What about the non-M, 8 Series coupes and convertibles?

The M5 is selling like hot cakes where I live, my street (a dead end street) has 3 new m5's in the past 8 months (not including many others I see driving around). No e63s or RS6/7 seen anywhere yet.

Entirely logical. Nobody buys these coupes to carry more than 2. For M8 money you get a great 992. 3 years in, it's still worth more than half what you paid.

Not surprised here. The $100k - $200k coupe market is shrinking quite rapidly and I suspect the only contenders left standing will be either unabashedly sporty (e.g. AMG GT or 911s) or luxurious (e.g. S-class coupe).
The 8 Series and the M8 are trying to straddle that line and it doesn't work out well. |

This was revealed months ago. Since late last year.

Guess nobody is buying them. It's funny I was just looking at them for sale online yesterday, and there are TONS of them on the market.

It means the writing is all over the wall
And now BMW is cutting the fat all the way to the bone Furthermore BMW's gamble of making tons of money by changing the 6er into the 8er clearly was a complete failure

Does this leave the door open for a return for the 2022 MY?
I've only seen one M8, even in LA. I see the 850s more often. Unfortunately for BMW, any performance-oriented consumer in this price range will prefer the 911 or something with more brand prestige like an Aston Martin. Additionally, BMW's poor residuals and reliability record make the M8 unattractive proposition overall.

Yep S-Class coupe is getting the axe, shame because it is one of the most beautiful 2-doors on the market right now. SL will survive and is rumored to be sharing a chassis/platform with the AMG GT for the next generation, I imagine that will likely take the S-Coupe's spot in the lineup as the luxury 2-door flagship.

Not affected, as attached is the bulletin from May. BMW market delayed the introduction the 840 xDrive to get the 1st movers to purchase the M850, and recently the 840 non-xdrive model is available. BMW is moving down market regarding pricing. Why the M fat at the top is getting cut.

Aston Martin, which also tries to straddle the sport and luxury sides with their product, is also not doing well. |

I still lust after a Vantage V12 though, gorgeous sheetmetal and that engine is simply marvelous despite shockingly being two Ford V6's stitched together! |
