That’s fantastic looking. Too bad it’s a Photoshop speculation, BMW’s track record being what it is, I doubt the finished product will look that good.

Awesome. Now this is more like what a BMW is supposed to look like. Smoother lines, lots of class. Maybe they’ll get rid of the sunreflective paint, which dulls the car down too much. Hard to believe Bangle did this.

And I do have to say, like the new 1 series this seems to be a little bit of a throw-back to before the Bangle BMWs, when they still had simpler, more minimalist styling and exuded sport.

Current BMW’s just look bloated in the wrong places, and seem to slanted.

Ich liebe dieser neu BMW, I’ve decided.

I thought so, I mean we knew it was in the X6, no reason to not put it in the next-gen 5.

The ‘rumor’ of the engine: there is a twin-turbo 4.4 V8 (400hp). BMW showed it in Detroit 2008

Hey! Bangle designed something that looks good. The hind quarters are not all messed up now (still worse than it could be but I like it better than currently), and we have a very nice front end.

Now just shave 400lbs out of the weight and increase fuel economy by a lot.
