Finally it's fully working!

It's Sonic Speed Blue, with Carbon Roof and the M Technic pack, Cognac Merino and Piano Black interior for me!

Want one!

Don't get too excited, that's a diesel.

With 680nm torque and starting at under £80k, sounds bloody appealing to me!

A refined tractor, then.

I'd rather have one of these with 750Nm / 553lb ft

You cant beat a high torque petrol engine.

Yea that does make the 8 series look very expensive!

Love the glass application crafted clarity gear shift and digital panel for gear by it.

That looks to be (at a guess) about £20k below list for what is essentially a new M5. That may bode well for those of us who would like to buy a 1 year old for £45k in 2/3 years!

Couldn't find the option to remove that fat ugly backside off the car

Go to spec savers

JustChris · 07-25-2018, 10:31 AM

Expensive 6 series for sure.

The world will just wait for £20k discounts and 0% APR

speedski · 07-25-2018, 10:42 AM

that's really not cheap at all...but then again you've got to account for discounts and brexit

It is compared to an S Class coupe or 911!

It's not comparable with a 911! Even with a proper engine it still wouldn't be.

And I'm dubious that it will be s-class coupe quality (and I am not one to big up mercs!).

But it is more luxurious than a 911 and handles better than the S class coupe!

sahajesh · 07-26-2018, 07:15 AM

People don't buy a 911 for luxury, so those two are not competitors.

I beg to differ, apart from the GT's the 911 is a big soft GT car these days.

I really don't understand all the hate for the new 8 series, I think it's a bloody fantastic looking car with a seemingly great mix of comfort and performance

E60525d · 07-26-2018, 07:24 AM

How can it be a 911 competitor whens its over 400kg+ heavier?

Clearly you have never driven a 911!

So all 911's are track focused sports cars?!

Obviously not. But one thing they ain't, are big soft GT's as you may believe!

Yes this is a BMW forum but lets not kid ourselves, the 8 is not in the same league as the 911 when it comes to driving dynamics.

More space and luxury than the 911 yes, but who buys a 911 for space and luxury!!!
