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.

I think its something with the roof line, maybe its less smooth, because the coupe does look better and more cohesive. I think the kink and body panels are just too soft for a car that has such an aggressive front and rear. Its not as crisp/sharp as the 6GC's lines and kink.
And don't get me started on the 8-series interior, for BMW's flagship model it doesn't look or feel like one. Even the 6er's interior looks much better and especially with the nice flowing curves that go from the dash to the center console.
This photo kind of shows off what I'm thinking. Its at this specific angle and the front that I always notice it. Up to the B-pillar its great, but the kink and c-pillar look very "chubby" or even hunched (for use of a better word) and almost resembles the Kia Stinger behind the b-pillar.
