The new M8(car)

The motorway thread made me think, was there ever an M8?
Well, it looks like there's a concept for a new M8, which i think would be much nicer than a 5 Series GT.

As far as i can see, this still only an idea.

GOD, i hope they bring back the 8 series, instead of a 5 series GT.

Opinions?

do you have to keep right in it?

Is the top one not a 6 series?

CianRyan · 26-05-2009 12:47am

It is, i got to that.
Google fooled me and my tired brain.

Yeah you have to keep right.:pac:

As far as I'm aware that project has been shelved indefinitely due to the current economic climate. It was in last months CAR magazine.

It's a beautiful concept. Such a shame they won't build it instead of the hideous 5 GT breadvan abomination.

Edit:Cancelled not shelved:( Pity

Aaagh, that makes me sick.
The 8 series would have sold much better than that awefull 5 GT.

Beautiful concept.
