Huh? What are you talking about? The Concept CS will be a real car named 8-series. And it'll be a carbon copy of the current concept car. We will have a roomy 7-series, and a sporty 8-series, both with 4 doors and very big. The 8er (CS) will be nothing like the CLS. It'll be much bigger, much more luxurious, much more high tech, faster and much more expensive. Think Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide.

| Re: Preview: 2009 BMW four-door coupe ^^Oh OK, so it is bigger than the CLS -- are you sure? I am glad to read that the CS will go into production. That is exciting.

I have seen the car in real life in Frankfurt. It's freaking HUGE. Bigger than the current E65 7er. More than 5 meters long.

Yep. The car is 5.1m long ... CLS stops at 4.9m. CS is 1.37m high, CLS 1.40m. CS width: 1.98m , CLS: 1.87m So, CS is quite longer(+20cm), wider(+11cm) yet lower (-3cm) than CLS.  Last edited by EnI; 12-09-2007 at 12:24 PM. | |

Absolutely. Mind that all BMW niche models are now considered as statements. X6, F5, 1er coupe & cabrio (aka 2er), Z-cars, M-cars, 6er, and 8er won't be any different. The car will redefine the sports luxury segment. BMW guys say the only true competitor of this car will be AM Rapide when finally built. Panamera is higher, more fastback-ish ... not so sleek & elegant as 8er & Rapide. As well not as luxurious. New 8er will be BMW's strong statement of sports luxury. It will definitely boost brand image. Just like the new Z8 will. | |
