Concept BMW Concept Skytop

[hoffmeister_fan]

I like it a lot, but it really doesn't advance the design language.

It just looks like an outlier with no connection within the line-up both current, past, or short-medium term future. I think this would have been an ideal candidate for a bespoke Alpina since that was the plan when BMW fully acquired Alpina: produce bespoke bodies over existing platforms.

Production. One of Fifty.
BMW SkyTop.

Don’t worry if you didn’t have the exclusivity to purchase the Skytop.
Everyone can still own a SkyTop.
Albeit in 1/18 Scale.

@SCOTT27 What is the production name for Skytop? Is it simply G15 Skytop (similar to G82 3.0CSL)? Or is it rebranded to a 8-series in a way?

G15 Skytop

I would have thought F91 Skytop if they're going down that route - and I don't see why they wouldn't.

I have never seen a platform code announced. I can only presume that it’s similar to the G82 3.0 CSL?

Are they all in this boring color combination or did people have some choice? Or did they have a lot of choice like they should have for this price.

Any colour and any specification choice you want as long as it’s Floating Sunrise Silver.

Damn that's sad man. Depressing combination, and Individual has so much on offer....

Interesting how this was - I believe - the first use of the horizontal slats in the kidneys on a premium (i.e. non-M) car.

 

[Design FIRST]

The natural daylight presents some interesting juxtapositioning of verious bodymetal surface elements. Flattering ? I can't really say. An eyesore or two ? Maybe. The cleft at the base of the A-pillar and its incongruency with the hood shutline, for example. But that is probably an assembly necessity and the particular angle of the shot overemphasizes it. Petty peeve on my part. Darker colors may serve it well indeed.

Not available apparently

Come on, it looks like a photo taken from Artemis II.

Floating Sunstone Maroon.
