Correct. The headlights make it better than the 6 gran coupe

Side note: I don’t like that purple

I actually like the looks of the GC more than the coupe, which was not the case of the previous generation 6 series.

But the gold caliper paint just made me notice the cheap sliding rear calipers. Come on BMW, this is a 6-figure car, a t least put a nice looking 2-piston caliper back there fer chriss akes.

Agree 100% - that was one of the first things I noticed as well.

This is big win for the modern BMW brand and I would gladly rock one over a Panamera. Now, where is my IPO money when I need it...

Looks better than the AMG GT sedan, too.

Yup. Look like a bullet train, and pulls like one too.

Any long, slopey sedan is going to have some similarities, but the M8 appears much lower/shorter to me.

Yeah, likely. Answer is probab ly...

The side window(s) shape is a close match.

The roofline “swoop” to the back into the spoiler is what caught my eye... and the non-Hofmeist er, non-kink on that rear window.

Besides the M2, it’s the first modern BMW I’ve lusted after for some time!

This hypothetical 2-or-more piston caliper wouldn’t need to be any more powerful than the sliding caliper that’s on there, just less cheap looking.
