It's very interesting in the metal. I was invited to the unveiling by BMW at Lago di Como in May.

The Airbreather was the one thing that really caught my attention, functional and the car only has two lines that force air down the side.

As whole the design is a refreshing clean-sheet design and an excellent starting point for the return of the 8 Series.

The 8 Series Coupe and Cabriolet really only has one direct competitor within the segment, it's the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet.

Toyota "Lexus" LC500 is an indirect competitor to BMW and Mercedes-Benz within this segment.
Did the displays work or are they dummies?

I like the idea of the individually temperature-controlled air vents.
