    Nice Article About the 8 Series - Both New and Old

    I don't know if this has already been posted, if so, lose this post, but the August 2017 issue of Car and Driver magazine (print version) had an article about the new 8 and mentioning the original 8 and it's history. It's in the Upfront section "Reveal of the Month". Spoiler Alert: They confirmed an M8 as well as an Alpina B8.

    Probably not on your newstands now. I'm not sure if it's in the on-line version.

    And yeah, all of my car magazines are on paper (old school).

    Thanks for the head's up.... I just happened to have the August and September issues sitting here and hadn't looked at them until I saw your post... Just a handful of words on the original 8 series history though... Not surprisingly.
