i hate how generic looking the 8 series is. just a huge 4 series with a few weird body panels on it.

Thanks for sharing.

Any idea of the wheels of the 8 series? Look very similar to 763m but not orbit grey, they look more silver.

Is it there for the millennials?

I know everyone is looking at the 8 series, and the GC concept, but that Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo Touring is some sweet looking forbidden fruit.

I was down on Friday - sat in that M5. The colour (and car) was absolutely stunning. It's my next car

The fronts are 255/35/ZR 21. As for the rears, I dont have a clear pic of the rear tyre other than the below but looking at it, it looks like 275/30/ZR 21??

Festival of Speed is still on the bucketlist to visit as a Petrolhead...
...nice pictures of displayed BMW's at the Goodwood event.

Blue and white do look good. As is the Sunset Orange colour I saw today at DTM races at Zandvoort:

Great pics, thank you for sharing!

Always thought the bashing on bmws was stupid, like why write "roadster" on the damn roadster or "coupe/gran coupe" are people that fucking stupid? Ruins the look of the cars
