Haha of course BMW would give you some pep boy special for a rear caliper. Dear god. What a sad day. And idc if it is technically all that is needed to stop the rear end of the car. Bottom line is it looks like trash for a $150k+ car! Makes it seem the owner couldn't afford to truly upgrade his brakes so he only did the fronts. Just Laziness imo. LOL

Love most the rest! Gorgeous design.

if the key is anywhere near as bad as their "app that does all this except start your car" then there are going to be a lot of stranded drivers

PARTS@STBMW · 05-29-2018, 07:06 PM

WOW

JMon · 05-29-2018, 07:39 PM

Wow. I thought from the video thumbnail it had been rear ended.

The front looks like a mustang. (Like the one JC had in grand tour). Maybe that was a little harsh.

I think this will look much better in alternative colors like red.

I personally like the rear the best. It's very unique and the most daring part of the entire design. The rest is very typical BMW. The rear adds an edge.

Now if they could just tone down those bumpers...

Anyone else think it's riding high - comfort mode?? Maybe?? I thought that was just the damper settings...

Yes!

Apparently this is the new X6 with M8 badges.

I hope not.
It would be stupid from their part.
It should be in the M5 range as the M6 was.

HXS · 05-29-2018, 08:36 PM

Needs moar low and wheels suck... Otherwise, very nice car!

Madvillain · 05-29-2018, 08:42 PM

whats up with the ride height? maybe theyll have special edition yellow known as "camel trophy yellow"... -_-

SamS · 05-29-2018, 08:51 PM

They do sooooo good with 90% of the car getting great proportions and a modern design. And then the rear. WTF is going on? All those crazy angles and creases are nowhere else to be found on the rest of the car, and they just go hog wild and make it look ridiculous.

Arcades · 05-29-2018, 09:14 PM

Woah.

Okay now I'm impressed.

cwulffy · 05-29-2018, 09:55 PM

Is that how you star up a BMW or is it actually a Mobile Suit

kerkiraios00 · 05-29-2018, 09:56 PM

Sickkkk!!!!

Fanta · 05-29-2018, 10:13 PM

I will like to use my IPhone to operate the car instead of BMW display key.

Soul_Glo · 05-29-2018, 11:16 PM

Let's hope it's not late to the party like the previous 8 was. Come already BMW.

BM dnobagaV · 05-30-2018, 12:39 AM

That front end isn't to my liking... the rear is interesting though, if they worked on it a little.

Art__Vandelay · 05-30-2018, 02:29 AM

I love the front, but the rear is too busy. It's okay if they try something different there, but I'm afraid this is a bit too much.

Nothing · 05-30-2018, 02:46 AM

Damn those wheels are sexy. Can someone make a copy that will fit my M3? Silver, no gold though.

Jez_zza · 05-30-2018, 03:57 AM

What a presence !!! Looking forward to see the official reveal but I reckon another 2 years

This car will be positioned above the previous 6 series and also above the 7.

There will also be a two door version.

I'm not sure of your historical knowledge, but there has been an 8 series in the past ( no M version was ever sold) and it was positioned well above the 6er ...
