The 2er GT made the front of the 8er look cheap. Very incoherent design.

How did the 2er GT make the front look cheap?
They are not even remotely similar?

This last set of photos shows that you can have a beautiful car in a beautiful place with ideal weather to portray it, but if you have no talent or desire to do the job, each and every one of them will be deplorable

Very weird to see a BMW with a panoramic roof that folds like this

The E63 6er introduced a tilt and slide sunroof but didn't open wide enough. It just slid slight over the roof.

I have seen 8GC for the first time and am genuinely surprised by how good it looks. It's certainly make the sedan great again. From all angles it looks like a car that was designed to be a four door coupe. The shape is a touch more volume than the 6GC and has an Aston Martin Lagonda/Rapide vibe. I like the short rear overhang too.

Without a doubt, this is a car that deserves individual colours and optional alloys.

It does look good I’m those pictures .....where would you rank it in terms of looks?

I consider it and the CLA the most beautiful and well proportioned 4d coupes available. They have a high sense of newness compared with their predecessors but are not brutal nor too masculine in appearance.

The AMG GT4D has great presence but is a hit or miss depending on spec.

Photos to project the sheer length and sleekness of the 8GT. It's a whole 5 meters long which obviously plays into its aesthetic very well.

CLA not CLS?

CLA not CLS?

Yes the CLA.

The 1st and 2nd gen CLS were sensual but the rear of the 3rd gen doesn't gel with the front end. IMO off course.

It’s certainly not an ugly car I do like the small A class based cars from Mercedes.

That is true and also the car is too good to need much that in the end would end up getting dirty

Fantastic news. I have said it before and I will say if again, the 8-Series needs individual colours to stand out. This is especially true for the M8.

One caution about this promotion is that individual colours can add a 1-3 month delay to delivery.

Other than that, I am all for it and look forward to seeing unique March-September built cars.
