[@Zertyup]

I just found a comment and I have to say that reviewing fans (re)designs could be an interesting concept

[@deleted_account3]

Yes

[@7artyn277]

Just do it. (trademark)

[@pontuswendt2486]

Totally agree

[@j.d.b.pennamesonofharraant3367]

Huh?

[@moiggc]

Wow, that turned out stunning. A good example of what can happen if you evolve a design rather than replacing it. 👌

[@fgcorp]

Sadly not all manufacturers can do this, dodge is the only one *I remember*.

[@5836609]

This really was too good!

[@Jot8192]

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

[@mdctt9021]

Everything is Volvo. BMW, Dacia, everything is Volvo.

[@euklid2229]

imo the best redesign you've ever done

[@rzn212]

Loved the redesign

[@GHOST-gv7he]

This is one of my favorite redesigns from you

[@carswapnetwork5584]

I agree

[@lazarprichkapov9708]

Nailed it!

[@oxcart4172]

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

[@MycoolzBadSelf]

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

[@xadilx4hm3d]

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

[@panosvrionis8548]

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

[@exoticdriver84]

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

[@tiagobernardo6807]

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

[@sahil5217]

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!

[@wontbackdown813]

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

[@nikifalcon]

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

[@andrecooper6466]

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

[@SWTH71]

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

[@bandwagon240]

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.

[@ainsleyharriott_1849]

What A masterpiece! Beautiful! Great redesign!

[@user-df8it8bs7t]

Looks kinda retrofuturistic) Great work!

[@tortilla7221]

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!!!

[@stiggamoto160]

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

[@ForzaMonkey]

You design on paper? Or digital? If your designs are digital, can you upload videos of you making them on your channel? I, a fellow 14 year old, am interested.

[@stiggamoto160]

@@ForzaMonkey I do them on paper actually and also ill try to upload videos on them I'm a bit busy with studies so I'll try to make time for it if people like u are gonna watch

[@deutschevolksmiliz]

@@stiggamoto160 Finally some Sketchers in my Agegroup. I really wanna see your designs!

[@stiggamoto160]

@@deutschevolksmiliz 😀

[@deutschevolksmiliz]

@@stiggamoto160 Yes I´m very interestet.

[@dariosansano5747]

This redesign was simply brilliant!

[@benzink-anister6438]

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.

[@ForzaMonkey]

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

[@hadlee89]

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 👌🏼

[@Kev27RS]

Brilliant choices!

[@javimad]

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.

[@lazarprichkapov9708]

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

[@phoenixcabsllc3888]

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

[@basithph8958]

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

[@nathanhancock3205]

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

[@danielmartinez3977]

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

[@clifbradley]

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

[@felipepizarro3879]

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.

[@ilyayemets4517]

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

[@stuchly1]

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

[@asmueller8059]

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

[@Meddego]

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!

[@JabokChannel]

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

[@scottgosnell8599]

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

[@basithph8958]

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

[@BakedFrodo96]

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

[@_Matt_Matt_365_]

Awesome redesign!!

[@adrianespinoza1561]

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

[@kennystreetgo]

AMAZING WORK 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@samueljackson6892]

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

[@alanambient4877]

You’re a real artist !!

[@Viking8888]

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.

[@fd4639]

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

[@richardike2342]

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.

[@jrh80]

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

[@bulgen]

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

[@eriktalvitie208]

Man, that’s GREAT!

[@jerrybailey5797]

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

[@3UZFE]

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

[@gitcypherous]

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.

[@malte6216]

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

[@michaelgakanga]

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

[@jaxz4986]

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

[@jonathankcrossoniii5484]

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

[@S.PaulMentzer]

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

[@michaelvestergaard4251]

Man, you make it look so easy :O

[@hakimdridah1711]

Looks so cool

[@e-tronicsystems3064]

Uuhh I love this car and I loved the redesign 😍

[@gankurt9595]

Great work

[@TheStig1012]

That looks awesome! Hope to see the rear view as well!

[@luizskyline]

One of the best design Ever

[@felixwilliamson7558]

sick redesign!!

[@carswapnetwork5584]

Yea

[@jakewhite6027]

Super cool!

[@samueljones4189]

stunning! Please do a rear view redesign of the 840i as well (this concept reminds me a lot like the Polestar 1)

[@MartinKusimo]

Wow, you should be really proud of this one!

[@blackzerovenom3762]

Looks very cool

[@shanmugam.s6340]

Wow, fantastic

[@ChesterTheGm]

Wow, this is how the new BMWs should have look like! Eyegasm!

[@deleted_account3]

Looks great

[@arisetoile]

Looks pretty nice ngl i like it

[@5amH45lam]

You're super-talented, Mr SketchMonkey. 😎👌

[@maxxedredlineproductions]

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

[@Raven-uu7lb]

You mean the 911 Slantnose

[@maxxedredlineproductions]

Yea, that one.

[@MattFFM]

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

[@m1st3rn1ceguy]

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.

[@TimFerber]

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

[@Ibrahimemre9631]

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

[@mountd3w289]

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

[@Techjunkiero]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@WhiteMouse77]

...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....

[@sono81tube]

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

[@nickywalledorff648]

Perfect 👍😎

[@josephgprow]

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

[@jhe7113]

Good design!

[@Kev27RS]

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

[@kooooons]

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.

[@Ostnizdasht206]

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

[@shivek1987]

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

[@gorsash]

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

[@alwarberigai5955]

Final render us stunning

[@AbhilashKrishnamurthy]

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

[@dogsandcars202]

brilliant

[@acasualblenderer]

Love it

[@faizulcobs7721]

Super Impressive

[@MrVader97]

One of your best redesigns! The front looks great, would have been very interesting to see also the rear. The only thing I would have changed are the wheels. It might be a clichè, but some simple Alpina wheels would have been awesome, nowadays the wheels on most cars, even if they nice, they are too overstyled

[@charly428]

Woow, my favourite BMW!!👌

[@l...]

This channel needs chapters feature

[@sideu1330]

i would buy one it looks awesome

[@itzlamaj]

Yeah, this looks good. That’s all that needs to be said.
