[...] I for one am glad that they didn’t decide to enlage the kidney grille nostrils to ridiculous proportions like what most artists have been doing with their next generation BMW impressions after they had a look at the BMW Concept CS. [...]

agree with happymeal, silverfish, nicecar. Its a rip off the charger/challenger in design. i think its to appeal more to american market. looks like a desperate attempt from bmw to get into the 4dr coupe market.

Now this is what I really call SEXY.

Lusty, Alluring and Provocative.

She’s a real femme fatale.

I’m falling in love with her already. Loved those “hidden” quad tailpipes.

Cheers!

What’s the main purpose of this concept… I wonder. The motivation behind it.

Apart from the very large nostrils, everything is perfect, especially the rear, which is very menacing to say the least. Love those lines and folds on the body panel too, that’s the way panels should be, not just some slightly curved piece of sheet metal.

BMW’s are turning back to the ’shark menace’ design nowadays, just like the old 6 series.

BTW, it looks cool, except for the ‘eyelid’. And something to take note of, notice that the grille is’t chromed, which most beemers seems to have.

ed0r:

You just spoke my mind, I too wanted to say that it resembled the Aston Martin Rapide, same platform perhaps?

I too think that it was designed by the Americans just like the Z4 before it. The Z4 was a really tangy affair, didn’t really like it because of its odd looks but seemed fine to me after they plonked the M3’s S54 engine in.

i rather like this, really.

however, as mentioned by some other posters, looks quite a bit like the aston martin rapide especially the profile and also the front. love that interior though – so much better than the current BMW look.

when Merc’s CLS concept first came out, some journalists (esp Autocar) were predicting its downfall… seeing how this segment has developed, looks like they could not have been more wrong!

my opinion is that the rear lights line should be improved a bit… too fussy… but looks somewhat interesting. the front lights.. a bit bigger then it’s perfect.. sexy car there….

btw.. are the door handles on the window frame???

Looks a bit like a shark to me. A nod to the past? Definately very agressive looking. IMHO i would prefer the CLS over this as for four door i would prefer a bit more class than being so brutish.

i really wonder where’s the market for AM Rapide and this BMW?

1 mean car on the way… This is good for bosses who like to act like mafia LOL! Well i like this car design, aggressive looking. Maybe the interior will made it more darker and sportier, this will suit the looks.

topgear commented the powerplant will be an extended S85B50 V10 unit… V12 6000cc.

also, im not sure if its purely Chris’ work, as the current Design head is actually adrian van hooydok…

the shoulder line above the rear wheel totally mimics the Dodge Chargers lines!!
alot of this car look like a Dodge Charger, the current gen.

finally bmw has gone away from the super boring looking dashboards …

any1 noticed the roof has a channel at the middle… strange…

Damn, another scary, nightmare inducing grille. That front end needs work.

The back end seems a bit fussy.

All I can say is that it is very American, very bling, very brash, very “pimp my ride”. Not my type.

Sleek and nice design. The front look very angry…nice nice.
I like the interior…simple, elegant.
The dashboard look cool.
Imagine this car park next to CLS.

the side profile looks like the Aston Martin Rapide. That’s ok I like it. The back is lovely. The front, hmm something gotto to be done there… huuuuuge nose lol. Overall, way to go BMW…

Lastly, this car is for us to appreciate, and for the rich to buy lol.
