The 8-series is having a hard time for many reasons, but mainly no one wants coupes, convertibles or sedans anymore, and at the $100k price point priorities and values change significantly and the 8 starts to shine less. The days of the convertible in general seem to be numbered honestly.

I found this article pretty interesting as they asked dealers why they are having a hard time selling and what prospective customers think when they look at the 8er.
