It's been discussed here w/ articles posted, the new CEO is eliminating slow selling models and unfortunately the 8 fits in this category.
Yep. The 8 series coupe and convertible, X2, Z4 and 2-series convertible are all possibly on the chopping block due to the CEO prioritizing profits and EV's over a crowded lineup and low volume sellers. The 8GC however, is rumored to stay in the lineup, however it has not been guaranteed but will likely outlive the coupe and vert, similar to the 6GC.
