Do you guys remember the BMW CS Concept? The bimmer concept that created so much hype around it and everyone assumes that all the future BMW models will import design elements from it.

The nice thing about Munich is that it gives you the opportunity to see some of the latest unreleased cars, most of the time being [...]
but unfortunately, the secrecy around it is at an all time high. Same spy photos that we have seen before keep re-appearing over and over again. I understand BMW is trying to protect their “asset” , but please, give us something to hang onto.

The German car-magazine auto-motor-und-sport published an interview with Ludwig Willisch from the BMW M GmbH today. He tells us some really interesting things, although I am not sure if I like all of them.

As if the new BMW X6 wasn’t good looking enough, AC Schnitzer, famous for doing outlandish things with BMW’s, got their hands on the X6 and turned it into a monster. They didn’t go as drastic as they usually do, suggesting that there could be more on the way for this ACS X6.
