New BMW 8??????

I'm a 99.99999 percent sure that there is no new 8 series of BMW's, two of my friends told me that they saw a brand new 8 series BMW a couple of days ago. and i told them there is no way and that i had never heard about it coming back.

Would be sweet, I like the old BMW 8 series, yeah it had problems, but damn it was a nice car. Wish they used it more in Italian Job (Handsome Rob's car)

That bears a strong resemblance to the Mercedes-Benz SL coupe.

The 8 was an awesome looking car.

And your friend is nuts if he thinks he saw a new version of it. There is the Z8 and the 6, but no new 8-series, yet.

Why would they need to bring back the 8? i cant imagine the car that would be made to be "a step up" from the current 6 series.

I think your friend got "new" and "really old" mixed up.

1997 was the last year.

1991 to 1997

The CSi model (5.6L V12 380hp) was available in 94 to 96.

I think E31 lived 2 years longer in Europe.

But 97 was definitely the last model year in North America.

Post BMW unveils CS Concept...

From Leftlanenews...

BMW has taken the wraps off the CS Concept — a new "four-door-coupe" designed to tackle the Mercedes CLS, Porsche Panamera, and Maserati Quattroporte. The car is likely a preview of the recently rumored 8-Series revival, or alternatively a four-door 6-Series. Either way, it points to BMW's future design direction for the company as a whole.
