8 Series [Official] BMW 8-Series Gran Coupé (G16)


The BMW 8 Series is a range of grand tourer coupes and convertibles produced by BMW. The 8 Series was introduced in 1990 under the E31 model code and was only available as a two-door coupé. The E31 was discontinued in 1999 due to poor sales. The model range was later reintroduced in 2018 with the second generation, G15 8 Series. It launched in coupé (G15), convertible (G14), and four-door Gran Coupé (G16) body styles, as the successor to the F06/F12/F13 6 Series lineup.

My take is that the "golden age" of unconditionally eye-pleasing German sedoupes now, with the possible exception of the Porsche Taycan, lies behind us. IMHO, neither the 8er/M8 GC or series II Audi A/S/RS7 live up to their predecessors in terms of exterior design. The M-B C257 CLS is attractive, but couldn't revive the stunning, exciting aura of the original C219. And to me, the X290 AMG GT 4 doors are not particularly good looking automobiles. The Audi eTron GT, despite its' absolutely striking silhouette, simply looks far "too busy" (less could have been so much more).

Accompanying the Taycan, I'm hoping that both Polestar ( with its' upcoming "5") and Lotus (with its' upcoming Type 133) will revive the segment for the design-affine. Maybe AMG will introduce something spectacular with an AMG.EA-based 4 door GT as well. I have no clue what BMW may have in store.

It was supposed to be a limited edition artwork, which would sell out immediately, it was presented a year ago, it should stay in the showroom forever covered with black cloth (to protect the paint)
 
A couple of years later and I’m yet to see a M8GC in the metal ....seems less popular than the M6GC.

The 6er GC is still such a stunning looking automobile to look at.

Oddly enough, saw a 6GC today. Sporty, elegant and understated in one package.

Just like with the 8GT, the 6GT is one to buy only if you are obsessed by the design.

-A 5-Series is cheaper, rides better and os more practical with the same tech.
-M5 more agile and has better resale value
-7-Seriee more practical and comfortable.
