So the 8 is coming back

>>15631657
Holy shit it has pop ups.

>>15631657
PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS IT. PLEASE TELL ME IT HAS POP UP HEADLIGHTS

Why does it look so sleepy

>some guy's Facebook link on it
Totally legit.

>>15631657
Looks like utter ass.

When will BMW start making good looking cars again? It's been like 15 years.

>>15631657
This looks amazing, if they made a manual V12 like the last 8 series it would be a beast

>>15631860
modern. manual.

kekitty kek

Looks like a melted 6 series. I suppose this will replace the 6 like last time?

>pop ups

That is concept art. As of now there are no images from BMW regarding the 8 series. They only said it's gonna come in 2020, and probably be available with V8, straight six, or hybrid.

They didn't say anything about pop ups.
I REALLY FUCKING HOPE THEY PUT POP UPS.

Fuck I am so glad /o/ is on board with pop-ups at least. What is so great about them I can't put my finger on it

>>15632026
i8 is fuckin sweeet

>>15631657

Looks like ass. But i welcome a potential pop-up revival.

>>15632048
Popups are this wonderful form over function where it makes it really obvious when you have your lights going. Moving parts in general are just aesthetic as fuck.

>>15632048

It transforms the look of the car (for good or bad). It turns a usually mundane action into an event. Its another thing you can control and thats satisfying.

EU auto regs will never allow popups.

>Hammond bought one and it broke.
>Clarkson bought an S class coupe that works, but terrible expensive parts.

>only 3k lbs + demon v12 running costs
fuck id buy it they cost like 50k in sheep land

>>15632168
You'd go broke fixing it constantly.

A few years ago the Greek gentleman who owns the local chip shop bought one, he didn't look after it at all, didn't even wash it. After a few months it wouldn't start parked in front of the chip shop and he just left it there because he is a cheap cunt. It was fucking tragic seeing it get covered shit over the years until he sold the business and it was towed away.

People this is just a fan/magazine rendering and BMW hasn't even released an official teaser or such.

>>15632183
let us dream

>>15632105
buy one with a v8

It shares the engine with the 5 and 7 series so you could find parts on ebay or some scrapper.

>>15632254
it only has leds for the tail lights though

>>15632105
Absolutely beautiful. It's a shame they can't design cars like this anymore.

>>15632141
Did you seriously just state a storyboard for a family entertainment show as real life example?

TopGear is based on facts.

>pop-ups
BMW should hire this guy and put him to work. He could be the hero who ends the scourge of "modern car design".

>>15631657
>pop ups

haha that will never happen. watch, just like the new Lincoln's gullwings, the pop ups will be removed for production

>>15632291
Not only that he got it wrong the 850 didn't brake the Merc did.

>>15632301
It was when it had motoring journalists in it not fat failed American actors with less personality and facial expression than a cardboard box.

>>15631657
I don't know who Giom but he doesn't understand modern pedestrian safety regulations, unless BMW are planning a very wide V (160 degree plus) you won't get it under that bonnet line with the required clearance, then there are the popups that's something that just isn't going to happen.

>>15632254
>Hurr Duur I don't like the optional highlights,
Then don't spec them. Simple.

>>15631657
>some huehue's shitty idea of what a new 8-series should look like is now confirmation

>tfw drove my uncles V12
>tfw could buy it but my entire family hate me these days

sigh.

>>15632048
Can BMW set a New trend and bring back the pop ups?

>>15635578
Pop ups will never come back because they probably violate a few dozen safety requirement.

They will remain a cool feature on some concepts, nothing else

>>15635578
they can't
many companies would try to bring them back without hesistation if they could because it's desirable as fuck, but with the current safety regulations it's simply not possible, not to mention it hardly works with the modern design

>I got hit by a 4500 pund car going 70 mph, but I'm gonna be okay because it doesn't have pop-ups

Please can we have them back?

This concept is over 10 years old

>>15635589
>>15635590
why exactly are they unsafe? Is it in case they hit a pedestrian?

also this >>15635617

>>15636704
It's exaclty because of that
