So in the end it's a regular M Sport 850i and not an M850i according to the body color mirrors... Which makes a potential M860i slightly more likely now. And so the M Sport does have the optional carbon fiber roof as had been suggested by the rumors.

Can't wait to see a Gran Coupe version of this. Size will be wonderful with 4-doors

M860i is highly likely, same engine as M760iL, V12 coupe in a long time.

The weak fart sound is just childish and kind of embarresing. The majority of customers of this car is not in their 20's. I hope for a grand coupe and a V12, as for a V8 turbo, with this sound, AMG is just laughing of it.

As far as I heard no V12, it would mess up the dynamics of the vehicle because the engine is too heavy... Not my words, but from the higher management levels at BMW M.

right cause based on your ownership history you have owned cars that are really up there in the sound department lol

BS. For a Non-M car it sounds better than any regular mercedes benz V8 model. Heck the sound is reminiscent of my SL63 - just a little bit quiter. I'm in my 20's and I'm not sure what you implied with that comment about age. As someone with a 6er AND an AMG SL I'm pretty much the target customer for this new 8 series/M8 and so far I'm impressed.

I for one hope there isn't a GranCoupe because it takes away from the exclusivity of owning a high end 2 door coupe by making it more accessible and utilitarian. I agree about the V12 though. A $160k M860i would single handedly make both the S65 2 door and SL65 redundant.

Yea meanwhile there’s also a M car with no cf roof or M mirror. Does it even matter?

I would like to understand your deduction process... because somebody drives an i3, he can no longer have an opinion about exhaust sound, correct? Oops, just considered my own list, I better shut up then.
