Just when you thought ‘BMW’ and ‘looks hideous’ had stopped trending together on Twitter, along comes tuner Zacoe with a transformation of the M8 Gran Coupe that'll, let's say 'challenge' accepted wisdom.

Along with the M5 Competition, the M8 Gran Coupe was potentially the last properly good-looking M car, so that massive new carbon fibre rear wing (along with the side sill extensions, the new diffuser and that front splitter) certainly provokes. 

We’re not sure about those fussy five-spoke wheels either.

Thankfully Zacoe will also offer a much more palatable ducktail spoiler, though. Oh, and it leaves the drivetrain well alone, meaning you get the standard 616bhp from the twin-turbo V8 in Competition form.
