@bmwtechal: Have you seen this car in person yet? An autocar jurno actually saw the car in the flesh and he said it was a different car than the one he saw in pics. BMWs don’t photograph well. There’s too much happening in 3d space to capture on 2d.

As far as you not understanding the car… I hope you say this because you missed all the explenations BMW offered on the web. If you’ve seen it, and still dont understand it…well…

I’ve said it before, this is the ideal car for me and my needs. You can bet there are a lot of people like me wanting the same thing.

i dont understand this car. its unattractive, and theres already and X5 and X6. where the hell does this fall? i cant believe this concept was even a concept. and i always thought a GT or grand touring or gran tourismo was usually a fast “car” that was usually a 2 seater with enough room to carry a suitcase. no other car company puts a GT badge on an SUV. its just a 5series wagon basically. i just dont understand why.

Nice pics.

I still hate those LED arrays in the headlamps (ever since the E90 redesign). If they are going with all-LED lamps, what will that look like? Arranged in a ring, perhaps? But a grid arrangement… ugh… lazy.

@tony:

Or they look like BMW Concept CS lights.

I actually think that a smaller 3 series/1 series GT could sell nicely. One thing I learned as a Bimmer fan was to try and be open-minded about things.

You can talk all you want. The front still looks like a Volvo to me. The e46 and e39 look more agile than their successors. I think the x6 looks cool; like a paris-dakar car, and that the GT as a concept (SUV without being an SUV) is sound. But loose the Volvo styling please.
Adriaan! waar ben je mee bezig man!
