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.

Yep, this. I went to a dealer Sunday and they didn't have a M8GC but had the normal 850i GC. There is definitely something off about that C pillar. It's too bulky. The 6GC wasn't like that.

Again, it wasn't a M8....but the M8 is going to be the exact same shape. Not even close to the M6GC. The interior didn't look anything special, either....the navi screen looks smaller than the 5 series even. I don't like how the navi screen is recessed in there, too....looks like how BMW had it 15 years ago on the 6 series.

I think the M8 coupe looks smooth....but hard pass on the GC.
