Gotcha! The BMW Z Vision Concept was caught on camera being carefully placed on its transport en route to the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. These are the first pictures of the Z Vision Concept which has been rumoured for months now. At a media announcement a week ago BMW called it the EfficientDynamics Vision. Initial stories talked of a two-seat sports car with a difference; it would use not fossil fuels but electric power for its drive systems.
What seems to be a well-covered concept turns out to give some interesting clues as to the styling direction taken. The front grille for example, shows a strong resemblance to that of the 2007 CS Concept car. The side skirts look quite innovative while the chin appears to be a little radical, even for BMW. Side mirrors are nowhere to be seen. Overall the Z Vision seems to have combined attributes from the 3 Series Coupe and the CS Concept.
BMW says the production version of this sports car will serve as a shining industry example that eco-sustainability, great handling and good design don't have to be words that never meet.

i don't know why they keep messing around with this same station wagon-like profile. they are saturating the whole god damn market with subaru outback looking station wagons, SAVs, and "GTs" and cancelling all the cool cars like the M3 CS and the CS Concept. BMW, like Porsche, is losing its soul for the sake of niche markets and it's pissing this car guy off!

because this is a simply stunning car: exactly the direction BMW should be going in
If they do put this concept into production, they will be a class above MB, Audi, etc.

"the all new BMW Z5 sports activity hardtop roadster"
It is quite long, but it doesn´t look like a radical M-1 to me:
Look at it. I think it isn´t so wide in the rear part as the M-1, the lines of the car are more fluid (like the 6- series) than faceted (like the M-1), and even, although they could have been changed them not to give clues, look at the style of the wheels...
