BMW is considering a new 4-door car with a coupe-like roofline, which will allow it to compete in the battlefield of 4-door coupes comprising of the Mercedes Benz CLS, future Audi A7, future Aston Martin Rapide, and future Porsche Panamera.
There are conflicting reports on what the name of the new 4-door coupe would be. Some say it will be known as the 8-Series, with model variants most likely being the 835i, 850i, and the M8. Others say it will be launched as a 6-series when it is time for the BMW 6-Series to receive an all-new model replacement, which will mean the future 6-series will be available in both 2-door and 4-door form.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
For me, side view look alike a banana..
Is really 4-door coupes is a new big market in the future? since more and more care joint the battlefield of 4-door coupes..
The future market segment are cars that are light, fuel saving, big, comfortable, mercedes benz quality interior and comfortness, good looking, maintenance free, AND CHEAP.
-> Toyota Camry.
others are all rubbish.
what toyota camry ?
thats a car for old man.
its not a driver car.
that beemer is what i call a driver's car.
camry is big & light…good except its FWD, not RWD
looks nice…
should get more photos of it.
quite sporty…hmm…
This is the combination of CLS and Aston Martin……
Not so nice from the pic….
looks better than porsche's ugly panamera..
omg!! bmw, this is not the way to go!!
is this another chris bangler's work??
Only in wishlist.Again.
Looks like shit. Again BMW, again.
Some of you make comments about preferring RWD, like it makes a difference to you.
damn nice…i like it!!!!….btw, i have a question to ask for a long time…what is the diff between horse power and brake power???..anyone please let me know..
AmiR:
Horsepower is a measurement of an engine's total output whereas brake horse power is measured at the maximum operating RPM of the engine.
I hate these new bmw stylings, its just too over dooing.. why not stick to those classic E30, 46, 39 lines???
Rear looks like some jaguar…
That's an insult to Jaguar.
1 series, 3 series, 5 series, 6 series, and 7, series, now is 8 series…
man, saw one 650i couple…it is nice…
ya the jaguar XK if im not mistaken…like it or not….its gonna sell….
Wow, looks agressive, a very bold and fresh one from BMW. Hope it can shine beside the very very elegant Aston Martin. Panamera, CLS, bah! Souless designs, just reuse old shapes.
Since we're on 4 door super sports coupes I wish Lamborghini would revive the Espada (for me the most desirable 4-seater sports car of its time), but with additional 2 doors. This would probably blow away the competition.
BTW saw an Espada parked in front of house facing sea in the east coast some years back. Anyone know 'bout this?
Espada???
I only know about Miura, Countach, Diablo, Gallardo and Murcielago….
