BMW PAS Crossover Spied with Finished Front & Rear Lights

 BMW PAS Crossover Spied with Finished Front & Rear Lights
Spy photos of BMW PAS

Latest spy shots


Another round of spy shots of BMW’s Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS) has surfaced, revealing what appear to be production-ready front and rear light treatments under disguise. The car, which is expected to be a five-door fastback sized between the 5-Series and 7-Series that will debut as a 2010 model, has not yet been officially unveiled. It’s expected to be the first of a possible new range of BMW products, the V-Series.

The PAS--or is it the V5?--will sport “coupe-sedan” styling similar to that of the X6, with a more road-going stance. It’s expected to be a four-seater, also in the same vein as the X6, powered by BMW’s 3.0 liter straight-six in gasoline and diesel permutations. A more powerful 4.0 liter diesel V8 may be offered, and BMW has not ruled out the possibility of a hybrid version.

Underneath the camouflage in these photos, the final hood lines can be discerned, and the dramatically sloped rear glass will give this car a unique profile on the road.

.. indeed just *another* pointless car from BMW. those guys just want to sell. it's really a big shame, BMW is really losing it's aura with cars like these.. and the rear of this thing makes me think of a Ford Focus..

Cancelling the M3 CSL in favour for a "M" version X5/X6 is a clear signal they are going down! I think the latest cars from BMW are a clear sign of that :( Too bad, I used to have the upmost respect for all BMWs, now I only have that for SOME BMWs :(

No its a new version of the X6 but with a different name, and its gonna be produced side by side with the X6.. now i really dont get the point of this car. a bit like the Mini One.. same as the Cooper but different name.

Should be interesting, sort of R-Class for BMW

BMW must have alot of money laying around if they keep developing overlapping cars like these...so this must be for people that don't want a sedan or a SUV or a wagon... So it's another cop-out car like the new Subaru Imprezza 5door hatch back...but only bigger and more upscale... Damn...

Is this going to be yet another stupid 4 wheel drive that doesnt look like an SUV and cant go off road, so just has 4 wheel drive to burn up our oil supplies a bit quicker. Stupid pointless crossover fashion, at least they don't sell well because most people are clever enough to see through this.
