Re: BMW unveiled "Concept CS" !

OK... the videos that Eni posted here made me rethink my position on the car. I still think tha overall it doesn't look that good, but as I mentionned, there are some great design elements.

What I like:
  • Interior, just awesome
  • Head lights
  • Rear lights
  • Trunk line with integreted spoiler
  • Rims
  • C-pillar roof line

What I don't like
  • The grill, can't get used to it
  • Proportions are weird

Re: BMW unveiled "Concept CS" !

Nice idea, but the front is so...... Ford Like. Not a sleek in the front as the CLS.

Re: BMW unveiled "Concept CS" !

I have to say those ultra-HQ pics warmed me a bit up on the car.
The kidney grille doesn't look so over-sized any more. Looks like I'm getting used to it. One thing I love about the car is its interior, it's absolutely to die for!

Re: BMW unveiled "Concept CS" !

quick comparo something i am noting
in the Z(GT concept, the grill was exactly the one to be used in the pre FL 7er but with a 6er contour
here the grill outline is 90% exactly the same as the preFL 7er
i am willing to borrow and bet a 3rd ball that the grill will not change at all in the F01!

Re: BMW unveiled "Concept CS" !

Concept CS designers:

Exterior: Karim Antoine Habib (the guy who designed E60 5er interior)

Interior: Nadya Arnaout (senor Designworks designer; designed several consumer product items )

Interior details: Andre Franco-Luis (a young designer; just graduated in 2005)

Is this the first time BMW interior layout & interior details are designed by different people? Haven't seen such strategy before. Usually chosen interior design proposal included not only general interior layout design (dash, central console etc) but also all the knobs, buttons, levers, latches, handles, etc. This time details are designed separately by different designer (focused on details only), while interior designer designs only the general interior layout.

This new strategy makes me think we are going to see more attention-to-details in the future BMW vehicles - not only in Individual variants. I hope so.

Re: BMW unveiled "Concept CS" !

The front is starting to look like a dodge charger and the rear favors the New Lexus GS.

I mean its a great idea, especially since they got it from Benz ( ) and just made it longer. I would like to see it make it to production with a completely different front. Plus they should put it between the 5 and 7. NOT the 7 and Rolls Royce. That would completely devalue the 7 series as the Flagship. If they want to do an 8 series COUPE. Thats one thing, but not a coupe/sedan over the 7.

But there really is no "revolution" here -- seriously, we don't know what "The Shock Of The New" really means today. The Italian Futurists were not just some bunch of imaginative artists who painted nice pictures -- they were anarchists, many were thugs who started fights in the streets, they were racists who admired Hitler and wanted war in Europe "“War, the Sole Cleanser of the World” -- they loved machines more than nature. The Futurists gave rise to the Fascists in Italy, they actually fought it out with the Fascists for dominance but shared many of the same "values".

So when Bangle talks about Futurism and contemporary architecture, it is generally in a very superficial context -- purely a stylistic influence -- the real revolutions happened long ago.
