Neat, but the front end looks like some kind of grumpy transformer.

Rear definitely pulls a '63 'Vette split-window vibe. I assume the tops fit into the trunk.

Make it with a 3.5L in-line 6 and a manual transmission and I'd buy one. And please, no TV screen.

Looks like the Roadster isn’t dead after all. This looks great, love that pointy nose. New Z incoming?

Looks like 8 Series Cv meets roadster meets classic speedboat. Very nice design, very clean and classy and a LOT of production parts. It's definitely just a concept and we likely won't see a similar model on a showroom floor anytime soon.
BUT the Swarovski Crystal BMW logo's in the M Seats on this is definitely worth a look as an option on 8 Series, 7 series, X7, XM, M5 etc

New 8 series with 2 seats.
Interesting that it has idrive7. Probably an earlier concept that BMW decided to hold back for a while.

Very interesting.. I like the rear end, minus the oval exhaust pipes. However, I'm not a fan of the front end at all. Side profile is ok? There's just something about this that already looks outdated. Not sure why.

It’ll look completely sinister in BSM…

Come on BMW. This is nothing more than a reworked M8.

This is new, 6 Series making a comeback? I'd never thought I see the day.

Besides the sheet metal it looks like the whole interior/ mirrors/ etc are parts bin from current 8, leading me to believe this is a concept design for the new 8 and it may be almost ready for production

I know and I agree, but at least it’s not a beaver!

Plus the M8 or 8 series in general is one beautiful looking car! I still love the way they look and happy they are building on that versus the beaver looking 7 or it’s little beaver brother the 4.

Give it time, let’s see where BMW goes with this

Ya didn’t care for the Gran Coupe; if it’s going to be a coupe keep it that way.

Nothing new and exciting or compelling about this from my perspective. Recycled old ideas and even some borrowed/stolen from top competitors.

Where are the bleeding edge visionaries at bmw?

They’ve sadly lost their edge.

Now I have to get off my lazy butt and find another manufacturer I really like better (after 26+ BMW’s).

Snooze fest imho.
