The movement of vehicles ahead is registered in order to determine the ideal moment for stopping and starting the engine.

Car looks good, but the back is a bit busy. Overall, looks pretty clean. I hope this thing outperforms the competition and that Bmw continues the current trend of making drivers cars once again.

3.6 to 60mph for the M850?? Wow. Realistically this is a low 3 sec car. Can't imagine what the M8 could do.

Any speculation on price point? Guessing $110K+ fully loaded?

Interior is decent but not really up to snuff for this price point.
