Re: 8 Series? Article-Renderings

Nah... Cheap renders that mix F01 press photos with the look of the CS Concept. Scott said that the production Cs would be a carbon copy of the Concept, and this is not.

I agree. Supposed to be CS carbon copy. We don't need a rendering, just look at CS concept pics.

Re: 8 Series? Article-Renderings

I'm not worried about the final design. I know BMW wont screw it up if the car comes a reality.

Exactly. Sometimes it seems like BMW fans are talking about the CS as if it's a production car and even put it up against other near production ready four door coupes. As much as I love the CS, the production car will in no way look at dramatic and gorgeous.

It's time to wake up guys. The CS is just a concept like the Ocean Drive, there's a heck alot of icing on the CS that will be whiped off for the production car. Just look at the BMW 6-series vs the Z9 Concept. They are superb examples.

Re: 8 Series? Article-Renderings

^^^
Those are not real concepts. They are production ready cars with some slight make-up i.e production ready concept. The CS on the other hand is a pure concept sporting no engine under the hood and designed with no energy held back for regulations and other rational reasons. It's a full blooded concept and the X6 and Z4 concepts aren't, they are more like previews of a production car.

Re: 8 Series? Article-Renderings

^HAHAHHAH
Are you serious?
Dont you know that the production cars where READY when these pointless concept cars where made..
And IF that was the case with the CS we would have seen it ON the road today...
not like in 1 year or more
