BMW 8 Series (2019) 

 A new 8 Series has been reported for quite a few years, but for some strange factor BMW chose not to bring it back previously. And I state “unusual” since the German brand remains in dire need of a luxury coupe above the 6 Series. With Mercedes-Benz already selling a two-door S-Class and Audi working on the A9, the 8 Series is pretty much necessary if BMW wishes to keep up with the competitors. And needless to say, the S-Class was already far ahead of the 7 Series long prior to it gained coupe and convertible variants. Will the upcoming 8 Series have exactly what it takes? Learn in my speculative review listed below.

The upcoming BMW 8 Series has actually been spied when again in both coupe and convertible kinds, ahead of a most likely reveal later this year. Both versions are using a little less camouflage than previous prototypes, displaying more production parts like the bumpers and light units.

2019 BMW 8 Series Exterior

It appears both vehicles are M Sport cars, largely due to the aggressive front and rear bumper treatments in addition to the big alloy wheels housing blue brake calipers and big brake discs.
For the very first time we can see the production front bumper, which likewise features a radar sensor mounted into the lower consumption– likely for the vehicle’s autonomous emergency braking and adaptive cruise control systems.
There’s likewise less camouflage over the double-kidney front grille than formerly, showing a really wide model of BMW’s signature frontal design hint. Between the 2 vehicles, the 8 Series coupe has big intakes and a more aggressive lower front bumper treatment, potentially hinting at a hotter M Performance model with functional intakes and aero elements compared with the convertible’s sporty styling pack.




Comparing the vehicles at the rear shows some small differences between the two models. The coupe gets a more aggressive rear spoiler treatment incorporated into the bootlid, along with a more popular rear diffuser-style insert– nevertheless, the convertible’s bootlid does appear to have a false panel concealing the rest of the tail-lights, so it could be the exact same.

We can also see a quad-tipped exhaust peeping through the trapezoidal finishers of the coupe, indicating this vehicle is likely fitted with a V8 engine. The convertible, meanwhile, gets away with bad lighting hiding what’s behind its tailpipe finishers. Both also feature an L-shaped slit on each side of the rear bumper with integrated reflectors.

2019 BMW 8 Series Interior

Our professional photographers also managed to snap the above picture of the coupe’s interior, too, though you can’t see much aside from the steering wheel obtained from the 5 Series and 7 Series, in addition to the fully-digital instrument cluster ahead of the chauffeur. The rest is covered in grey sheeting, but we have got a look of the new flagship’s exterior and interior undisguised formerly.

2019 BMW 8 Series Release Date

It’s thought the 2019 BMW 8 Series will be formally revealed at some point later this year, total with a range of turbocharged six-, eight- and potentially 12-cylinder engines. Stay tuned for all the most recent updates over the coming months.
