    Rumorpile: BMW 8-Series is Reportedly Go for 2018

      The 8-Series is reportedly coming

    Rumors of BMW bringing back the 8-Series have been floating around since February when sources revealed there were two proposals on the table; a larger version of the 6-Series Gran Coupe and a new two-door coupe/convertible. This would only intensify over the summer when a report revealed that BMW had trademarked a number of 8-Series names. Now a new report says BMW is going forward with the 8-Series as a coupe.

    Automobilwoche has learned from sources that BMW will be bringing back the 8-Series in late 2018. The model will fill the gap between the 7-Series and the Rolls-Royce Ghost/Wraith/Dawn, and give the Mercedes S-Class coupe a run for its money. The coupe will come first, followed by a convertible and the option of a V12 engine. A M8 version is under discussion.

    Automobilwoche also reports that the 6-Series coupe and convertible will not be replaced, although the fate of the 6-Series Gran Coupe is up in the air.

    I like the 90s BMW 8-series, they still look good today.  But rather than make it look like a 8-series, BMW will probably make it look like a big 435i.  I am interested to see it, but they should probably save their money because they won't beat the S-class.

    This makes sense with their current vehicle line-up;

    1/2 series

    3/4 series

    5/6 series

    7/8 series

    I hope the 6 series "grand sport coupe" 4-door is cancelled.  It just never made any sense to have it.

      Been enjoying the fall weather, knowing winter is coming...out rolling in the Caddy last night and today--listening to a couple of my favorite '80s albums--Def Leppard's 'Hysteria' and Van Halen's '5150'...  then this afternoon took the Mustang out, listening to U2's 'The Joshua Tree'.   Has it really been that long since I was 17?   (yes).   Back home and I put on some Rush--'Subdivisions' speaks to my computer geek teenage side, 'Time Stand Still' really speaks to me at 55, as does Pink Floyd's 'Time'.  Going to put on Pink Floyd's 'The Division Bell', which was an essential part of my soundtrack through the mid 90s.  Got to get some Depeche Mode and Pearl Jam in there (I love, love 'Sirens').  I've also been enjoying some Great Lakes Brewing Company Ocktoberfest beer..going to start a bonfire in my firepit tonight and listen to more 80s-90s music probably...

      I really like having a free mile-long beach less than 20 miles from home.  Went up there yesterday evening to watch the sunset and listen to the waves.   This was something I really missed when I lived in the concrete desert.  I keep folding chairs, towels, flip flops in the cars in case the need to beach happens any time..;)

      Very nice.  Count your blessings that you have a free of charge or low cost happy place. It's tough to come to the conclusion that the pinnacle of happy places for me might be being aboard an ocean liner.  LOL.  It makes for a "kaching" problem.
