Revive the 8 series?

So i had a random thought today. What do you think a modern day 8 series would look like? Do you guys think they should revive that model?

I think they are sweet looking cars personally. I could see a new one being a beast!

I can imagine how "big" a modern day 8 series would be. Tractor trailer.

It can be a bit of a yacht! I think BMW could do so many cool things with this car. A luxury 7 interior and the N/A v10 from previous model m5/6's. A guy can dream

I drooled over the 850 as teen, it was meant to be BMW top luxury performance car, it was more luxury than performance

It never sold well, the price tag, the weight..guys caught on that a 3 or 5er tuned could be significantly faster, sounds familiar

My uncles got the v12 8 series but personally I'm not a big fan of it. Not to mention the fact that the electrical system is shot lol
