The first photos showing an undisguised version of BMW's
modern 8-Series coupe have hit the web.
The photos were posted to the Bimmerpost forum and reveal what appears to
be an 850i model equipped with an M Performance body kit. The photos show the
car from the front and the rear and inside as well.
Overall, it looks like BMW is going with a very modern and
edgy design for the new 8-Series, including a much more aggressive take on the
signature kidney grille. The thick chrome-plated bars of the grille does remind
one of the character Jaws from the James Bond movies. It's a look that was
first seen on the 8-Series concept unveiled
last spring.
BMW is still out testing prototypes for the 8-Series coupe. The automaker
is also out testing an 8-Series Convertible,
and it’s possible we’ll see a fastback sedan at some point. The latter, if
built, would likely be referred to as an 8-Series Gran Coupe.
The 8-Series replaces BMW’s 6-Series coupe which no longer
forms part of the 6-Series lineup.
BMW has confirmed the reveal will take place in 2018. A debut at the Geneva
auto show this March is a strong possibility. We’ll likely see it on sale in
2019, as a 2020 model.
All BMW is willing to say about the car is that it will
provide a blend of sporty dynamics and luxury. CEO Harald Krüger described it
as a “true luxury sports coupe” and a “slice of pure automotive fascination.”
