The resurrected BMW 8 Series family will give us three models over the course of the next decade. The first one – 8 Series Coupe – was already unveiled in Concept form, and will be followed next summer by the production model – codename G15 – and late in the year by the G14 8 Series Convertible. The third and final model will be the Gran Coupe variant – codename G16 – which is scheduled to arrive in third quarter of 2019.

Test mules are yet to be seen on public roads, but early renderings showcase the four-door coupe 8 Series as a sleek tourer with a long bonnet and short overhangs which will take on the likes of Aston Martin Rapide. The exterior design of the Concept 8 series is credited to John Buckingham, a Brit now working out of BMW’s DesignWorks studio in California, a design which will serve as the basis for the Gran Coupe.
