Spied BMW concept is not the Z Vision Concept car slated for Frankfurt

thank goodness

That?s funny... all the special treatment to be a five year old design study car...

@Bristy: [raises his hand]....right here. It still looks good, despite going to Uhaul. I'm always skeptical about what automakers say about design concepts though - I understand protection, but it seems like it is wrapped up so no one would see - secrecy?..and if it is an old concept from 5 years ago that is fully developed, i would think someone on the net would have leaked a pic or something....I think this would be a good design direction, despite only seeing the form....I'd buy it. From what I can tell, it looks different, aggressive, and I like it. Concept Fishes, Narco.

If that?s story would be true, still looks good to me...

exactly... old BMWs are better looking than current ones.. a 5 year old bmw would be good looking...

Well I still like it, but BMW if it is a 5 year old concept why cant we see it... Wait if it is 5 years old that means it is a Bangle, c'mon BMW show it!

i don't beleive .. However, its not bad.

I think a little more needs to be visible to truly tell, but, and excuse me here, BMWs styling efforts haven't exactly hit the drop-dead gorgeous mark in recent years. If this were the basis for a new CSI with classic design elements from the 1970s car, I'd say the Mercedes CL would have some competition.

5 year old design study? So does the "cash for clunkers" bill apply?

how come a five year old design study has been kept in the studio for so long? Never heard of this before, and usually when they decide to make a full scale model, and make it drivable or at least moveable, it is being shown. can't believe anyone at bmw have thought this to have been a failed concept study and then decieded that it shouldn't be showed..

Interesting. Fingers crossed for the upcomming 5-series.

Looks neat. I'd like to see it without the cover though.
