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.

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

If they heard about this it might be the next Z8, which has bunches of rumors flying around

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.

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.
