Concept BMW Concept Skytop

I would see it as the 8er replacement. Evolutionary design inside and out.

Nah, if the 8 Series happens, expect Neue Klasse design. For now, ain't no new 8 Series approved.

If you squint it looks like an Australian “ute” pick up.
It’ll be popular in OZ then.

Crazy good looking

Nah - does nothing for me. I can see the appeal for some but it's no beverage of my choice.

It looks good, but yet dated somehow.
I would see it as an answer to the discontinued S-Coupe years ago.

I have the feeling that it was a frozen project for years but after XM and 8er flops they took it out the closet for promo purposes.

I don't think photos like these do it justice. I'm not a big fan of how they resolve the roof and the pillar on the car, but it does look a lot better in the metal. Certainly longer and wider than these particular photos suggest.

I hate this 'colour' though. It really needs a deep red or blue in my humble opinion.

San Marino Blue, aventurin red.

BTW, speaking of special editions of the 8er, I would’ve loved to see an Alpina B8 as a simple Coupé or Convertible.
2 colors Alpina Green or Alpina Blue with silver or gold stripes, beige or black interior and multispoke wheels.
As a last hurrah for the brand.

I don’t like the current lineup ( no 2 door Coupé or convertibles).

I mean the Alpina lineup, sorry If it was a bit misunderstanding.

How does the roof the skytop operate?

It's ugly in those shots.

"Awkward" rather than outright "ugly" IMHO.

But whatever, the Skytop represents more a swansong rather than a precursor. A wave "Bye, Bye" to a soon outgoing BMW design paradigm. It is the soon to be presented NKL vehicles that will give us a very clear indication of where BMW is going. I'm pretty excited about that as well.

 

[SCOTT27]

Those wheels would rock on an i7.
