I'm not 100% sold on the single piece grill, but I'm not totally opposed to it. For curiosity sake I mocked a separated grill:

Prices are up on the German Bmw page.

126k Euro base Price for the M850.
M Sport Package + M Technic package + Carbon package = 13k Euro.
So, full options in Germany will be around 180-190k Euro.
Wow!

That's something I'd definitely change if I had the car (we can dream &#128519

Yup. It also does not appear there will be much wood trim, if that is selected as trim type.

Gone are the days of long elegant pieces of wood across the dash and door.

I do like it, but I don't think it looks remotely as sharp as the concept which was beautiful and bold. I know this is ridiculous to say but it looks a bit more like every other BMW than before

The Automotive Enthusiast · 06-15-2018, 05:46 PM

The new four series better look JUST like that.

The Automotive Enthusiast · 06-15-2018, 05:47 PM

And why is the suspension called 'M Suspension Professional'? Is the suspension on every other BMW a rookie?

Manbnda · 06-15-2018, 05:55 PM

And right there gentlemen, is how the new 4 series will look like: like a mini and decaf 8 series. Not bad at all

I actually think it looks even better than the concept.

Finally some good looking headlights from BMW ! After like...10 years of contorted ugly undefined shapes. The current 5-series seems to be the last one with ugly headlights, let's see how the next 3-series will be though.

A shorter version of the 8-series would look just as good. I mean...it looks unnecessarily long, like they did it so long just to match the size of the competitor models (whatever those are), not that the design required it in order to look good.

AKRAPOVICOWNS · 06-15-2018, 06:06 PM

How about some photoshops with different colors and maybe 21's?

uniqueMR · 06-15-2018, 06:26 PM

Flawless.
My next car, hands down, M8

Just with a slightly more controversial front fascia

So... I'm gonna say the laser headlights will pull 10k (usd) as an option.

About 3600€ in the German catalog (full LED are standard), which is surprisingly cheap compared to previous prices.

You're not kidding!!!

Amazing if that holds true

Galex999 · 06-15-2018, 07:02 PM

With roughly the same starting price as F90 M5, I'm sure this M850i will attract many potential F90 M5 buyers including myself. I know M5 is more hardcore M model but this M850i offers nearly equal performance on everyday non-track driving condition with much more upscale style and GT driving comfort. For those who don't really need 4-doors practicality, this M850i can be a great car to own for everyday driving. Both cars have identical torque number at 553 lb-ft BTW.

bobloblaw · 06-15-2018, 07:11 PM

That rear ducktail (not sure what to officially call it) is way too thick and bulbous looking. Looks extra awkward with the lip spoiler on top of it.

I came on here specifically to say this. Gives the game away. This huge car with such crappy brakes. Can't understand.

My freaking Cayenne has 6 piston front, 4 rear for crying out loud.

What color is that? (Blue)?
