How many CS prototypes are in existence?

. repost

Hussein did you see it IRL during your BMW internship ?

Yup
I could get very close to it and touch it.. are you all jelous now?
It was a presentation for the employees of the design sudio, moderated by Bangle and van Hooydonk. They talked about the design and the features of the car, then we were allowed to get to the car and take a closer look at it.
since that moment I've been loving this car more than ever. And every negative thought I had when i saw the pictures for the first time were blown away! The car looked perfect IRL.

That's what i wanted to hear, is it really as long as it seems to be ? What do you think of the interior ?

The car was huge. Extremely long, extremely wide and extremely low, what do you need more to make a car look hot? nothing!

The interior was very nice, unfortunately we were'nt allowed to sit in it (undestandable with the amoun of people surrounding the car!) but they made a very qualitative impression on me. and the woven metal that was replacing wood did look very classy and elegant.

Partially clumsy driver at Dubai Auto Show accidentally backed a CS into an ugly 612. Not much happened except that the bimmer got minor scratches of white paint on the bumper.

The brake light looks venomous. I must as I'm a MB fanatic and don't want to like this car, I can't resist it.

^^I love it too.

I would love to say that I would expect MB to match it with something equally amazing ......but I honestly am not convinced they have quite the same clarity of vision for the future of Mercedes as BMW has for their products.

BMW seems to be much more confident about what it is all about right now ......but that could change in time.

There are a few years left until this car will stand on show room floors, and when it makes it debut there will be other cars like the second generation CLS, Rapide and Audi A7.

This might turn out to be the best looking one if BMW doesn't tone down on the flame surfacing which is what makes the car look so striking.

Let me point out that this prototype the "Concept CS" costs a lot more than the Ferrari and Munich are not going to be overly ecstatic over the minor damage on their prototype. The paint itself is several hundred thousand euros alone. And that someone within BMW middle east division will have some explaining to do. This is not something that can be remedied with a touch up stick.
