The return of the 8 Series will easily carry the Grand Tourer mantle, and BMW has much unfinished business with the 8 Series: a cabriolet and the first-ever M8 (official).
1, 2,3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and the 9 Series which will be the bridge car between BMW and Rolls-Royce.
Bring on the damn 8 Series!!!!!

That's what I thought I had read as well. Basically they want to turn the 6 coupe into a proper GT car and 911 fighter, which makes sense to me. |
Segment definition is what BMW knows they must accomplish.
And each upper segment car that they release will help their long-time vision of having all numbers represented from the 1 Series through the future 9 Series.
The new 6 should be a bad ride especially the M6 with the new 4.0 twin turbo V8!
