Just went to the dealer this weekend and looked at both an M5 and M8GC in person next to each other. Something about the GC just looks off, especially around the rear doors and c-pillar. In pictures it looks good, but in person it just looks more chunky and softer than I thought it would, especially compared to the M6GC, which is weird because the front and rear are more aggressive than the side profile which I still think the kink isn't aggressive enough on either. I will say though the rear doors look much larger and easier to get into than my CLS' rear seats. Either way, M5 has a more cohesive design in my opinion, but nothing will ever topple the M6GC in the looks department, and the two likely drive very similar (haven't tested an M8 yet) other than the electric brakes (which I find unnecessary) and maybe some other small modifications to the M8's driving dynamics.
