I haven't really been following this...but is this a 7-series based S-Class Coupe/LC500 fighter?
There's already a GranCoupe conceptWouldn't be surprised if they released a 4-door version in the future, just to add more to the repetitive and confusing lineup.
BMW M8 Gran Coupe concept

Anyone expecting a V12 set themselves up for disappointment from the get-go; the only other BMW to get a V12 since the 8 Series has been the top of the line 7-Series & that's been shared with Rolls-Royce meaning it's likely built a specific way for those luxury cars. Adding a V12 would more than likely push this car out of its intended market & performance as well.I'm afraid to say this new 8 series is nothing in the looks department of the previous generation. Also no BMW V12 does not even make this qualify as a 8 series to me. To me the phrase" Old is best" comes to mind. The older model was quite innovative in its design & uniqueness. This one is pretty much a copy & paste of another model in the range with slightly different bodywork passed of as an 8 series.
... Oh man, I'm definitely old now...

Not like the old 8 Series didn't offer a V8 as well to begin with....
