They better get it right because Mercedes hit a grand slam with the S-class coupe and convertible. If the 8-series is going to be a re-hashed G11 then we will have a problem on our hands.

There so many alternate realities at BMW...

These days it seems that the storyline changes by the month. Last year at the G11 launch the more focused 6 was in the works and a top of the line 8 or 9 series was being considered.

Now; who knows!?!

The gaps at the top end of the BMW line will be filled with the X7,8er and the 9er and the iNext Next Generation mobility concept.

I truly hope that lineup allows for dropping 200-400lbs in weight across the board. With the investments in the CF space that the Quandt family has made, I wonder if they are primarily in it for supplying others to satisfy shareholders or to innovate/reduce weight at BMW.

There's another huge gap above all of those.

I have high hopes that the next gen of i8 or i8 derivatives fills that...
