CS?
Yup, this is supposed to be the next 8 series, we will see.
So the 2 that voted 8 series are correct. Lot of CS though guesses understandibly.
Not a bad look obviously targeting the CLS crowd, to obvious.

Dated 04/03/07
BMW is considering building a four-door "coupe" to compete with the Mercedes CLS-Class, according to a new report by German magazine Auto Zeitung. The vehicle would likely revive the 8-Series designation, starting with a new 850i.
BMW offered an 8-Series in the 1990s, with the V12 850Ci delivering 326 horsepower. A less expensive 840i delivered 286 hp. While V12 power is not a certainty for a new 8-Series, BMW does have a V12 engine from its 760i sedan at its disposal. The company also has its M division V10 available, as well as a range of V8s. The Auto Zeitung report suggests the first model would be an 850i, which means BMW is likely to use its V8 powerplant from the 550i and 650i in the base model.

Neue BMW-Modelle: Nachfolger des BMW 850i
Eines muss man den BMW-Strategen lassen: Sie haben ein außerordentliches Gespür für neue Modellvarianten
BMW-Chef Norbert Reithofer will frische Modellideen, die potenzielle Premium-Kunden begeistern können, nicht der Konkurrenz überlassen. Eine neue Marktlücke öffnet sich derzeit: luxuriöse viertürige Sportcoupés.
So soll auch aus München ein neues Sportmodell auf Basis der nächsten 7er-Reihe kommen. Da eine M-Version der 7er-Reihe nicht zur Philosophie der BMW-Sportabteilung passt, soll das neue Dynamik-Modell die traditionsreiche Bezeichnung 850i tragen. Die von 1990 bis 1999 gebaute 8er-Reihe mit den V12-Versionen 850i/850 Ci (300/326 PS) und dem V8-Einstiegsmodell 840i (286 PS) war stilistisch keine Offenbarung, verfügte aber über ein überdurchschnittlich gutes Fahrwerk. Und daran soll die neue 8er-Reihe anknüpfen.

I'll be posting up some videos of my 8-Fest meet last February. Finally got my video disks back a couple of days ago.

"Artist's" work, not BMW's. The Benz CLS will not be competing with an 8. If there is an 8, it will be over and above the CLS in terms of size, performance, price and features.

awesome, i don't see an 8 being in the same class as a CLS - the 8 stands for so much more than a CLS
