In their latest camouflage, both the 8 Series Coupe and Convertible M Sport prototypes are now leaving little to the imagination, showing off their aggressive M Sport bodywork.

The all new 8 Series Coupe and Convertible will debut on June 15 at Le Mans, as just confirmed today.

It looks like BMW is now fitting many of its current prototypes with production headlights and taillights. Just yesterday we showed you the G20 3 Series with production lights and today the 8 Series Coupe has started testing with its new taillights and headlights, which features an open hexagon design.

Verdict is still out whether this is the next gen 6 Series or a return of the 8 Series, but whatever it is it's big and sleek. Prototype coupes and convertibles were just caught undergoing cold climate testing. Updated with video:




Updated 11/3/16 with newest photos.

Here it is, the next generation BMW 6 Series. Or, is it the 8 Series?

There's some conflicting speculation regarding the future (or lack thereof) for the 6 Series Coupe. A recent report claims that the 6 Series coupe will be moved upmarket and renamed the 8 Series Coupe to do battle with Mercedes' S-Class Coupe, while others say that the 6 Series Coupe will live on. BMW insider, Scott26, claims that there will be both a 6 Series and 8 Series coupe.

Whatever badge it eventually wears, it's looking long and sleek, with design overtones from BMW's Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe concept.
