German Car Zone

I seriously doubt it. This design may just be reserved for the CS concept only, b/c it will stand as the flagship model and therefore must clearly stand out from the rest. The latter years will produce similarities I am sure, but not this.

The chop is really handsome, if it turns like that (which seems probable) it will be a really interesting product.
Of course, neither 2009 nor CLS-targetting...

I don't like the big eyelids though.
And the front seems too unprotected, a bit like Audi or Peugeot...Hope you/the car next to yours don't bump it while parking or it will cost you $$$$$.

I think BMW will reduce the big [] [] and protect them a bit better in the production car, other than that I think it could look like that. Which means beautiful.

I wish one of our insiders answer my one and only question, will the rear flared wheel arch (or what its called) make it into production of the next 7er ? I mean the soulder line that discontinues and raises a little above the rear wheel. I really like it and think it is a nice touch in future BMWs. Unfortunetly I asked this question many times before but no precise answer yet

Rendered Speculation: BMW 8 Series

The Mercedes CLS four door coupe is currently fighting a solo battle with no competition - but now is the time for Daimler to be looking over their shoulders. Preparation is well under way by their German competitors with the Audi A7, Volkswagen Passat Coupe, Porsche Panamera and now we bring you an artists interpretation of the BMW four door coupe which will probably be badged as the 8 series.

The All New BMW 8 series styling will be based on the CS concept with the platform to come from the 7 series or even possibly the 6 series.
The original 8 series was produced between 1989 and 1999 and was powered by a V8 and a V12 engine. We expect this trend to continue with the new model set to use the 438hp 6.0-liter V-12 engine from the 760i and 4.8-liter V8 from the 750i.








If I am mr. Lehmann, I will kill myself. This guy is really stupid.

Wow! Didn't see that side profile...

Call me crazy but that thing from the side actually looks good!

The way the rear lights "ledge" on the body work and sweep round the car are very reminiscent of the rear of the F10 5er.

The proposed "8er" as they say it will be called... Will be a carbon coby identikit of the CS Concept . Even though in early 2008 BMW will invite media to drive and familar themselves with the CS Concept at a private BMW track .
Wait till you see this car move it has a definite "get out of my way" aura about it.

Previews like this always indicate that it is time to whet more of the public's attitude to the CS and are therefore we are looking for as much debate as possible to help how the car will develop and how we market it.
As I have said before "Debate equals maximum publicity"

Milk mustache grill looks outdated. Its supposed to have CS style grill.

That instantly reminds me of the Citroen C6. I don't like it because of that.

BTW, why is it that all these freaking automobile sites keep reporting that the next 7er, X6, 5er, etc will all have the current 4.8 V8???? Are they ALL that stupid and clueless?

And how it really will be called, Scott?
