looks like someone hit the clay model with a hockey stick, and they all went- 'ja! sehr sehr schön'.

It probably evolves into something more spectacular on the M

Von Hoydonk?

He's not German. His last name is Van Hooydonk.

Cheers

what happens to these concept cars? does someone get to keep it or will it be destroyed?

bavarian19 · 12-07-2012, 07:58 AM

rear end looks too much like the A5

AKRAPOVICOWNS · 12-07-2012, 08:18 AM

I dont care if they change bumpers, rearview mirrors and wheels..but keep these LED lights as they are.

nbennettksu · 12-07-2012, 08:40 AM

theres no way the final product looks like that

Lol. It's circles. Lexus copied BMW and BMW copies Lexus. They just rotate around each other.

But yea that rear end reminds me of the LS.

You can see already this is not only beautiful but will be packed with a level of performance that is probably going to be unmatched by anyone else

Those headlights will make it to the production car. Front/rear bumpers, side mirrors and woven leather, no.

bosz · 12-07-2012, 09:51 AM

can anyone confirm LED turn signals? I dont see any indication or evidence anywhere suggesting this!

Frosty · 12-07-2012, 09:53 AM

if one ignores the bumpers I think we can see a more realistic production car... and I think it looks fantastic

agreed! production models from bmw dont deviate too much from their concepts unlike other luxury automakers mentioned in this thread.

Reminds me too much of the S5.

Thinks I hope they remove but I bet will not.
1. Pep-boys side vents
2. Wicker cup holders and seats, this I think they did just for fun, they will not offer this. Thankfully!

Once they have this car sitting 1.5 inches higher, 18" wheels, the regular mirrors, door handles and the regular boring bumpers, it will look like a A5 with cooler lights. I hope I'm wrong because I love the concept but their history is on my side.

#1 and #2 I agree with. #5 I would actually be just as happy with a more M-sport looking bumper (I wouldn't call the M-sport kit boring).

As for #3 and #4 > isn't that what we all love to do - mod! Those will be easy to remedy -- just grab some 19 or 20" wheels, get some spacers and that will put the wheel gap right back at where it is in this concept. If not, then a slight drop is all you need but I am usually pretty happy with the wheel gap with BMW's sport packages.

If you go for barebones 428 or 430 or whatever it ends up being then I'm sure your comments will ring true but I don't think the concept is ever meant to represent the bottom of the line model. In fact, the concept still has silver trim, silver kidneys etc -- once you get those in gloss black, add a lip spoiler etc this will start to look even better! Very excited for this one.

Also I don't get why everyone loves bringing up the A5 here. The silhouette is very similar but the lights etc look nothing like an A5.

Antares · 12-07-2012, 12:11 PM

The rear bumper makes the rear lighter; it looks really avant-garde.

luckistryke · 12-07-2012, 12:56 PM

i like the fact that its wide as a A/S/RS5 now, hopefully not as heavy

bobodrink · 12-07-2012, 01:52 PM

The A5 is one of the best or better designs for modern cars, thats why it sold so much. I won't mind having little resemblance of the A5 since i love big ass cars like the 911s, really distinctive. I didn't get the A5 or S5 due to I am not a fan of Audi, but I am a fan of BMW and this new design makes me happy if the front is a little sharper than round.
