The angular luxury coupe came to symbolize the BMW's styling during the decade.
After 20 years away, the 8 series is set to reappear in production guise sometime in 2018.
On Thursday, BMW gave us a sneak peek at the new 8 Series with the introduction of the 8 Series Concept ahead of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the shores of Lake Como in Italy.
"The number 8 has always represented the pinnacle of sports performance and exclusivity at BMW," BMW chairman Harald Krüger said in a statement. "The forthcoming BMW 8 Series Coupe will demonstrate that razor-sharp dynamics and modern luxury can go hand-in-hand."

"The design of the BMW Concept 8 Series provides a fresh interpretation of iconic BMW styling cues," BMW Group design boss Adrian van Hooydonk said in a statement. "And it also showcases a new approach to the use of forms which is reflected particularly prominently in the car's surfacing. A handful of crisp lines mark out clear surfaces, and the car's volumes are powerfully sculpted."
