BMW ended production of the second-generation 8 Series in April 2026, and there’s still no obvious replacement on the horizon. So if you’ve been waiting for a Neue Klasse version of BMW’s big halo coupe, you might be waiting a while.
Speaking with Automotive News, a BMW executive recently said moving the big coupe into the Neue Klasse family is "not feasible." That effectively leaves BMW without a flagship grand tourer for the time being. BMW reportedly considered giving that job to the relaunched Alpina brand, too, but that plan was apparently shelved.
