Rumor of a new BMW 8 Series

It depends what it looks like! If Bangle has his way, we might not want to be associated with it!!!

Re:

I would love to see a new 8 series coming out

Possibly, have to see how it goes.

We could leave it as it is and just have a seperate forum area?

I think the same as al - but I cannot imagine a good/better serie, because our 8 are simply 'perfect' (but: they become older and older - as ourselves ...).

Shame it was only a prototype as BMW do not have any "SUPERCARS" at the moment.

Isn't the 8 the successor of the 6? Now they have the new 6 which many say is the successor of the 8? I'm so confused. I don't think the 8 was derived from the 6 at all.

The 6 ended in 1989 and restarted in 2004 - no succession

Hi John;

The 6 Series was geared to a different market than the 8 Series. In 1989, the 6 Series ended production. The 8 Series was designed for a different market - the GT (Grand Touring) market. BMW made the mistake of not continuing the 6 Series in a new format.

The new 6 Series returns to the original market focus from the last 6 Series.

This is the most erred fact that everyone seems to make. The 8 Series was entirely a new class of coupe and market. Therefore, the 8 and 6 are not successors of one another.

hey cool a new 8 might come out but i hope bangle dusnt make this new one too bad. and i hope its faster too. the original 8 is the best but if bmw decides to revive it, i hope its lighter and faster than the old 8. if it is than i better start saving up my muny. i wanna buy one. oh and i hope they finally come through and make an M version of the 8. that is wat i want most. even though im only 15, i have loved the 8 since i was born. well happy motoring to all.

LONG LIVE THE 8!!!!!
