Don’t expect any significant styling changes. The BMW 8 Series arrived just a few years ago, positioning itself atop the automaker’s lineup of luxury cars. It serves as a pinnacle for the brand, commanding a hefty price of $85,000 for the entry-level four-door Gran Coupe . It’s available as a two-door and a convertible, all of which will soon see an updated exterior design if this new batch of spy shots is any indication. Our photographers have caught the 8 Series Gran Coupe wearing camouflage on the front and rear in an attempt to hide the subtle design changes. BMW is expected to update the entire lineup, though the Gran Coupe is the first 8 Series model spied with a new look. The photos reveal a new front bumper sitting below a revised front grille, which is flanked by slightly slimmer headlights. The same subtlety is present at the back with a revised rear bumper and what appears to be new taillight graphics.

Jeremy Clarkson talks about the one car he regrets selling
He also says he'll never buy an electric car. Ah, 2019. Those were simpler times when we were allowed to go to the pub and have a beer without having to worry about catching a potentially deadly virus. Drivetribe has uploaded on YouTube some previously unreleased footage shot a couple of years ago with co-founder Jeremy Clarkson shooting the breeze about cars, obviously.

Not only that, but he sold it for a mere £3,000. Nowadays, the homologation special costs well into six figures, regardless of currency. Only 1,265 examples of the Shark were made between 1972 and 1975.
