Early last year, BMW announced that it would launch the new 8-Series as part of a new strategy targetting more sales with high-end luxury cars by refreshing the entire product range and strengthening the technical side of things.
The timeline indicated that a i8 Roaster while Mini’s first all-electric model will arrive the following year before an electric 3 and iNext production model scheduled for the next two years respectively.

The global premiere of the design study will ultimately lead to the showroom-spec version about to come out sometime in 2018. The BMW 8 Series Coupe will build on the Bavarian brand’s tradition of luxurious sports coupes and add a genuine “dream car” to our line-up with “pure automotive fascination” according to BMW’s Harald Kruger.

Said to be a true luxury sports coupe, it is hoped to underpin BMW’s claim of the leadership in the luxury segment. The new BMW 8-Series will sit on the same modular CLAR platform that spawns models like the 7 and 5-Series. It is likely to be positioned under the Rolls Royce Wraith in the Group’s model range and will be more premium than the outgoing 6-Series Coupe.
It will also give way to a convertible 8-Series in 2019 while a range-topping V12 also seems to be in the pipeline. We have not known yet if a M8 will be produced but let us hope that BMW will eventually do it.
