BMW is up to something and, from the sounds of it, it's going to be good.
Recently spied doing some developmental testing around the world famous Nürburgring was a big body, two-door coupe from the Bavarians. But, what is it exactly?
I honestly believe if anyone says they have it pinned down they're full of sh!t. Given the product lifecycle of the current-gen BMW 6-Series, this could easily be its replacement.
Also being reported are rumors of a return of the legendary flagship, the 8-Series from the early 1990s. This is due to the company's move to trademark a bunch of badges last year.
That said, what do you make of this, Spies? The car caught on camera is clearly an eight-cylinder powerplant at play, there's no doubt about that. It clearly is a standard car given its facade, hind quarters and normal exhaust. But is it a 6 or an 8?
What say you?
