Exhaust so loud it’s sets off alarms

Satin white with glossy carbon is an stellar spec. Love it.

Such a striking color. Digging the wheels now.

The eagle has landed in SA.

Would love to see it in the flesh.

Finally a different colour and it looks amazing!

Those 285 mm rear tires look almost "thin" on this beast ... 911 like 305 or even more would give it an even better stance ... 285er rears look ok on a M4 competition ... a M8 needs more

I can't shake the '5 series coupe' feeling I have with this car. It looks so bloated.

From the pics, this machine is crying for wider rear tyres ala AMG-GT63 S 4 Door and Panamera Turbo S. Regardless, it's still stunning

SAme spec as the concept.

I have now resigned to the notion that I will never really care for the BMW 8ers. The car simply doesn't work for me, I suppose.

I would go further and say that in the time in which we have the Taycan the people who buy the 8er should be ashamed

I don't personally feel it's a true 8 Series design. Gran Lusso front end with the horizontal head lights is more 8 Series to me. I still don't understand why BMW won't give their high end models thin chrome rings around the Kindney grill?

BMW is in a weird design imo. The cars are still good looking, but the design language is diluted and kinda stale to be honest. Whatever happened to the OLED tail lights, VFL surfacing, Triangular interior design.

BMW are bringing back yellow headlights at least in the form of the DRLs which I think look awesome.

Its strange the M8 has narrower 285 tyres than the previous M6, which had 295 rears on 20inch rims and looked utterly gorgeous. This 6 GC is too my eyes one of the finest looking BMWs in the current era.

BMW Is Bringing Yellow Headlights Back

The hood is not closed properly. They should pay more attention to details like this, when the car is exhibited.

Somebody obviously opened the hood, then the photos were taken after this....
