I just saw an 8 series another day, what a gorgeous car. I hope this one can live up to the previous one standards.

Yep. Looks just like a BMW.
Also a good indication as to why people should not get all excited about concept renders.

Not feeling that at all. In fact I'm not feeling most of the Bimmers and Mercs these days. The M3 is the only exception. The F80 may just be the best looking M3 ever.

If I'm looking at a super luxurious grand tourer, unless I need four seats, I am going Lexus LC500 or Aston Martin Vantage all day every day over this.

There's a guy at my work who drives a current M6. And as if the car wasn't well engineered by the M team at BMW he has proceeded to lower it on KW V3's, put a flimsy CF and probably fake rear diffuser, a stupid Meisterschaft exhaust that was like $2500 and sounds like shit, wrapped in a putty grey with black roof. The wheels are huge and ridiculously cheap looking 2 pce design way below an M car style and class.
First, to me the 6 series body looks like a lady's car. Then adding rapper style bling makes it a total loser to me. I'd put that chassis into a less pouffy looking body if ever the need for a heavy 500 HP daily driver arises. The original 8 series wedge was nice in its time. I think Eric Lindros drove one in the day. If the M6 and Aston Martin were close in price it would be the Aston hands down for me. However the M6 might be a nice ride for the wife, who dislikes sedans.
