imo the best redesign you've ever done

The shoulder line on the back reminds me a lot of Polestar 1.

Loved the redesign

Daaaaang! That really came alive by the end. 👍 Nice work.

U need to make the grill go up to the base of the windscreen-then it would look like a modern BMW!

This has to be the best redesign of yours I've seen, amazing.

Wow, it looks stunning,the redesign looks much more better than current M8! Bmw car designers should take an example from SketchMonkey!

As a car enthusiasts i have one thing to say!!! Your designs are brilliant!!!wish car industry take inspiration from you😘😘

Maybe an unpopular opinion: Some designs are better left untouched, because you only can ruin them. This car is one example - perfect as it is. A classic.

Low-key unpopular opinion. But that is OK, I respect your opinion.

I want to live in the universe where BMW took your route for their design language over the overly aggressive monstrosities they make these days. Fantastic redesign!

What A masterpiece! Beautiful! Great redesign!

Looks kinda retrofuturistic) Great work!

One of yours best redesigns, looks gordeous elegant, yet keeps the best parts of the original. You put down a lot of work in this one, amd it shows

We reaaaaally need a part 2 for the rear of it🔥

Imo the rear end isn’t nearly as interesting as the front

You got it nearly perfect except for two things: - hood line: it should be just at the top part of the kidneys and headlights, not in the middle of nowhere (this is a main design issue of lot of recent BMW cars) - horizontal slats inside the kidneys instead of vertical lines. Audi has horizontal bars and BMW vertical bars.

This redesign was simply brilliant!

man i love those classic modernized box shaped cars, and i love the way you redesign them, you put some work on them, they feel like they didn't change much Yet again they look much more modernized, new and 1000 times better than what we see now in rl, you really outdone yourself. this is so amazing!!!

I think I’m one of the few who think it just didn’t need it. Looked cool but I don’t think you can beat that original look

I can see a massive way of improving it already And it's what I plan to do with mine when I get one

Holy Hell...thank you!!! Back when Shmee got his M8, I made the comment that it reminded me of a Mustang. The damn BMW fanboys tore me apart. I had 54 comments telling me I was crazy and everything else. I'm glad I'm not the only one that saw it. Thank you very much! Also this looks amazing. You never know though, BMW could make this one day. They have some radical ideas now

Is the front bumper supposed to be asymmetrical? Following what you did on the right, that vent should be invisible from that perspective as it's wrapped around the side and deep into the fender.

Dam this actually looks great! Definitely looks like something BMW would design

Thank you so much for redesigning my favorite car! It was a masterpiece! I love your work!

What a car! Before and after! Always remember these as a kid, wanting an 850CSI and an SL600 on my drive so badly, one white, one black 👌🏼

there are some cars you just can't touch, this is the perfect example, just like an e38, but hey. I still think you have some top-notch redesigns.

So sleek! Really sharp! Definitely a fan of this one!

One of your best yet! I think you really visualized the idea you had.

Glad about this vid, you gave all the effort a classic as this requiered!

The 840i is a very underrated car One of the best driver’s cars ever made and the lines never get old

I'm glad I own the original 1995 bmw 840 series V8 out of Modesto California

The new 8-series is a nice car and I like the looks of the coupe but the old 8-series is where it’s at

Awesome redesign!!

AMAZING WORK 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Finally I I may be one of many who asked you to do a redesign on this automobile and you definitely delivered

The steep and low hood really gives it a distinctive look than the other BMW's and also the grill and light gap,and can u review my designs I'm 14 yrs old

@SketchMonkey, THAT BMW 8-series coupe redesign is knock down, drag out AWESOME!!!!🔥🔥👍 One of your Top 25 Best Redesigns in my opinion!

Great job on one of my favorite BMWs again. I would've kept the kidneys' grill vertical though, because the E31's front face is large enough and doesn't need, in my opinion, more horizontal lines. Keep up the amazing work!

Love it. Really hate the fact popups are gone now.

Just to put my thaughts out: I belive, that the 8 series is verry well kept alive in the bmw i8.

I normally like your stuff, but this feels like you took the wonderfully simple original design and turned it into an updated Pontiac.

You’re a real artist !!

Nice re-design sketch, l think you've made it way ahead of the 21st century now 😀👍

Man, that’s GREAT!

Nice, and just days after I saw one in the wild for the first time!

Easily in your top 10 redesigns. If I ever win the lottery, I am commissioning someone to bring this redesign to life!

I’d be shocked if BMW doesn’t reach out to you to build this amazing design 😳

Great! So we are finally getting closer to the real beauty E24 635CSi. Fingers crossed

Sharp looking redesign. Something about the shape of the kidney grille is giving me Pontiac vibes though.

I love this. If you'd do this styling on the Nazca C2, then we'd have a modern day BMW supercar

Very interesting, I think that ended up working quite well.

Man, you make it look so easy :O

Another nice one. The reason the BMW 8 series came out looking the way it did was because the designers had to meet very strict aerodynamic requirements that was set for them.

After watching you 911 video, outlining the history of it's tail light design, I never noticed how much the 8 series looks like a backwards 911.

This is definitely one of your better ones.

Looks way better than the current 8 Series. I like that you kept the original design. Keeping the 8 series exotic The current 8-series looks like a regular car

One of the best design Ever

I like the redesign overall. I would love to see this car with the typical flared fender arches though. I like the way they give a car a wider, more aggressive looking stance.

thats one of your best, you definetly should complete it, by touching the sholder and roofline more and the A-pillar.

Wow, you should be really proud of this one!

One of the first actions: Increase the size of the kidney grills :D But love the redesign! Very nice work

Uuhh I love this car and I loved the redesign 😍

I love it *I didnt pay my taxes since 15 years*

Great work

absolutely stunning! Classic and spoerty at the same time, like the original

YESSSS! I love the original 8 series! This rendering reminds me of the Porsche Flat Nose. 👍

Super cool!

bro bmw made a weird 240sx that looks good.

Looks so cool

IT LOOKS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!

Looks a bit like a sad face :D The perspective is a bit off. I always found it helpful to flip sketches horizontally - it fixes that blindness for perspective mistakes. I wouldn't do it for sketches that are already published, though, that could ruin your day.

sick redesign!!

Looks pretty nice ngl i like it

Turned out great, the rear end and shoulder line remind me a lot of the polestar 1 though...

You just made that sleek chic looking car look like a raccoon.

I totally agree! The current "8-series" is just a new 6-series... It even has a B-pillar. They simply called it 8-series for marketing strategy... The *E31 8-series* is the One & Only 8-SERIES! Cheers

You should do a series on all the pop-up headlight greatest hits and modernize them, stuff like the Lotus Esprit, Ferrari Testarossa/355/456, C4/C5 Corvette, Nissan 300ZX, Lambo Countach etc

Wow, fantastic

I love the long flat design of the original 8. This design looks like a propper modernisation. Its so clean, it looks like it could be an electic car to compete with the porche taycan it it where a 4 door version! Pop-up headlights were originally created to meet the required minimum height for headlights, so sadly this one wouldn't be legal as is. I think they have to be at a minimum 60cm from the ground.

The kidneys are so small that i can barely recognize it as a modern BMW

Looks great

Miss those golden days when @thesketchmonkey used to spend more time and invest more heart into designing these cars.

...you dared...and you nearly nailed it....still a lot of design tuning on this sketch but great job and right begining to go on with.....the front might be more inspired with BMW Nazca C2 prototype....

Final render us stunning

I'm not a huge Beamer guy, but I would totally drive that.

Good design!

Woow, my favourite BMW!!👌

YES.

Perfect 👍😎

I was skeptical about changing design of this 8 series, but it turned out to be not bad

Thanks :)) the old 8 series is one of my top 3 cars and this looks fucking amazing.

I thought you had read my comment about the Genesis X loooking like the first 8 series... Awesome job
