The BMW 8 Series Cabrio Facelift has been missing for more than six months, since last May it appeared camouflaged for the first time in this facelift. The new spy photos of the Munich brand’s most exclusive convertible show hardly any details, despite the fact that its reveal in 2022 is getting closer and closer.
The flagship of the Bavarian brand’s sports car will retain the characteristic elegance with which it was launched just over three years ago. The 8 Series Convertible was launched on the market in autumn 2018 and is already preparing a facelift that will be difficult to recognize and differentiate. The first spy photos The facelift of this luxury convertible was seen last spring and has been missing ever since.
But it has returned and has been seen in German streets near the BMW development center in Munich, with practically no change in detail compared to the first sighting. The prototype of the BMW 8 Series Cabrio Facelift 2022 keeps the entire front as the first day, hiding the improvements implemented that will affect the grill, headlights and the design of the bumper air intakes. Although the German brand has gone to great lengths to hide the front bumper, we do know that under the multiple layers of vinyl and those metallic mesh, hides a renewed design of the sports package “M Sport”.
