They almost got it, messed up the nose. They really need to bring back that original design team

Not digging it. Hope this is not the real final design.

That's the thing about original E31 design, it cannot be replicated due to safety regulations. This makes the e31 even more unique..irreplaceable.
The new 8 if this is it looks good compared with other modern high end cars.

I'm a big fan of big coupes. I don't dislike this rendition right off the bat...I think it looks more bad @ss than the previous two 6 series generations...but i'm still digesting the fact it would be badged as an 8 (as if we had a say). Waiting for many more pix to make up my mind.

This kind of reminds me of a Maserati granturismo...a la german. Stouter, edgier. The front does remind me of the standard 8 series bumpers....the regular 8 front end is pointy until you add a CSi front. Maybe the M8 will have a different frontfasciaa?

Anyone else get that nagging feeling that on may 26th were going to see a very very odd car labeled as an 8 Series. Concepts usually only lend some design to the car, I'm expecting a very boxy so to say look on the new 8 series and i really hope I'm wrong. Aside from that concept looks good.

Dragon, what safety regs are you talking about body-design wise?

[taylorpatterson]

Well let's see what they produce. Either way, if the new car is a winner or a loser, our E31 Eights still win because of the worldwide notority and increased awareness it will bring to our community. Personally I'm hoping it's a winner.

Make the kidney grilles concave, and you'll have what looks very much like a Maserati GranCoupe...

Nice car, crap nose.

pedestrian safety regulations dont really permit a very low nose anymore

I love that design - esp the rear end - I wish the nose was lower/sleeker but - regulations would prevent that I reckon

low nose: all modern supercars have low noses.....do they have different regulations (even the bmw i8 is lower)!? (don't llike the nose on this concept car.....looks like an SUV)

[M6csi]

Looks aggressively good from this angle, but the front grilles and the front hood hump need to be reworked for this 8 to be a great looking super coupe.

Did you guys really think a 2018 model was going to look like a car designed in 1986? -__-

[TedBobo]

Not digging it. Hope this is not the real final design.

Not feeling it either. Is that grill from a Buick Roadmaster?

[taylorpatterson]

I will wait to see it first hand in person before rendering an opinion but in general, it looks pretty amazing in this video:

Those side mirrors will never make it past the DOT. Where are the engine pictures BMW!!!???

[M6csi]

oops! Please delete.

geesus, 8 series badge aside...that is one good looking coupe. "The gentlemans racer"? That's stomping into Aston Martin territory....me digs!

Wow, can't believe all the people who dislike it! This car looks awesome to me, totally feeling it.

Nope, but you gotta admit the nose is pretty fugly compared to the e31 version

I'm with you there, Olin. Love the e31 body style, but 20 years from, the next generation will say they love this new modern 8 series like how We LOVE our e31. Time waits for no one.

100% agree with you. The hostility is even worse on facebook group's E31 world owner's association. Over there is war. Lol.
All good though. I'm getting one for sure. Red on white to match my E31.
