Also, Mercedes beat BMW to the punch today by unveiling their full production AMG-GT 4-Door Coupe with 630hp. I just hope the production M8 Gran Coupe will "bring it." I do wonder if it'll be any lighter than the F90 M5 also.
A debut of a ready-for-production vehicle? what a concept! (pun intended) Kudos to Mercedes.

New school BMW fans.. ? I take it that you guys have never heard of yellow Cibie headlights I imagine.

They were popular as aftermarket headlamps on most if not all German luxury cars in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s..
BMW..Porsche .. Mercedes.. owners often replaced the OEM with a CIBIE lamp. IIRC they are French.

When Lexus came to the US originally.. they had yellow fog lights for years...

This is a great looking car! Coupe, 6MT, and sold.

(I know there will not be a 6MT...)

This vehicle will be above the i8 in price, will feature a carbon core to achieve the rumored 0-60mph time of 3.0.

The front looks cartoonish to me - the middle and side vents are so tall on the face. The proportions look off....

Side and back look nice though.

Well done BMW Designers. Porsche has some competition now. A German Aston Martin, about time. I think this will compete with that market.

Now just fucking make it!

I totally agree. Not a fan of all these cheesy metallic nail polish paint schemes. BUT I get where they were going with this, especially with the marketing side of it. First time I watched the video, I was like what the heck. But now seeing the concept car in real life photos it totally makes sense and works for the marketing of it. Aggressive, unique, forward thinking. The cracked ice with the aurora borealis modern earthy bluish-green with matte bronze actually was pretty well done. The color combo is NOT my style by any means, very SEMA. But it looks like it did it's job and got peoples attention and that was the whole point in the first place.

Let's see it in Frozen Black, now were talking!

Lovely and aggressive 🖒
The CLS and AMG GT + the new A7 don't have the same character as this concept. I hope they'll not tone it down too much for the series production!

Fuxk! Floating rear caliper again. For the flagship model, I thought BMW was going to put on dual calipers!
