Official Teasers: The new BMW 8 Series Coupe

domino_z · 02-27-2018, 06:59 PM

Is there even a market for another big ugly bmw coupe that is at least 1-2 generations behind audi and merc interior quality from the onset

The 6 series already has this covered, disastrously so going by sales figures

Mfan600hp · 02-27-2018, 07:19 PM

Not good...I start to think about what should I order:
8 serie instead of my future M5.

This car is SO BEAUTIFUL! Chapeau bas

Apparently you're behind the times considerably if you honk the 6 has the big coupe market covered. Mercedes interior quality leaves a lot to be desired and does not age well, IMO. Not a big fan of the Audi layout either with their newer displays and shifter configurations.

Based on the Concept and recent spy shots I feel we will be left a little disappointed. It will look "good" but will also just look like a big BMW just as the 6er coupe did. It's the same route Acura took with the new NSX: good looking, but pays no homage to the original. I was hoping for a modern interpretation of the classic design, such as in this render:

Boy that long hood and those proportions are to die for. Classic "squared off" handsome 8-series design rather than what BMW will actually give us (curvaceous, oversized kidneys, etc.).

Same. Would love to see GC version hopefully sooner than later.

Gonna be bad ass

V12 is definitely heavy. Wouldn’t be surprised if BMW skipped the V12 and went with a hybrid version after the LCI.

keanu1 · 02-27-2018, 11:59 PM

What is the competition for the 8 series?!?

cc3 · 02-28-2018, 12:51 AM

More poor design from BMW. Side profile is bland

M860i is highly likely, same engine as M760iL, V12 coupe in a long time.

Heard rumours that V12 is going to be killed off next year due to WLTP.

Fully agreed. Who the F wants that ?

No there's not. That's why BMW isn't making that.

And yet Scott seemed to suggest that a new and different V12 would live on, at least under the 7's and the X7's bonnet. Maybe a hybrid V12 instead of a hybrid V8 which would be the logical replacement that first comes to mind?

They even learned that over at Porsche.

I wasn't aware there was a 4 door 911

4 doors saved Porsche.

No it isn't. The S-Class coupe is a coupe version of the S-Class which is in the same league with the 7-Series. The 8-Series is not a coupe version of the 7-Series and it's not aimed to be as luxurious as the S-Class coupe.

Yes it is lmao.

Eddien123 · 02-28-2018, 07:46 AM

Ugh how great would an 860 be and an m8 with an M version of the v12. I know it'll never happen but wow what a concept
