The 8 Series is back! But does it look like a mustang or is it just me?
 

As title states - I see mustang!

I suppose it's likely to replace the 2-door 6 series, and make the 6 series a 4-door only model.

another gran touring car. LC500 isnt doing that well, and neither are the 650 coupes, CLS, etc.

Not sure why they would make a low volume GT car when the market is already soft.

because they can.

If the new z4 can be a Supra, why can’t the new 850i be a Mustang GT

I loved the old 8 series because it looked like nothing else that BMW had at the time. This looks like any other current BMW coupe, just bigger...

I opened this thread with a bunch of others, and forgot the title when I got to it and saw the picture. I definitely thought it was a Mustang until I saw the front end.

I can't unsee it. So the new 8 series GT looks like the Mustang GT, the new MB A-Class looks like a Volvo crossbred with an Infiniti, a Sonata, and some S3 genes in there. The new Camry is way more wild than the Lexus ES.

It's interesting to see the more economy manufactures design more out of the box designs, and the luxury mfgs taking design cues from the aforementioned.

^^ the new Camry is hideous, but I gotta give em credit for trying something different

wasnt the i8 related to the 8 series?

hehe mustang

What does this mean? Is ^ the first person above you, and ^^ 2 people above your post? I've seen you do it in other threads, then I get confused if your comment is directed to me, and then I feel bad bc I didn't answer IF you were asking me LOL.

Anyway, the Camry design is interesting. I like the black colored camry better, I actually haven't seen that many Camrys in other colors. I'd imagine white to be pretty gross. Still better than the Civic Hatch turbo

^^^^^ He's addressing you, doesn't matter how many top hats he puts

They copied many of the design cues from the Maxima, so it's not really something different.

In this case it was obvious. But I guess I should reply to him in "What Did You Do To Your Car Today"

"The invisible roof line" = maxima

I still see mustang.. but it also looks like they took an M4 and stretched it. Reported to have 530hp, powered by a twin-turbo V8. 0-60 in 3.7 secs (seems slow/average for today's standards). Comes standard with a 8-speed slushbox and xdrive. Do they even make rwd only BMWs anymore?

^^ Are those the actual pics? It doesn't look special at all and I'll take a lc500

The front end does remind me of the old 8 series

So why wouldn’t you just buy the m6

You mean like all the M cars? yes.

That's a big ass coupe. The driver looks so small in comparison haha. I'm excited to drive one of these.

M6 reported to have 600hp, probably a tune and aero. They don't make em like they used to

The new m5 is standard with m x-drive

With how high tech we are now, I can't tell if it's a rendering or not. But these are the only pics that are out. If I had the money, I'd buy an i8, looks the same from the back and gas is expensive LOL

someone need to bring pop up head light back.

Which has a 2wd mode, sounds like the best of both worlds

It looks like a redesigned 4 series imo.

Let's see here...
Back end looks like a Camaro and side and quarter views look like a warmed-over Mustang..

Yup, BMW has done it again! Managed to repackage something we already have, and charge 20k+

Seems legit to me
