8 Series 8 Series? Article-Renderings

[Palbay]

Found this piece at Global Motors.net. Thanks! PalBay Rendered speculation: 2011 BMW 8-series | GlobalMotors.net - spy photos, concepts, videos, shows...

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.

umm so the CS is gonna be called 8er in production mode?

PS
That ps is not nearly as good as this car needs to look

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

^umm you better start realising that the production version wont look nearly as fly as the concept..
If not you will only end up very dissapointed..

 

[Zafiro]

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.

Right.....

These were "concept" cars too btw.

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.

 

[LaArtist]

^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

 

[Zafiro]

I dont like the concept version of CS, never had and never will. However the production car will be a stunner, afterall its BMW. It wont be design failure like some of you hope for.

 

[LaArtist]

I hope it will look like the concept..(but im not naive)
Cause i loved the concept when all of you guys where saying *** is this..

Word! There are no haters here, pretty much everyone on this forum loves the car.

lol @ some of the people here. CS concept and the final production version will be close to idential from the outside, minus some very small details like more normal door handles.
Centurion simply can't handle the fact that this actually is going to be a very pretty car....we can't say that with Panamera.
And Artist....do some research before shouting things based on nothing.

You don't have a clue, or you say that not having a B-pillar on a concept is small? The difference between production CS and concept CS will nowhere be as big.
Ever heard of the VW new Beetle? That was a design concept that went into production almost unchanched.....and it was indeed very hard for VW to engineer the tech in a way that it would fit the shape. And that was a cheap car.

And the 6er vs Z9 is a TERRIBLE example. The 6er was never supposed to be a copy of the Z9. It was supposed to be influenced by it. Which it does superbly. The CS on the other hand is supposed to go into production with the same dimensions, even. As a copy indeed.

Are you telling me I'm a minority?

How about you show me where you did you research..
and ile show you mine..

Ile ******* give you 10000 if its identical to the CS concept..
But i know the story..the damn car will look like the concept..with the added UGLYness...and every BMW fan will say..its identical..the only things that are changed are for pedestrian laws..and for safety..thats why it differs..

Been there.. and heard it all before..

Tell it to someone else..

Me myself..ile wait until its out to see if it looks like the concept..
Until then this discussion is stupid imo

Of course it won't be exactly the same as the concept, but at the same time, there are people that are saying it will look like the concept since it had a very good feedback. I could be wrong of course, and I know the difference between those concepts I showed and a concept a la Ocean Drive. If the only difference is going to be minor things like side mirrors and what not, I think you should pay up to Kiler, hehe.

Like Klier said, the CS vs 8er/GT7 and Z9 vs 6er is not a good comparison.

And for shts and giggles:

The proposed "8er" as they say it will be called... Will be a carbon coby identikit of the CS Concept . Even though in early 2008 BMW will invite media to drive and familar themselves with the CS Concept at a private BMW track .
Wait till you see this car move it has a definite "get out of my way" aura about it.

Ok, rolleyes to each his own, but...:

How do you know it?

And to all those saying CS concept was/is a failure (design wise)...Go see a oculist!
