Whilst everyone is answering to the question that has been successfully answered by the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Klasse BMW are concentrating on making their interpretation as further upmarket as possible , positioning it above the 7er and aiming straight at Porsche's Panamera and Aston Martin's Rapide in fact if BMW acquired Aston Martin then the Rapide would be the car we are talking about, alas they did not and Z9 will replace that piece of the jigsaw.

The Z9 will be based on architecture and platform modules from the next 6er Coupe and the next 7er . The Z9 is aiming right at the Panamera by offering a strong four door Coupe shape with strong sloping roof line and short rear deck . Z9 will be the Flagship for BMW in style , performance , luxury and dynamics , Uniquely for this car it will receive a four door suicide set up with hidden rear handles and entry points located internally. Space will be limited to four and the interiors will be prepared by BMW's "Individual" programme . The Z9 will basically be a Coupe version of the Z10 Roadster which will feature a folding hardtop roof using Painted Carbon Fibre.

Both cars share the same front end and rear end styling with a very wide Kidney grille , small aggressive shaped lights and the rear with wrap around lights similar to the California Spyder project - Z10 and Z9 will bridge BMW to Rolls-Royce's sedan below the Phantom - The Seraph.

Good eye. Looks like Huck is on to something. Let's just hope that the, um... "pig nose" is well executed when it debuts. I presume the next model that could possibly inherit these styling cues is the F01 7er. Am I wrong?

I also wonder - if the styling is poorly received, what will its nickname be? We already had "Bangle Butt" and "Edna Eyebrows."

I agree, the front looks crappy to say the least but the side and especially the rear looks awesome!!

Absolutely sick, inside out. That front looks fantastic with the new grille

So tomorrow we will see real life shots???? That should be even better

Im not really sure what to think of this. If i were to jump on the band wagon, it would be hypocritical especially right after i got done completely ripping on the CLS. I was pretty disgusted by it at first but its slowly growing on me-every time i look at it, i like it a little more. If they could make this car real bad ass-positioned above the 7 series with hot rod engines then it would be cool, but if they put that 4.8 engine in there and call it a day-it would be pretty dissapointing.
