Heh yea, I like the fact they covered up the empty BMW badget spot.

I wonder how much heavier the hard top will be..

What the hell is this..? That's news to me! Some pretty interesting design ideas here!
Thanks inso

bmagni · 04-19-2007, 01:22 PM

its just a concep but looks much better than the CLS

They were talking about a possible Z9 debut at the Shangai motorshow, and they come up with this

It doesn't look very good in general, but there are some pretty good details. It looks a mix between the new Maseratti Coupe, AM Rapide with a touch of bimmer's design :roll:

Can't wait for the final car. BMW really needs a car to compete with the CLS 8)

Exactly my thoughts. :roll:

ps: MAN JUST LOOK AT THOSE RIMS!!!!!!!!!!!! F*CK!!!!!!!I guess im in love

Just came across this:
http://www.leftlanenews.com/speculat...iginal-m3.html

Imo this speculation could be true, but not named as M1, of course, and how awesome this would be...

^ Probably a 1-Series M model. In anycase it should not be name M1.

Remember there's been M models before that wasn't conventionally named like the M540i, X5 4.6iS/4.8iS, 850CSi, M535CSi, and of course the 3.0CSL. All those were definitely M Cars but just didn't have the M naming convention.

But seriously I think the 135i w/ the N54 Bi-Turbo would be more than enough for the 1 Series.

the CLS competitor just needs a serious change to the front end and i think it would be badass. Kinda makes me wonder if they dressed up a Z4 in camo gear and sent it out just to fuel the rumors of the Z9 so as to take any attention away from the X6, since no one has any spyshots of it.

But what confuses me, is that Spartanburg is already gearing up to produce this thing, yet no spyshots of it has ever surfaced. So where did they test it? VW's secret facility? Sure as hell wasn't on the 'Ring as they normally do. spy photos would have been flooding the internet from day one

Almost looks like an aston martin concept from the side profile... Nice design shift, although I agree with ZfrkS62, the front looks a little 'last minute' - maybe even a bit clumsy.

I must say however, that on the whole, I like it... Interior looks great!

Bernardo · 04-19-2007, 05:02 PM

To be honest I didn't liked the front end when i first saw it, but now its kinda growing on me..the front design idea is good, but it needs some improvements, but the rest...seriously...i hope it come out EXACTLY as it is in those pics...looks just so awesome, can't wait to sse the final car.

inso · 04-20-2007, 07:34 AM

front end looks like dodge demon and rest of the car like AM Rapide

Yeah that front bumper looks really cool! 8)

Nice.. 1er coupe will be a great addition to the line up.

But still no sign of the 1-series in the US. Any news on that Zfrk?
