Very nice! I have a gut feeling that M8 will touch $180k loaded.

M8 Gran Coupe for sure. Would guess like $150k for M8 loaded

How do you figure $150k if the M5 fully loaded is nearly 140k and a fully loaded M760i is 165k? I think 165-175 base. Upwards of $190-200 with individual colors and options.

If it approaches $200k they have serious competition at that price point. That's 991 Turbo S territory, and that's a hell of a car.

Exactly! I don't see it being over 175K fully loaded. Otherwise right in turbo S range and most everyone here doesn't seem to think it'll compete with the 911 let alone the amg gt. The new AM vantage is priced at 150K so I think that would be a more likely comp.

Nah it will reach the $200k fully loaded. It's going to be a stupidly expensive car but I still want one.

It's not even the same type of car why would you even compare these two? The M8 Gran Coupe will go up against the Panamera not the 911.

They brought this car back to pit them alongside the S coupe. Just look at the price of those. There will be a generous price hike, for sure.
Just as they separated the 3 and 4 series to compete with Audi A5. Creating a new segment rather than using the original is an excuse for them to jack up prices and have the consumer not notice. |

Why not?
If they raise the bar for the standard versions then the Ms... should be a whole other level.
I remember with great nostalgia the days when even the basic BMWs where fun to drive. It is is about time the brand offer the same experience across the range. |
