Is the black coupe running 21" wheels? Just looked much better than the blue. With the exception of the awful interior..

Agree fully with the first two points (maybe wrong software loaded?). The blue really accentuates how different the production version is from the sharp concept car, the dark 840d looks a lot better

I'd say of all the current applications (G02 X4, G15 8er, G20 3er) of the new slim L-shaped 3-D tail lights, it looks most at home on the 8er.
Just looks purposeful, sleek, and svelte.

totally agree; they do look purposeful on the 8, whereas on the 3 and X4 it almost looks like cut corners. but I understand what they're trying to do.

Looks great overall.
The X5 in the gauge cluster is pretty funny though

An 840d, but no M850d.
I don't understand why BMW puts the B57D30C and its predecessor, the N57S, into the 5 Series, X5, X6, 7 Series, and soon, the X7, but not the outgoing 6 Series nor the new 8 Series. Instead, the latter top out with the 40d models. I guess people who buy a diesel sport coupe (or convertible or Gran Coupe) don't do it for the performance, and by corollary, people who buy these cars for performance don't buy a diesel? |

By the way, the current(or "old" by now ?) 6-series also has this kind of L-shaped tail light and those look great too. |

I believe that I read that you can choose your welcome graphic for the infotainment system. why this option is available I do not know. maybe it's similar to the coding options in the other cars in that all software can be loaded to any model

I'm sure folks at BMW knows better than me but I think BMW is looking cheaper on every model change. No graceful lines anymore. Or am I just getting older and getting out of trend?

What a trash interior. If BMW thinks they can take down the S-Class with this garbage, they're gravely mistaken.
