8 Series (G15) [Official] BMW 8-Series Gran Coupé (G16)

Not as pretty as I thought it would be but better looking than anything in its class.

Looks are very subjective, but I have to question anyone’s taste who reckons the AMG GT is better looking than this.

@Matski

Comparison with the 8er coupe?

As promised;

 

[klier]

Guys, what are you smoking? The A7 more elegant? A fast back with wrong proportions and the fakest exhaust tips on earth? The MB AMG GT 4 door is also not a looker.

Relax, he got his agrees from the regular gang of MB trolls. We just can't see that anymore.

As promised;

Amazing, as always.

Quite surprised how far forward the A7’s windshield is!

It’s a big car to say the least - looks like the most practical out of the bunch (in terms of leg space/wheelbase)

Wow front overhang on the A7 is shorter? WTF BMW?

I think this more a well done for Audi than a WTF for BMW. They clearly could have given the 8-er a shorter front overhang, since it could fairly easily match that of the F90 (as above).. it'd probably just look a bit weird... now it look long and low... not stubby and weird.

The German configurator only displays low res 360 view and no save button...

The antenna in the 8 Series Gran Coupe is now integrated into the rear window glass.

No shark antenna on the 8er Coupé either, nor on the Cabriolet naturally. Just like there hasn't been any on the previous 6er range.

€8 on Ebay

It's not a problem.

Now THIS is more like it.:

This is the best angle from which to view the exterior of the 8er Gran Coupe...

Never on BMW’s big coupes, you n00b

..or the 6er before the last. And it already was a thing during that period.

I didn't say color me stupid for no reason...

That's clever, Betty .

While I understand why the 2-door won't get the V12, the GC screams for it.

Absolutely, like I said in the past, this is one variant of the 8er that is screaming for it. If BMW can justify a V-12 in the 7er, then it makes absolute sense that the 8er GC gets a V-12 regardless of if we are going to get an 8er GC M.
