Re: Spied: BMW prototype undisguised?

Like it from the windscreen back. The front is too busy. Something doesnt look real but I cant put my finger on it.
I doubt they will resurect M1 as aname as they now have a 1-series.

As they said in the movie 'The Island'; "This is an 09 Caddy, 750 hp, $500,000 car"



But yeah, Cadillac really needs the Cien.



Also:
Lexus in 'Minority Report'
Audi in 'iRobot'
Cadillac in 'The Island'


Could we get this BMW in a futuristic movie.

Photochop. Seems partially based on a Ford Mustang!

Re: Spied: BMW prototype undisguised?

it doesn't look like rendering to me, but since it looks nothing like the one from that deleganze (or whatever "villa" it was) i'd say photoshopped.

oh and ..

Re: Spied: BMW prototype undisguised?

Whatever it is, it looks lame. I mean, it's supposedly this supercar and yet it's got your typical tired, uglier than ever BMW styling cues all over what looks like an updated Lotus/300ZX mix. I don't like it one bit.

I agree...HAD Cien been put into production, Cadillac would OWN this portion of the market.....even now it does not look dated. But that is GM's way...wow people with remarkable concepts, get them in a lather while garnering accolades from car mags and sites, then NOT build them...then whine and wonder aloud about loss of market share.

Re: Spied: BMW prototype undisguised?

Its a rendering and a very realistic looking one at that. if you look at the left front fender and the left side the light on the left side and the little pink square looking thing in front of the headlight are dead giveaways. Still compared to the half baked renderings that i see in some automotive magazines this one looks very convincing and i hope BMW will build something similar to the M1 it would give some healthy competition to the R8
