Hi all,

Rear diffuser is too much. Back end looks more like the X series

I was there today. There isn't enough leg room for an adult in the back. Yep, less practical than an M4.

Being able to take your friends out perhaps? It seemed to have less space than the 6 series.

If you move the front seats you'll still be able to sit right?
I remembered that MB S Coupé doesn't have that much leg room in the back either.

Nope. I adjusted the passenger seat and put my son in the back and the seat started to crush his knees. He is 5'10".

Oh I see, that's definitely too small. I'm sure M4 can fit you and your son comfortably.
Don't know where does those extra length go with the M850. The car is much longer than M4 right?

Yes M4 is fine. Unfortunately the Mustang is the same. Longer than the M4 but less interior space.

True! I had a Mustang GT before the M4. The backseat is for pet... I'm 5'7, I can barely fit in there. And mustang is actually funny because if you sit up, your head will be right under the rear windshield.
So private moonroof for people in the backseat of the Mustang! lol

Interesting that the carbon fiber mperformance "rear diffuser" is only partial. That rear has too much going on.

Makes sense there is no back seat room, it's smaller than the 6er it replaced. It's just wider track by like 1.2 inches and a shorter roofline

That blue is stunning. I love it with the white interior.

I don't understand the hate for the rear. In my opinion the rear is the most daring and unique part of the design. The rest of the car is very generic BMW.

The M6 GC Concept's quad tail pipes really set the car off. These trapezoidal ones frankly look dorky. I think it's because all these lame CUVs like the Q5 have a similar design, so we associate it with such cars.

Agreed - the back end is busy with all those lines going in 10 different directions.

The rest of the car looks pretty good in my opinion.
