Being an huge BMW enthusiast, I'm saddened by many of the new styling I see BMW incorporate into their final production vehicles. I don't mean to be offensive to those who may own the lines, but besides the 3 series coupe I find every new BMW either appalling or very lack luster. That is, until this...

This is the BMW Concept CS - a four door luxury GT. I'm not a purist who demands that all sports cars confine to strict, coupe like standards. Hey if you want to put a W12 in the Bently GT, go for it! -but imagine what happens when BMW does something similar. The agile and invigorating ride of a BMW, and this time with GOOD LOOKS!

Looks to me like a cross between a 6 Series, a Bently GT and a Maserati Quatroporto :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
 
It's nice..definetly a large vehicle though. The beauty of this car is the subtle aggressiveness. I love both the front and back ends.

Yup, the front incorporates the intakes we see on the new X5 (which I actually do sortra like looks wise) and the back has the 6 Series lip with a Bently GT esque exhaust. GORGEOUS !
 
Love the look from the sides but don't like the front or rear. It's like a late entry to the CLS party.



EDIT: Looking at it again there's some rather large changes that have to be made before it comes to market. Bumpers?

I'm pretty sure those are the bumpers...my car, despite being far inferior, in similiar is design as far as the bumpers. They are very 'integrated' so to speak.



Looking at the front profile, I see lots of exposed tire. Not a good thing.
 
It's really not bad until you get close enough to see the details. Some of the folds in the rear quarter panel might actually whistle at highway speeds, LOL.
 
Way to big, too many curves. Interior... is exquisite in some ways. All I know is I like the new performance out of the newer designs. Appearance wise it will take a generation or two to get right.
 
Hi everybody!



Where can i read the rules of this forum or something? I am blonde ;)
 
BMW got it right with the 335, not this. You should check out what the guys over at bimmerforums.com think of this concept:D
 
I think they did a really good job with this. The connection to the Charger is obvious...it has the angry, menacing headlights and the muscle car shoulder line at the top of the rear quarter panel. However, there's a great flow to the design and with a few changes it could be a whole lot better. It needs slimmer eyebrows and a few less lines, to start. Love the way they did the front grilles and hood though.
 
i like the idea but the mor ei look at it, the mor ei hope they drastically redesign it. way too big and long first of all and some of the body lines are disgusting...i also just noticed the mirrors, they look awful. im more interested in the 1 series hatch coming to the US
