have you notice how hard it is to sell a F12/13/06 650 right now? That'll be the 850's issue in 6 years. Once the M variant comes out, the mid-level, low volume, $100k car will not be desirable.
And now that BMW is starting to rebrand and really differentiate the M cars themselves into base, Competition, CS, GTS (not saying there will be a CS/GTS for the large cars), even the base will get marginalized and commoditized.
So, if you love the new 8's design....wait for the M8, and then wait again for the M8 ZCP, and then wait some more for the LCI, and then another year for the end of life cyle edition cars, and then swoop in for the one you want...preowned. And then perhaps like the 6 series, the M8 GC will be more desirable than the coupe?
After seeing all the LCI and end of life changes they made to the M6, I'm going to predict that the most desirable M6 GC will be a 2015 6MT ZCP. Likely there will only be less than 20 out there in US, I wish I waited for one, but I was swayed by the preinstalled Akra and instant gratification on my '14 DCT ZCP car!
