Spotted: New 8 Series Coupe undergoing testing in SA

Cape Town - It seems the BMW X5 test mule wasn't the only model undergoing testing in South Africa, a Wheels24 reader sent us a photograph of the automaker's upcoming 8 Series. 

BMW will present the new 8 Series Coupe during the course of the year, there'll be a high-performance M8 version too.

The former car has been track testing in Italy earlier this year. 

According to BMW, the 8 Series replaces the 6 Series Coupe. 

Wheels24 reader Reynold Boer said he spotted the car, in camouflage garb, on Saturday morning (February 10) at the Engen petrol station in Heidelberg, Western Cape.
