Always loved the 6 series but the 8 looks better in every way IMO.

I was thinking the exact same thing as I scrolled down!!

Coupe is F13, Vert is F12

Love both cars.

The 6 series has aged very well.

I honestly must agree same here.

rpagianotto · 06-15-2018, 04:45 PM

I like that the 8er is actually a little smaller than the 6er. How does the weight compare tho?

talaipwros · 06-15-2018, 04:48 PM

ehm, so any reason why 840d is an eye-watering £14.000 ( fourteen thousand pounds) more expensive than the 640d?

Came for embarrassing 6GT pics, leaving disappointed.

Except for the back seats where I think the 6 was better.

the move upmarket isn't cheap.

but the 840d has the same price as the 740d x-drive msport.
and is based on 5 series

now the 850 has a different much more powerful engine than the 750 so fair enough

but on the twin turbo diesel, the engine is the same I think

Anyway, it is a nice looking car

6er will go down as one of the most interesting BMW interior designs from the company's history. New car's interior is more of the same.

I don't see it tbh. The only similarities is that the side has one door and two windows. After that I don't see the resemblance whatsoever. In fact the pictures together highlight just the overall crappiness of quality of the Mustang (but that could just be the photo quality).

pepsih · 06-15-2018, 05:42 PM

WOW Im shocked!
the 6 is my favorite BMW (not because i own it I always loved it)
but the 8 is a whole new level i LOVE IT. can't wait to see it on the streets

SamS · 06-15-2018, 05:47 PM

As typical, the front end/grill of a BMW ages the "worst". Side profile and rear lights of the F13 still look modern. The front... not so much.

Eddien123 · 06-15-2018, 06:00 PM

This just proves how much of a bargain a used 6er is. Both cars look so good obviously the 8 is prettier for sure but I think the 6er and the new 8 are some of the best looking cars bmw has ever designed

Cuz5150 · 06-15-2018, 06:44 PM

Never understood why BMW axed the 6 series, and why this new car 8 series is has moved up the number chain. To me, it looks like a 6 series that BMW decided to slap a 8xx badge on the rear....
