Why a concept? everyone knew that this was coming... BMW is trying too hard to get noticed, first the bangle flame sufacing and now spewing out production cars disguised as concepts just like Mercedes...

Wooow, I have to admit I'm not a BMW fan, but that looks dangerous.

I'm afraid It will cast the E 55 AMG of Its throne, how much hp? :cry:

380? regardless of Nm/lbf, that can't be right.. the E55 has around 700Nm :shock: 380Nm from a 5.5L v10, hrrmmm somethings not right.
unless it was 380kw?
looks damn good anyway

That would be a tough decision between the E500 and the new M5.
Whats the new new E60 all about? is it still the same body style?

Guess another contender would be the Rs6. But I was under the impression that they were going to stop making them like they were. or at least in the states. 0X think they were just gonna use the A4 chassis/body and put in bigger engine as a substitute.
