Next 8series / m8

Any official updates or unofficial updates on when the 8 series platform is brought up to date with current gen idrive and other improvements?

When? Seems this most recent refresh was a joke… outdated on arrival…

There isn't going to be a next 8 series they are killing the whole line in 2025. They actually did extend the M8 a couple years from the first date I seen to kill it end of 23. Its popular enough to keep around full gen but thinking they have some sort of hybrid cooking up for next gen.

The next-gen 8 series starts production in mid-2026.

What he said. There have been a few threads on this topic as well as several articles around the internet like these...

I'll believe it when I see it. If it does see the light of day it will likely be a hybrid combo similar to the new M5 when it hits the 5-series and most likely GC only.

Nope….not the first 48 times. However, the lame/same old opinion for the 49th time caused me to act.

Actually I think they put the new Idrives in but only on the five 8 series they produced between 3pm and 5pm on December 13, 2023.

EDIT: I'm just messing with you. As mentioned, they aren't changing anything. The car hardly looks old......

My week 10 March 4-9 Imola Red build will be the first 2025 and last of the G14 Verts. No changes from 2024.
