 3 sedan G20, 3 touring G21, X5, X7 and 840d) during an electric car event (oh the irony) last weekend and I must say that it looked amazing in person.
Interior detail was way better then any other BMW I ever owned and the seats was sporty yet comfortable. The M8 and 840d was in separate rooms so not possible to do a side by side comparison, but I think that the 840d will be mistaken for an M8 since its stance is really aggressive.

I'm a hardcore BMW guy but man It's just disappointing. I see myself now a days just looking more at older BMWs and M cars. Long life the E-chassis era.

So I figured this means that nobody's gonna waste their time with the civic M8 if the competition is available early?
I also like how the car announces itself as "THE M8". why do you assume that we'll be mates? Are you bringing the beer? |

The close room event I went to had 400-500 people attending so im surprised that we haven't seen any leaks.

That's all I could think looking at these pictures! Really surprised. I was super excited to see the M version. Not as much anymore. Maybe it's the color? Maybe the tiny rear spoiler? IDK. I just thought the m850i looked so good, the real M8 will be insane. I guess I will reserve final judgment until I see it in person.

So those carbon fiber block L-shaped inserts in the side intakes, those are on all of the M8's? Or did they maybe (hopefully) say it was part of a package or M Performance accessory or something (i.e. are they removable)?

I like it, but far too many "GERMANCAR4UM" badges on it for my liking. Will definitely need to de-badge this one.
