New BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe

[CarMad 742]

Booster - Looks like BMW are just about to announce your next car! They have just announced the concept (soon to be final) example at Geneva today.

They've put the bloody grille on upside down again.

I've been waiting for my next car!

The first photo in Carmad's post looks great. The M version in the Evo link, not so good!

Agree a standard M-Sport model will suit it down to the ground. 

Also this is still semi concept so it will still get a few tweeks. 

So they have made a 6 series an 8 Series and a 5 series GT into a 6 series 6, ok then. Anyway looks the business and I bet inside it will be a bit special, the 7 certainly is.

Oh my.  Oh my word. 

Booster, can we arrange so that you buy this car but I keep it and drive it??

or the AMG-GT...

I kind of want to like the AMG GT 4 door, but, well ... it's hideous.

Looks good! I'm going into to see a showroom coupe this week!

[Booster 1,125]

Went to see it yesterday. FAR better in the flesh than it looks in photos.

[CarMad 742]

Excellent, time to get the deposit down for an 840d Gran Coupe then.

That does look good!

What happened to the wing vents though?

[CarMad 742]

Not far off now...

It looks very much like an A5 in those photos.

Having done a finance deal for a client this week that looked incredible value, it is hard to justify the price of the 8 GC.

The deal was for a 540i XDrive M Sport with just about every option box ticked.

I built it on the BMW site and it came to £68,600.

The car was registered in December and had never left the showroom.

They had it up for £42950 and he did a deal at £41k to include the £450 RFL.

That is hell of a deal on a car that does 0-60 in 4.8 seconds.

Yeah that very true, it depends on buying a car with your heard or your head. 

Always nice to strike a happy medium I guess or go nearly new and let someone else take the hit on the early depreciation.
