Interior, tick.
Front, standard.
Rear, could I have a tarted up Kia in the rear please?
Another one to see in the flesh before final opinions...
But I’ll say it again, what are they doing with that rear, it’s just so.. Kia.

New 8 Series
Is it simply a new '6 series' that they've decided to call an '8 series'?
Although, despite the older 6s & 8s never being for sale in the same periods, I'd have expected the 8 series to be more the size of a 7-series coupe, rather than a 5-series coupe.

4 series on steroids? Modern BMWs are far too similar. It will probably be good ( despite the runflats) but it's just a variation on a theme. At least the old 8 series had its own style.

It's nice but very similar to quite a few other models in the range. It makes a very decent looking race car though. A works team are fielding two cars in the GTE class at the 24hrs du Mans this weekend...I'll be watching !
Drove a few 840Ci and 850CSi back in the day. Plenty of oomph but always felt heavy and you REALLY had to stand on the brakes !
You can't beat the old E31 8 series though. A handsome beast ! Drove a few 840Ci and 850CSi back in the day. Plenty of oomph but always felt heavy and you REALLY had to stand on the brakes !

I like the interior, it’s not ground breaking but it’s pleasing enough.
But (and I doubt I’ll change my mind) just look at that over designed and frankly messed up rear! Remember this is a 100 grand car. You get Merc s class coupe for that money which is sublime looking.
The rear styling just doesn’t match the sides and looks wrong IMO. Childish and incohesive.

It looks like the front end of a Lexus....the b*astard love child of the Predator.

The front looks like any other BMW, but that rear is minging!
Still I couldn't afford one even if I did like it!
