M8GC?
Any M5 owners here thinking of moving to the M8 Gran Coupe? I have been wrestling with it a little. Love my M5 and its only a year and a half old but that M8 looks fantastic.

No. M8 is too small for me too. I have 2 small kids and bought the M5C to haul them around.

Anybody know the weight difference between the two? Had a 6 series Gran Coupe and it was a heavy sumbitch.

I thought when you sold your M5 you were going to wait for the next M3 to come out???

So the M8 Grand coupe is heavier and longer? That means a big no for me.

Button line :
M8 GC looks much better, big time head turner, but not necessarily is a better car, and 40 k more expensive you can get a manual CPO m2 with that money and probably have more fun! |

Why surprised? It’s an 8 series and the M5 is a 5 series. Of course bmw will want the higher series to produce more power. It’s like comparing a Camaro to a corvette, the corvette is always going to be more powerful as it is the higher model.

Two cars can have the same power figures and one is faster than the other. Different suspension, gearing, differentials, transmissions, weight distribution, etc. If you compare the F10 M5 and the F06 M6, two completely different cars with the same power figures.
