My big question here; will this engine be as troublesome as the Prince engine in the current R56 Cooper S? Will BMW deny these problems like they did with the Prince engines?

I knew it!

LED tech gives designers much more creative space ... from very narrow slits, to the ones as wide as today's headlights.

Be sure the specific designs will suit the car's character well ... being more balanced on some specific models. While some will be very futuristic.

Avant-garde styling is here to stay for BMW ... Even MINI is moving to more neo-retro from today's classic retro styling.

Agree but I would only give it 5 x The kidneys could actually work if they weren't upside-down. Right now the only thing that looks good in that car is the roundel...

Great info there Ralf! Exiting times ahead. All these cars sound like winners!!!

Actually the "wheel cover " is just a part of an extra aerodynamic kit - for a better drag coefficient.

Regarding upside-down kidneys: expect the outer part to be upturned, with conventional kidney shaped chromed frame & bars inside. As seen on GINA Concept.

The aerodynamic covers are actually a forthcoming segment for Efficient Dynamics. As these covers provide additional aerodynamic flow reducing drag and overall fuel consumption.

This is one feature that will be introduced for BMW models sometime in the near future. Additional examples will be "Aerodynamic wheel designs" designed via the Wind Tunnel. The first example was of course the Geneva 2008 Vision X5 Concept in which the wheels helped with aerodynamics of the car.

We will receive comment from both spectrums. Hate and admiration for this concept , some will believe the end of BMW is approaching because there is as yet no supersports car or hypercar to rival the (delete as applicable) But this segment is very creative it is all about sustainability and mobility for the future.
Here you will also see that BMW do not just lead in other areas of automobile segments but thanks to our original focus on ED technology , we will be the first to the market with a fully electric BMW.
BMW is not the first and certainly not the last but BMW will be the most successful company in future mobility because we have done it.

Efficient Dynamics is the future of BMW - Innovative , creative with a unique design and special individual driving character .
