There are some rumours about BMW building a new 8 series.
Long live the 4 door coupe according to some websites (like autozeitung.de).
But BMW's 8 series never had 4 doors... So what's the plan?
Well, rumours are that there will be models varying from an 835d to the 850 and 860???
What do you guys think?

that's one uuuuuuuuuuuugl y car.  looks like a mix of the new big mercedes cls 500, the bmw 328 mille miglia and a TVR speed 8.  but, those 3 are great looking cars.

Seems more like a concept for the next 7 series.

this one just is a shopped 6 series, but don't hope they're going to build it like that.
But sounds interesting what they're going to do!
But still, if they're really planning on a 4 door coupe, why should they call it an 8 series? maybe there's more

btw, the merc cls is really great Smiley, drove a cls 350 in bordeaux red

that is a bad-ass.

I like all except the kidney grills - that rear end is awesome, side view is sleek, and front is pretty hot - a bit of work to the kidney grills and that is one bad-ass ride.

no door handles...(visible at least) - weird shaped rear view mirror - this is one bad-ass car here...I'm pretty impressed (it's been a while)
