It will not be the 6er coupé or M5

 

[aleks_16]

I guess he refers to the concept of tomorrow, the one debuting on China, the revival of some old ideas?.

This is the 5er series...................so nothing new yet

Auto China : World Premiere : BMW ECHO Concept.

Autocar has released the first details of the China Specific BMW Concept to be unveiled at Auto China , Beijing.

The Concept is a full Electric version of the new BMW 5er Li aimed mainly at China.

A BMW 5-series electric car concept has been unveiled on the eve of the Beijing motor show.
Based on the long-wheelbase version of the 5-series, the car, called the Echo, has been developed in a joint project between BMW and Tongji University.

Technical details are being kept under wraps until the show begins tomorrow, beyond the fact that it has an all-electric range of 100km.
The car is described as being "built in China, by China, and for China" by BMW, and sources suggest there are no plans to put it into production. Instead, an insider said BMW had entered into the co-operation with the government-backed university as a one-off test bed to gauge how advanced Chinese electric car technology is.
"The Chinese government is investing billions of dollars in electric car technology, and that is pushing development at an incredible pace," said the source. "Electric cars make so much sense for China; at present it has to import crude oil and it has a pollution problem, yet it has access to hundreds of years' worth of coal, and therefore easy electricity."
The Echo was built at BMW's Shanyang facility in China, using Chinese-sourced technology. "Chinese car makers will come up with interesting electric cars, but at present they are making bold claims without showing what they can actually do," added the source. "This is our way of finding out."

[Giannis]

Now what is that? Please, tell me it's not another high-performance SUV

 

[SCOTT27]

There is a gyro camera crane rig attached to the car.
It is something kind of what you would find on a large fire truck , it allows you to get those close angles of the wheel arch , the road or even those sweeping shots you see when the camera flies over or around the car.

What? It´s the new 1er. I´m confused, I thought it was going to be related to the luxury market. Let´s wait an hour and a half more.

So let me get this straight......nothing happened??? I wake up without a new concept??

I think it´s a matter of the change in the hour between the countries. I was told 7:30, but later 13:30, talking about Berlin hour, wich the same one than in Amsterdam and in Madrid, so, if everything goes right, in an hour and 20 minutes we should see the car.

This is due to different timezones. not long anymore. And yes, it is related to the luxury market, no 1-series or X3.
