Hi, an update on my situation. Originally, I advertised my F10 on the original post here and I received 3 asking price offers in 2 days. I had secured a F90 Comp as well with Sytner (below)

However, I decided not to sell, I have just renewed the BMW warranty for one more year. The F10 is clearly in demand if you have the right spec etc and I decided to keep. The F90 is good but I can’t warrant selling mine for 22-23k and 54k for the newer one. They are dropping like a stone, I will wait another year or two.

I can’t imagine my F10 loosing much more value in the next year or two. The F10 clearly suits my needs at this moment of time, I didn’t fancy parting with 54k when it hit the crunch.

Slightly off topic, facelift F90 M5’s seem to be in the early to mid-60’s. Early 60s now buys you this M8 GC, anyone been in a Gran Coupe M8? The interior seems sublime and I know the whole thing about engine and transmission being the same, is this packaged in a better and a meaner aggressive body? Any experiences will be appreciated.

So an update on this thread, initially I wanted to sell my F10 and jump into the F90 M5, then I changed my mind…There was something stopping me, the F10 hit the sweet spot and the F90 wasn’t making me want to make the move I think….

Anyway fast forward a month, sold the F10 this week to a happy buyer. Amazing car the best I have owned and after 5 years of ownership I got the same monies I paid for it in 2018.

Now onto the new, M8 Competition Gran Coupe, 21 Plate. Technology Pack and Comfort Pack Plus, Bowers Wilkins, Auto Driving, Rader cruise control, side and rear blinds and many more other options to say the least. The thing looks so menacing, different to all other BM’s, big, wide, and low slung, everyone on YouTube mentioning it’s the best-looking BMW in the current range. To mention the interior, Nappa leather everywhere and quilted leather giving it a Bentley feeling. The centre console and dash making it more special. Not driven it never been in one but hey picking it up on Monday.

Best of all 21 Reg under 20k miles and same price as a F90 M5 on a 21 Reg and 20k miles. Anyone have any experience with these cars? BTW Boot is small that doesn’t bother me as we have another car, we use for shopping etc. This just felt special and made me do the move…

Congrats BM I'd have a M8 over over the M5 in a heart beat if I didn't have 2 kids and all the kit they come with. What's the initial impressions? This thread is light on pics lets see before and afters?

Thanks Bud, few things stopped me from moving over the F90, I found the F10 was very curvy and I know its subjective but the F90 looked bland outside and I was going to pay double the monies for much better interior and an X-Drive system? The Mrs and the kids always told me why you buying that car it looks the same as yours

However the M8 different level, the stance and the silhouette is unmissable, super car type like an Aston Martin from the rear and 3rd quarter angle. The interior is something else and the rear seats are massive but only cater for two but it perfectly fits our criteria. I only do 3k miles a year and this is the prefect car, unmissable, striking and the rarity factor made it special. I've never seen many on the road and I live in an area where Ferraris, Porches, M5s etc. are quite visible.

Deposit paid, its in prep picking it up this Monday, train ticket booked traveling from South to the Midlands to collect. Main dealer etc.

This is what I mean by the unmissable Silhouette M8 GC, It might be marmite to some but to me it looks phenomenal:

Picked up the M8 GC yesterday. So far pleased..

BMW Antonymous driving is amazing, car steers itself and brakes and keeps you in lane as well...Ride so much more compliant than the F10 M5 and that had a decent ride.

Getting used to the sheer size. The road presence and luxury inside on a another level.

What a beauty

Hope your enjoying her, missing her...
