They also had an M440i parked next to an 8 series. Disappointed to see that they look to be the same size. The 4 looks better than the 8 IMO. Just 25% too big for a tight looking coupe.

The M5 was running since it was being taken out for a test drive. Pretty sweet music emitting from it as well. I need to book a drive myself since my interest for it is renewed
I actually think the roofline/profile of the 8 is more svelte sport coupe, although it does feel quite a bit larger sitting in it and just looking at it. I briefly entertained the idea of getting an 8 instead of the new M4, but even though there are discounts on some of them I still wasn't going to get what I wanted for what I could afford.
