Nice boat.

John Tanglewood · 11-20-2019, 04:51 PM

That green metallic individual color is insane!

Kr0m3assass1n · 11-20-2019, 04:55 PM

A concept car always does.

Think larger wheels with spacers, lower suspension, blacked out windows and taillights...

954MM · 11-20-2019, 05:12 PM

As nice as I think it is, it just doesnt have the same appeal as the M6 GC sadly

nathanm4 · 11-20-2019, 05:17 PM

So nice 👍

What planet have you been on? The 8 GC was just released, how can you justify that it's doing "very well" considering that the 8 coupe and 8 convertible were axed prior to the M release? My BMW sources tell me that the 8 is not doing well.

That is the nicest BMW of the last 10 years.

If only I could afford one!

AndroidRobot · 11-20-2019, 05:37 PM

That green is gorgeous!

JMon · 11-20-2019, 05:39 PM

So is the back seat just as usable as an M5 or does the M5 still have the upper hand? I'm a little concerned how the center console goes all the way to the back seat. My kids would kick the snot out of that.

am3r1ka · 11-20-2019, 05:41 PM

Really wanted to see shots with the yellow headlights

M3 Adjuster · 11-20-2019, 05:41 PM

Slackers .... Forgot to call it the " First ever " BMW M 8 grand coupe first Edition.

LemonOne · 11-20-2019, 05:47 PM

Good job M8

F32Fleet · 11-20-2019, 05:55 PM

Panamera competitor?

LeMans E90 · 11-20-2019, 05:59 PM

Looks great. Cant wait to see this along with the X5M and X6M this Friday!

ASAP · 11-20-2019, 06:03 PM

nice car but this is a straight up aircraft carrier; whats the curb weight?

M5 is going to have the upper hand for headroom and that center console thing, though if your kids can behave and you don't need the trunk space (trunk is quite a bit smaller than 5 series) then I would say go for it

Thanks Bmw but I prefer my own "first edition" at least the paint is frozen red rather than regular metallic paint
