BMW 8 Series Convertible REVEALED in ‘official’ spy shots

With the new BMW 8 Series already revealed, BMW are back with more 8 Series news with ‘official’ spy photos the new 8 Series Convertible.

The BMW 8 Series news has all been about the new 8 Series Coupe, but with the new 8 Series properly revealed, BMW are turning their attention to the inevitable 8 Series Convertible, due to arrive, along with the 8 Series Gran Coupe, in 2019

As is becoming the norm, BMW has released some ‘spy’ photos of the new 8 Series convertible as it tests in Death Valley, giving it far more sun than most BMW convertible will ever encounter in the process.

BMW has been busy running the 8 Series Convertible between Las Vegas and Death Valley to see how the new convertible will cope with temperatures of more than 50c, sitting in stop start traffic on the Las Vegas Strip, blatting round gravel tracks near Mount Whitney and driving between the Pacific coast and the Rocky Mountains.

BMW has also been leaving the Convertible, top down, in Death Valley for hours to see what the extreme heat does to the interior and electronics, and been to the Hoover Dam to see how it copes with the strong electromagnetic waves the hydropower turbines generates.

Not that any prospective 8 Series Convertible buyers will care. Just as long as it looks the part and drives as a BMW 8 Series should.
