Goodwood Festival of Speed 2018 - BMW

raysspl · 07-14-2018, 09:36 PM

Sunset Orange M2C looks good

roastbeef · 07-14-2018, 09:56 PM

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

CachacoF80 · 07-14-2018, 10:48 PM

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.

It’s so nice that they wrote “roadster” on the side, I wasn’t sure what I was looking at.

It’s not that hard to tell, one way or another.

Is it there for the millennials?

Beautiful Beautiful

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.

Chief F1 Fan · 07-15-2018, 07:23 AM

I'd kill to have that Alpina B5 Touring in the USA

JSP///M4C · 07-15-2018, 08:59 AM

Fantastic photos, thanks for posting. I still can't get past these new grill designs.

Awkward and big!

SteveChester · 07-15-2018, 09:19 AM

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

jc68 · 07-15-2018, 09:35 AM

Adding photos I took.

Same here.

It is a thing of utter beauty, especially in that colour.

Mani59 · 07-15-2018, 11:53 AM

Thanks all for the comments about the photos!

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??

OK, got close enough to take these:

brad850csi · 07-15-2018, 02:27 PM

Awesome, thanks for that!

EDWYER · 07-15-2018, 03:42 PM

M8 gran coupe is sick!

Joop! · 07-15-2018, 05:00 PM

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:

Beautiful! I would love to have one!

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
