I know it's

but I couldn't resist because I know you'll love it

GreyGhost · 04-19-2007, 05:21 PM

That thing looks HUGE!!!

M2audioman · 04-19-2007, 05:22 PM

It's 200 inches long..

Looks great though

funkahdafi · 04-19-2007, 05:23 PM

It hink it's got a lot of the 6 series combined with the old Z8. It's supposed to be the successor of the Z8.

booforty · 04-19-2007, 05:37 PM

Mmmm... interesting...

nightkhan · 04-19-2007, 05:39 PM

from the side shot, the front reminds me of an aston martin, and the rear window slopes down like the lexus GS.

definitely very different from the bmw's we're use to seeing.

dmboone25 · 04-19-2007, 06:05 PM

It almost looks TOO big...not sure i like it...would be one of those things i would need to see in person before really deciding.

Casey 5 · 04-19-2007, 06:08 PM

In a word...WOW.

+1, Definitely reminds me of an Aston Martin. I Dont really like it, I'd rather have an Aston Martin, but to each his own.

STE92VE · 04-19-2007, 06:09 PM

More design work needed on the front....those kidney grills and lower air scoops are way too big!

lkraven · 04-19-2007, 06:16 PM

That thing looks like it's falling into a black hole and getting streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetched out.

I don't like.

Sorry I didn't know that my pants were unzipped.

m4tte F82 · 04-19-2007, 06:22 PM

Pretty cool, but the rear quarter reminds me of a volvo or something - I think the kink in the c-pillar is off somehow...

Zirenz2006 · 04-19-2007, 06:26 PM

From the side it looks like the Aston Martin Rapide concept car.

It's got 4 doors yo!

We'll get more on the potential new "8-Series" from Shanghai as it comes. – Mike Spinelli

Oz · 04-19-2007, 07:12 PM

I really like the rear and interior is very different for sure in a good way. I'm not a big fan of the front but I'm sure that will be worked out.

E90330iS · 04-19-2007, 07:15 PM

You guys are right! It is designed in the market of Aston Martin Rapide and the future Porsche Panamera! See this link from worldcarfans.com for more information! http://blog.worldcarfans.com/index.c...ncept-revealed

ehhhwik · 04-19-2007, 07:24 PM

oh man, BMW trying to top Maybach's now?? the grill is gigantic!

DC52E55 · 04-19-2007, 07:26 PM

Fugly!

TonyLukes3 · 04-19-2007, 08:18 PM

Ehhh, from the sides and angles it looks great. However, from straight on I really don't like it at all. Doesn't look at all like a BMW - call me old-fashioned but I still like the concept of instantly recognizing BMW's

Ruff Rider · 04-19-2007, 09:38 PM
