Since BMW has started to spend all their time designing automotive oddities like the X6 and 5-Series GT, grad student Iulian Bumbu has decided to give the company a "suggestion" by creating this dynamic looking S.X Concept.
Envisioned to be BMW's next great coupe, the S.X Concept takes several design cues from the BMW CS Concept and blends it will some familiar themes from the Fisker Karma and Aston Martin One-77. One of the key design elements is the concept's low and wide stance, which gives the car plenty of street presence without being overpowering.
Bumbu declined to comment on what engine would provide motivation for the S.X, but the X5 M's 555hp (408kW) twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 seems like a logical choice.
As you may recall, Bumbu also created the racy Lamborghini Insecta Concept earlier this year. Like the BMW S.X Concept, the Insecta blended traditional parent company styling with a bold interpretation of the future.

Now I don't like the current BMW design language, but I can appreciate its oddness.
This is just too conventional, too safe, too obvious. This is what a classic coupe looks like and it's not innovative.
This is the car people who don't have BMW's, want BMW to make. It's a stunning car in itself, but it's not a BMW in my opinion.
