8 Series is imho the best car BMW currently makes but they really gave it the short end of the stick with the lack of updates to iDrive and especially the B58, it's basically unchanged since the pre-LCI G30 540i days. Doesn't even have the mild hybrid system that's in almost every internal combustion BMW these days.
New E53 looks fantastic but I don't care for the particular PHEV powertrain setup being used. G80 Magma also looks great and I would give it serious consideration if Genesis does release it as an EREV (like the Ramcharger) as they claim, but I have doubts as to when or if it'll even go into production.

I love the 8 series. I have looked at a few and driven 8GC’s in every trim (840, 850, M8). The only reason I have an LCI F90 ahead of it as a replacement for my 2020 M550 is the 8 is difficult to fit in my garage with my wife’s X7 and the seats in the 8 don’t fit me well.
But it’s a gorgeous car and a blast to drive, even the 840. Feels very controlled and sharp, even though it’s huge. The width is what I think makes it handle so well for such a big car.
