SPIED + VIDEO: What Is THIS?! Is This The FIRST Video Of The Next-Gen BMW 6-Series Or Is It The RETURN Of The 8-Series?

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?

I would guess 6 by the size and looks... evolutionary where I think if they do an 8 it will be more revolutionary.

They might as well just take off the camo - the 6 is such a slow seller I'm not sure what they are trying to hide!

I think the 6-series coupe might have the smallest interior in the current BMW lineup (aside from the i8) - it might be the most poorly packaged car that is currently on sale.

The real problem for the 6 Series is that the 4 Series is a better option. There really isn't anything special enough to justify the price of the 6.
