BMW 8-Series set for two thousand eighteen debut

Share

BMW is rolling out the fresh 8-Series coupe in two thousand eighteen and a two-door convertible a year later. The luxury duo substitutes the 6-Series Coupe and Convertible, not exactly runaway successes for Munich since their two thousand thirteen launch. The 8-Series range has already been distantly previewed in concept form by the two thousand thirteen BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe concept, seen in the movie above. The Gran Lusso envisioned an ultra-luxury model placed above the 7-Series.

The 8-Series is expected to borrow strenuously from the 7-Series parts bin suggesting V8 and V12 power, according to Reuters and Automotive News Europe and should be priced just north of the 7-Series range.

Tho’ BMW has not explicitly ruled out other variants, for now, it looks like just the two-door hardtop and convertible are coming. A four-door isn’t in the cards; it would basically be a 7-Series sedan itself. An M8 spectacle model has been reported as part of the discussions.

2017 Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet: No one else on your block is going to have one

If the Mercedes-Benz S550 Cabriolet isn`t enough car for you, well, there`s always the V8- and V12-powered AMG versions. And if those don`t fairly cut it, you now have an even more .

The debut of the 8-Series range is expected to leave the 6-Series Gran Coupe alone in the range, but the 5-Series GT is expected to take on 6-Series badging to keep it company as the 6-Series GT.

The price of entry for the 8-Series is believed to embark at 150,000 euros, Reuters and Automotive News Europe have learned. This leaves some space inbetween the 8-Series and the Rolls-Royce Wraith in the greater BMW empire, while opening up BMW upward. A rumored high-end four-door sedan looks dead. It was going to be placed above the 7-Series, to challenge the Mercedes-Maybach S600 sedan and S650 cabriolet.

BMW unveils four Series Convertible at LA Auto Demonstrate

BMW whipped the sheets off of the 4-series droptop, the X4 coupey-ute dealie and demonstrated the production i8 for the very first time in North America at the LA Auto Demonstrate yesterday.The 4-series Convertible .

Word is the 8-Series is coming because BMW concluded that the 6-Series coupe and convertible represented a redundancy of sorts: The 3-Series/4-Series coupe and cabrio outsold it handily while suggesting a sportier practice and a lighter curb weight. The 6-Series coupe and convertible were also plagued by polarizing exterior designs. They were softened somewhat for the 2nd generation but largely failed to elicit much emotion from BMW fans. Lastly, today’s 6-Series were powerful, tech-laden machines residing in the Porsche nine hundred eleven price range. While the 6-Series did not challenge the Porsche directly, the overlap in the price, along with the presence of the 3-Series, didn’t help capture a desirable market share. The comeback of the S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet along with their Maybach variant — much larger machines — also helped cement the case for the 8-Series comeback.

The debut of the 8-Series range is expected to leave the 6-Series Gran Coupe alone in the range, but the 5-Series GT is expected to take on 6-Series badging to keep it company as the 6-Series GT.

The price of entry for the 8-Series is believed to embark at 150,000 euros, Reuters and Automotive News Europe have learned. This leaves some space inbetween the 8-Series and the Rolls-Royce Wraith in the greater BMW empire, while opening up BMW upward. A rumored high-end four-door sedan looks dead. It was going to be placed above the 7-Series, to challenge the Mercedes-Maybach S600 sedan and S650 cabriolet.

BMW unveils four Series Convertible at LA Auto Showcase

BMW whipped the sheets off of the 4-series droptop, the X4 coupey-ute dealie and showcased the production i8 for the very first time in North America at the LA Auto Display yesterday.The 4-series Convertible .

Word is the 8-Series is coming because BMW concluded that the 6-Series coupe and convertible represented a redundancy of sorts: The 3-Series/4-Series coupe and cabrio outsold it handily while suggesting a sportier practice and a lighter curb weight. The 6-Series coupe and convertible were also plagued by polarizing exterior designs. They were softened somewhat for the 2nd generation but largely failed to elicit much emotion from BMW fans. Lastly, today’s 6-Series were intense, tech-laden machines residing in the Porsche nine hundred eleven price range. While the 6-Series did not challenge the Porsche directly, the overlap in the price, along with the presence of the 3-Series, didn’t help capture a desirable market share. The comeback of the S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet along with their Maybach variant — much larger machines — also helped cement the case for the 8-Series comeback.

BMW is rolling out the fresh 8-Series coupe in two thousand eighteen and a two-door convertible a year later. The luxury duo substitutes the 6-Series Coupe and Convertible, not exactly runaway successes for Munich since their two thousand thirteen launch. The 8-Series range has already been distantly previewed in concept form by the two thousand thirteen BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe concept, seen in the movie above. The Gran Lusso envisioned an ultra-luxury model placed above the 7-Series.

The 8-Series is expected to borrow strongly from the 7-Series parts bin suggesting V8 and V12 power, according to Reuters and Automotive News Europe and should be priced just north of the 7-Series range.

However BMW has not explicitly ruled out other variants, for now, it looks like just the two-door hardtop and convertible are coming. A four-door isn’t in the cards; it would basically be a 7-Series sedan itself. An M8 spectacle model has been reported as part of the discussions.

BMW is rolling out the fresh 8-Series coupe in two thousand eighteen and a two-door convertible a year later. The luxury duo substitutes the 6-Series Coupe and Convertible, not exactly runaway successes for Munich since their two thousand thirteen launch. The 8-Series range has already been distantly previewed in concept form by the two thousand thirteen BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe concept, seen in the movie above. The Gran Lusso envisioned an ultra-luxury model placed above the 7-Series.

The 8-Series is expected to borrow powerfully from the 7-Series parts bin suggesting V8 and V12 power, according to Reuters and Automotive News Europe and should be priced just north of the 7-Series range.

However BMW has not explicitly ruled out other variants, for now, it looks like just the two-door hardtop and convertible are coming. A four-door isn’t in the cards; it would basically be a 7-Series sedan itself. An M8 spectacle model has been reported as part of the discussions.

2017 Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet: No one else on your block is going to have one

If the Mercedes-Benz S550 Cabriolet isn`t enough car for you, well, there`s always the V8- and V12-powered AMG versions. And if those don`t fairly cut it, you now have an even more .

The debut of the 8-Series range is expected to leave the 6-Series Gran Coupe alone in the range, but the 5-Series GT is expected to take on 6-Series badging to keep it company as the 6-Series GT.

The price of entry for the 8-Series is believed to embark at 150,000 euros, Reuters and Automotive News Europe have learned. This leaves some space inbetween the 8-Series and the Rolls-Royce Wraith in the greater BMW empire, while spreading BMW upward. A rumored high-end four-door sedan looks dead. It was going to be placed above the 7-Series, to challenge the Mercedes-Maybach S600 sedan and S650 cabriolet.

BMW unveils four Series Convertible at LA Auto Display

BMW whipped the sheets off of the 4-series droptop, the X4 coupey-ute dealie and demonstrated the production i8 for the very first time in North America at the LA Auto Showcase yesterday.The 4-series Convertible .

Word is the 8-Series is coming because BMW concluded that the 6-Series coupe and convertible represented a redundancy of sorts: The 3-Series/4-Series coupe and cabrio outsold it handily while suggesting a sportier practice and a lighter curb weight. The 6-Series coupe and convertible were also plagued by polarizing exterior designs. They were softened somewhat for the 2nd generation but largely failed to elicit much emotion from BMW fans. Lastly, today’s 6-Series were strenuous, tech-laden machines residing in the Porsche nine hundred eleven price range. While the 6-Series did not challenge the Porsche directly, the overlap in the price, along with the presence of the 3-Series, didn’t help capture a desirable market share. The comeback of the S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet along with their Maybach variant — much larger machines — also helped cement the case for the 8-Series come back.
