Also this is supposed to be a more closer and earlier look at the up-coming 8 series.

Here's the 8-Series Concept

8 Series Concept Rear

Excited to see the 8 back but I'm going to miss the Z4

looks fuckin badass

Looks like a fatter m6 wtf...

That's fucking ugly

Wait, the Z4 is gonna go?

God machine

>those massive fucking nostrils
At least it's not as squinty as the concept car

it needs all the cooling it can get

Didn't the Z4 stop racing a while ago? All I remember from Daytona this year was the M6.
I'm looking forward to seeing the M6 and M8 side by side.

I don't know how they do it, but BMW never fails to make something ugly and boring, even their race cars.

Its getting a relainch and removal from racing as BMWs main car.

Nice!

>say they're planning on thinning the next gen 6 and giving the M a quad turbo
>instead just kill the line entirely and make which is just an even fatter 6

sasuga bmw

>I'm looking forward to seeing the M6 and M8 side by side.

Why would they be side by side? Serious question, I just assumed this would replace the M6es.

That was what the original 8 series was you retard.

It looks more like the outgoing 6 than the previous 8 to his credit.

that thing makes the M6 look small wtf
