E9TOU · 05-26-2017, 01:41 PM

M8 GTE Pro or some kind of race car because there's a giant wing in the back.

That totally looks like the M4 GT4. GTS hood + bigger wing.

M4_GTS · 05-26-2017, 01:52 PM

Looks like they are revealing more than one car this year.

Hopefully the m8 is nastier.

No. Look at the freeze frame image on the homepage.

You mean the nasty paint job? I didn't get much if an impression, unless you're extrapolating from the concept car..

TunedM2C · 05-26-2017, 02:15 PM

Surely it's the limited edition M Sport 840i x-drive 1 of 840 launch editions that comes with uber special edition floor mats and a $10k premium.

stefan · 05-26-2017, 02:16 PM

Ooh ooh. Is it tack on carbon fibre bits and some unique paint for a "special edition" model?

The Automotive Enthusiast · 05-26-2017, 02:32 PM

The M8 LIVES!

3s-a-charm · 05-26-2017, 02:50 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong but there's never been a production M8, right?

fourscore · 05-26-2017, 03:03 PM

Maybe the car shown is a red herring and the clue is in the 'too many' and refers to the M2?

PARTS@STBMW · 05-26-2017, 03:21 PM

georgere · 05-26-2017, 03:25 PM

M5 release

benny Blanco · 05-26-2017, 03:25 PM

Will they show it without a camo???

irshad · 05-26-2017, 03:44 PM

its actually the replacement for the m6.

No because the current heavy GT-oriented M6 is upped to an 8er or M8 and the next gen 6er/M6 will be smaller and lighter to compete with the 911 and AMG GTS

airfish · 05-26-2017, 04:06 PM

M3.5 Hatchback

No. The next generation 6er is the the 6 GT and will replace today's 5 GT.
