Keep the 6. The 8 looks like a Mustang from the side.

It's a nice car but I seem to like yours better! Not just the colour but the actual design.

BMWs paint game is much better than my last one from 2012.

That M8 does nothing for me. Just doesn’t have the appeal it should. I agree with the mustang look.

Never been a BMW fan. Even they don’t know what to do with new designs especially with those ugly extra large kidney grills.

The M8 sounded tame to me for Aus$380000 + on road costs.

Also not impressed with the shape given the hype....

This was my initial thought as well. I don't like it.

I'm with some of the other guys - your 6 is the one. I'm not a fan of the 8 looks ... from any angle; way too much going on in the back.

The lines on your 6 look so much cleaner and better than the 8. I don't know what the 8 is trying to look like, but if this is the face of BMW to come, no thanks.

If that's yours, she looks great!

If that's someone else's, well, she still looks great.

The spokes and hubs look pretty good, too.

I agree: The M8 totally looks like a Mustang at that angle. I think the 6's proportions are better, which is so heartbreaking because I adore the original, V12 8-series.

You have to see the 8 in the flesh. I was left cold by press pictures but stopped in my tracks when I saw my first on on the road.

I sense that manufacturers are heading to a flatter and drab palette going forward. White and dusty muted greens, blues, greys, etc.
