2020 BMW 8 Series Convertible photos show flagship drop-top is nearly ready

On what looks like a cold and somewhat dark morning, one of our spy photographers clicked off some photos of the new BMW 8 Series Convertible testing with very little covering it up. It appears to be wearing the same kind of camouflage as
its coupe sibling, so there aren’t many new details. But since it was fairly dark, the lights were on giving us a nice peek.

We mainly get a look at the taillights. They appear to use an LED light strip for primary lighting. They also stretch forward and around the rear fenders quite far. This matches up with the headlights, which also reach back toward the wheel arches.

We can also tell that this is a garden-variety 8 Series, rather than
the M version we saw earlier. This is because it has much smaller wheels, tires and brakes. It also has the exhaust outlet fully integrated into the rear bumper, like the coupe. On the M version we’ve seen, the exhaust uses more traditional round tips.

We currently
expect the BMW 8 Series to arrive for 2020, though given how far along this test mule seems to be, there is a possibility it could come a year sooner. Either way, we still have a bit of a wait before BMW officially reveals its 8 Series
flagship coupe and convertible.
