[Spy Photos] BMW 8 Series Coupe and Convertible Spotted!

Check out these new spy shots from Autocar that show both the coupe and convertible variants of the 8 Series, side-by-side, and we get to see the differences and similarities between the two. Obviously, the biggest difference between the two is their style of roofs.

Being based on the brand’s new CLAR architecture, the BMW 8 Series will likely carry the same powertrains and technology as the new 7 Series and 5 Series. So expect the B58 3.0 liter turbo I6 in the entry-level 8er, the same 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8 in the M550i and a plug-in hybrid variant later on. There could also possibly be the same twin-turbo V12 from the BMW M760Li.

The BMW 8 Series will surely be a stunner at launch time!
