BMW 8 Series Concept Details Released

Mysterae_ · 27 May 2017 at 12:24

The concept design of the new BMW 8 Series has been released and I must say she's a beauty, inside and out

.

What do you all reckon?

Bit "Gopping" at the front.

is this another one of bmw's "well we could do this...." *reveals awesome concept* "but we won't"

Looks like a shark with teeth showing.

Rotty · 27 May 2017 at 13:00

side looks ok but front and back are horrible

Scrutinize · 27 May 2017 at 13:24

Looks nice enough ish but I suspect the likely cost, given where pricing already is on some key M models, will put this up against competition which are preferable in every way.

BMW are being **** teases again.

[TW]Fox · 27 May 2017 at 14:40

I'm really not sure about BMW front end design of late

paradigm · 27 May 2017 at 14:43

That is foul from the front end

Ryan-3 · 27 May 2017 at 14:46

It seems to have the little 'droop' that Audi did to the new A5. Really spoils it.

adolf hamster · 27 May 2017 at 15:01

other question is, what's under the hood?

somehow i get the impression the answer will involve too many turbos for such a beast.

Looks like a hammerhead shark with "Jaws from James Bonds" teeth as it's grill

MooMoo444 · 27 May 2017 at 15:54

They clearly going for that fierce animalistic style shark front but it just doesn't work properly

Dis86 · 27 May 2017 at 16:59

i like it. Only thing I don't like...wheels and steering wheel.

Jumper118 · 27 May 2017 at 17:33

well i suppose now that an 850ci manual sets you back about 50K they need a new one. this doesnt have pop up headlights though

Fantastic profile complimented by Simple, flowing, classic lines and details, making for a classy and handsome car:

Meanwhile in 2017...

Fantastic profile, ruined by over the top, unnecessarily aggressive and outright ugly details making for another BMW...

I'll just go back under my rock!

GravyMonster · 27 May 2017 at 22:59

That is a deeply unattractive looking car.

Marvin · 27 May 2017 at 23:00

Most places seem to be describing this car as gorgeous and svelte etc, but that front end, IMO, is just terrible. Way too aggressive to suit the flowing lines, the grills are far too large with a weird kink, and the profile of the whole front end just sort of falls off the rest of the bonnet. I seriously hope they change the front end considerably before release as I absolutely love the E31.

The rest of it is pretty well done, still fairly slab sided but the detail works well. If it were my imaginary £75k+, I'd take the new Lexus LC, which surprisingly has a much nicer front end.

I think it looks stunning, loved the old 8 series though and I think this shape is a nice modern outlook on it.

LeMson · 28 May 2017 at 10:59

Where's this fit in with the 6 series, M6 and i8?
