this interior is the best part. I love that we don't need giant ugly steering wheels to have airbags nowadays. Hello spaceship

>>17266581
Kinda looks like a sexier Honda Accord Coupe from this angle

>>17266538
I'm sad they've decided on a practical engine/output for the 8 revival. Would have been neat to see a nutso powertrain, something around 600+ hp. I'm aware it probably will in M trim but would've set a nice precedent in the basic car

Why the fuck won't BMW raise the fender fascia vents and give us a proper box coupe hommage like pic related. Wouldn't work for the 8-series, but it's just the most noticeable on the front of it.

>>17266678
Maybe a headlight position regulation or a pedestrian safety thing. No idea. Car design anons pls chime in

the 8 series will never compete with the c class
the c63 is getting btfo by the m3 and m4 btw
also i am 90% sure the top trim 8er will use the same 6.6 V12 from the new m760i

New 1 series has a similar front but it has ugly grilles like all new BMWs

>>17266538
This car is going to flop because it's gonna blend into the glut of GT tourers out there. It hardly even looks different from the 6 series. They should have treated it as a halo car and just gone wild with it, but perhaps BMW is too full of bean counters to do that anymore

>>17266778
it looks okay but what's not exciting is the fact that it will compete with the S class coupe which means it will probably be a boring landbarge like the new Lexus LC

It is also a concept, which mean it will look nothing like it in the final version. The steering wheel definitely.

Change the grill to a darker colour see how that looks. I think just it's chrome material draws attention.

>>17269099
>>17269351
desu i think it's the width of them. Make it more akin to the old 8 and i think it will be neat

Concept looks okay I guess. I don't think that BMW will come up with a Mercedes competitor anytime soon though because they are fucking retarded.

>>17269058
>Hopefully it lives up to the hype.
it will be fat and expensive it wont be an S coupe -> what's the point?
They should save the R&D money and focus on thei "affordable, sexy, fun to drive two-door coupes and roadsters" niche besides their regular people carriers. They got it right with the M2, probably the only car in their entire line-up that is not inferior to a Mercedes, at least it's the only new BMW I would want at the moment.

>>17269395
mercedes competitor?
BMW has competitors for most of Mercs lineup.
I actually hope BMW will stop making Mercedes competitors because Benz is boring shit while BMWs are drivers cars

Not bait, I work at a Benz dealership, drive them every day but I own a BMW and will never own a Mercedes again (have owned 2 mercs)
1. No manuals
2. Uninspiring gearboxes
2. soft suspension
3. can't fully disable T/C even on the AMG's
4. poor weigh balance
There is a reason Mercs are called cars for old men

>>17269975

AMG GLA45 is more driver's car then any BMW, how sad is this shit.

>>17270550

>>17270563
You know it's much easier to get hp/l from small engines right?
For instance a built 125cc dirtbike engine makes almost 400hp/l at only 12k rpm.

It's really on dependent on stroke length and cost of valve train, and the higher the displacement the less the hp/l.

Modern ICE engines are basically maxed out within the constraints of emissions and consumer fuel grades.

>>17270563
445hp from a 4.4 liter is over 100hp/l fucking imbecile
holy fuck you're retarded

Nevertheless, getting 280hp from a fucking 5.6L engine is fucking ridiculous.

>>17270848
What kind of engine gets 280hp from a 5.6 liter? some 20 year old V12?
BMW already had a N/A 290hp 3.0 liter 6cyl back in the E36.

>>17270848
>reading comprehention
You just literally stated that 445 hp from a 4.4 liter is the same as 50hp/l from a V12 faggot

>>17270915
He means the S70B56 but it's 280 kW not hp
dumb tripfag can't even read

>>17270967

>>17271000
Wait disregard that I suck cocks. Can't into reading.

445-hp from a twin turbo 4.5 liter v8... it had better have the biggest most impresive torque curve in the history of everything.

That is downright fucking shameful. how do you even fuck up that bad. Shit sake porsche is getting 500hp from an n/a 4.0 and that is detuned a bit.

>>17271015
445hp from a 4.4 liter will be the base model
BMW already had a 600hp 4.4 V8 in the (now discontinued) F10 M5

>>17268742
plus the S70 engine was so good it was put in mclaren F1's

>>17271033
445hp from a twin turbo 4.4 liter v8 is still pretty aweful. I know this is close to shitposting and bench racing but how do you get such low power numbers from a twin turbo v8. Is it just detuned as much as possible so they can charge more for the still reliable m edition?

>>17271054
you can make 500+ hp from a N54 from the e90 3 series with hardly any serious mods.

>>17271054
it's the same 4.4 that produces 600+hp only detuned so it can be sold on the cheap version. Same as BMW 3 litre 6cyls that are either detuned or tuned from 300-450hp

>>17271066
AWESOME i love crippled shit!

>>17271061
stop lying on the internet. its bad.

>>17271184
He's right though, stage 2 335i gets roughly 450-500 hp

>>17271247
stage two will get you in the 450 range, 450 tops from what I have read.

>>17271149
No one makes you buy the base models
