Rendered Speculation: BMW 8 Series

ZuerstBMW · 12-07-2007, 03:10 AM

The front is nice but the rear is YIKES

"The All New BMW 8 series styling will be based on the CS concept with the platform to come from the 7 series or even possibly the 6 series.

The original 8 series was produced between 1989 and 1999 and was powered by a V8 and a V12 engine. We expect this trend to continue with the new model set to use the 438hp 6.0-liter V-12 engine from the 760i and 4.8-liter V8 from the 750i."

Looks like the rear is based on Nissan Altima

AH · 12-07-2007, 03:18 AM

It was posted before as the new coupe... but will it be the 8 series?

Yeah, The front looks like a sedan and the rear like a coupe.

looks good, classy.

satinghostrider · 12-07-2007, 03:55 AM

the kidney grills looks like Michael Jackson's nose.

Panoz · 12-07-2007, 06:24 AM

Awful...I hope the real thing won't look like this at all.

Isaiah5411 · 12-07-2007, 07:29 AM

Hmmm...a rolling shot with no one in the car. Hey: Auto-driver. Cool! (Looks like hands on the wheel but they PSd out the head.)

Actually, I think it looks pretty good. Gotta see more of the rear, tho.

lyjw88 · 12-07-2007, 07:40 AM

Rear = altima coupe

kenntona · 12-07-2007, 08:10 AM

Hope that's not the new 8 Series because that thing is terrible...I liked the E31's the way they were...besides...There was no such thing as an 8 series sedan.

Slke46 · 12-07-2007, 09:07 AM

Who knows whats in the works with BMW... they brough back the 1 series??? They should keep the traditional look of bmw... and not adopt a merc look.

BMdblU · 12-07-2007, 09:29 AM

A fugly CLS wannabe

tjnptel1 · 12-07-2007, 09:29 AM

Nissan called, they want their Altima back.

ALPINE6SPD · 12-07-2007, 09:59 AM

Dont worry it will look nothing lke that when it comes out and most of us cant afford it anyways. You can actully see they used a benz CLS as a base for the photoshop. Look behind the front wheel and its clearly a CLS from that angle.

NaViT · 12-07-2007, 05:45 PM

hmmm nahh i pass

bartman32 · 12-07-2007, 06:15 PM

Dude everyone shows the same picture! It's a CSL, It's the new 7, it's the new 5, it's the new 8 no one knows what it is but its all the same car! Exact same pic!

nusevad · 12-07-2007, 09:19 PM

meh, i dont think im ready for that car yet..

Robert · 12-07-2007, 11:58 PM

e92 front with CLS...

Year's_End · 12-08-2007, 01:01 AM

Come on guys...you're really droppin the ball here.

It's not a CLS base...it's just a lightly, lightly photoshopped e92. It even has the same wheels!

I pointed out the minor diffs. Guys, seriously, stop trusting these lame PS attempts. Wait for the real deal.
