S Class coupe competitor in 'not an Alpine A-110' shock...

Looks good to me, reckon I'll prefer the GC though. Might as well have some practicality with your power and presence, it isn't a Caterham after all.

Is it an S Class Coupe competitor? It's almost a metre shorter.....

A metre? It's about 15cm shorter.

Oooops, my bad. 20cm.

Not my cup of tea but I bet it's amazing to drive.

To those saying it's just a new 6 series, well yes it is, but the 6 series is now only available as a Grand Turismo, the jacked up ugly crossover thing. Not sure why they done it but it's been no secret and was known for at least 2 years this was happening. It's funny how this is still being questioned on a car enthusiast forum, but why let facts get in the way of criticizing 3 door coupe, with around 600 HP. It's too big, 4 wheel drive, turbo, not straight 6, how stupid of BMW to make a big fast car, and actually able to get the power down, yet usable everyday, they clearly know nothing and these will never sell.

To me M8 cannibalises sales from Bentley CGT?

it's not a pretty car. Please name 1 current BMW that is pretty to the eye... It's all aggressive and a lot of holes and lines,,, they are all just plain ugly, really. But hey, maybe the Chinese just have a different perspective on what looks pretty....

I reckon the key reason why people may like different designs to the ones you like is that this is quite subjective. I quite like the way current BMWs look even though this is not a very important factor for me.

The car in the photos already seems to have 'Competition' badging. The strip under the 'M8' is unreadable but looks the same as that on the M5 and M2 Competition.

As per the picture I posted on page 5...

And yeah, this is just a 6 series replacement, and nobody liked that so lets not get excited about a different number some chump in marketing decided to use.

Nobody liked the 6-series?

Nice second post Jim. Well worth the wait from the last.

However, for basic trolling, MumsNet is better. Or London Feminist Network.

Your call.
