looks a little Aston Martin like :hmm:
the front is very DBS-like ( besides the grill obviously) :wink:
me likes


text in german, sorry
but you can get most of the info anyway :wink:
quite long and only 1.36m height which gives a stortier look, some 600hp engine to be mounted ...

It is simply a concept car. Just a chance to throw a few ideas here and there.

It sure has some cool details. And those rims... man they are crazy!

p.s. About the downfall thing - that's just your opinion, nothing else!

[dutchmasterflex]

I told ya BMW wants to compete with the 4-door "coupe" CLS... Hopefully this doesn't become the new 8-series.

[ARMAN]

my god this is hideous :(

[silentm]

wow i like that interior, though the front end isn't nice imo, the rest is great 8)

[Bernardo]

I like it 8)

here a little video of it

I don't think it's hideous....nop, not at all!

[chest3r]

Now, that I've looked to the pics properly, I have to say it looks quite cool. The front is a bit ugly, but the rest is looks good.

But I don't understand what the hell has the 8 series to do with this. Will the future 8 series be a 4-door :roll:

BMW continues its downfall....

What downfall ?!?! :slap: Maybe if it had four rings in the front it would look good....

[novass]

Oh wow, that is just about as ugly as a handicapped duck with genital warts and a meth addiction. :puke:

[acmarttin]

I think they're headed in the right direction.

I know they're not going to build it and whatever they do build will be watered down and safe to hit people with so my reactions aren't that passionate to this model.

[TopGearNL]

Like someone said before, Rapide ripoff!

I can only hope that if this car comes they will make a 850CSI again! :twisted:

[Q]

it kinda has the dodge charger character in it

but i like it alot

[rave426]

The front facia looks like shit. The rest is actually kinda sexy.

Dont get excited about the interior. Its only a concept and BMW is notorious for having extremely boring interiors!

[ZfrkS62]

repost. check the bmw news thread.

[Z3uS]

Weird, needs some getting used to.

Looks like a bad hack job to me. Not feeling this at all. . . :puke:

The competition: Quattroporte, Rapide, CLS, all look waaaaay better. With the Maserati looking the best and the Rapide a close second. And CLS gets mentioned because it created the segment. 8)

[Chaos in 1983!]

The front is ugly as hell, the rest is absolutley gorgeous, yeah it has some resemblance to the Rapide but not enough to call it a ripoff. The first thing I thought when I saw it is that the front reminds me of the Charger, just as Q said...I think it might be the headlights that give it that appearance.

BMW should definelty build this, just change the front and take it into production...

[Shinigami]

Holy crap the front is ugly, those nostrils are hideous!
Only a BMW fanatic could find something positive to say about that :?

[numerouno]

Very ugly copy of the Rapide with the nose being the worst. I'm pretty sure that BMW wont make this piece of crap!

Don't forget the Panamera....which will also look hideous and completely miss the point

[Pokiou]

That car looks fantastic !!! it looks sporty sedany :D

[Sir_GT]

I wonder how BMW is going to introduce this to the public...

"Ladies and Gentlemen... feast your eyes on the Maserati Quattroporte's ugly sister!"

:?

...and to think, I actually like BMW.

[ZfrkS62]

feelings around the shop were that this is going to make an interesting addition to the line up. Everyone seems to like the lines..with exception of the front, so i guess now, all we do is wait and see what is said about it.

They don't take a car to this level and not come through with something, so this SHOULD be what they have in mind.
