Rumor: BMW's Sustainable Sports Car Concept coming to Frankfurt '09

[rollo]

Come one Rurella. Is the CM still bothering you. I think you take Eni/Scott a little bit to serious. Just let it go buddy, waste your energy on something else

Venting is all done regarding the CM (for now), especially since sustainable is now spelled correctly in the title of this thread.

I could waste my energy on your "come one" instead of come on though......

Just kidding buddy.

I hope BMW's legacy "DNA" is present in these concepts.

3 cylinder Turbo + Hybrid..... Very interesting.

"BMW’s new environmentally friendly show stopper"

"....a stunning four-door coupé"

"BMW’s green stunner"

Hyyyype!!!

This is also interesting....bye bye Isetta?!?!!

In a related story, BMW has confirmed an electric city car is coming, following in the wheel tracks of 1994’s Z13 concept. But bosses have scotched rumours that this will resurrect the Isetta name. Instead, they say it will be a BMW, with a new badge similar to the firm’s M cars – it could be called E or EV. A Samsung and Bosch joint venture will supply the car’s lithium-ion batteries. Sales are due to start in 2014.

No more building cars, BMW now are "the creators of emotion". Here's some emotion: JOY better be an acronym for something really cool, otherwise it sucks big time!

What the hell are they smoking in those Marketing meetings?

Well, it is, look at the last few seconds, that is one strange rear light That transformers study might not be that far fetched, after all...

 

[braaf]

Cant wait.

if that was the car then we know it wont look like that once its been released. Its too extreme. I hope its not another Gina failure, meaning just show no go.

 

[EnI]

Can I politely suggest someone to stick something somewhere?

With all due respect ...

The Board Members for marketing management - Possibly the finest Cuban cigars?
The next step down in marketing , promotions and communications? usually marlboro? But I gave up smoking over a year now.

Joy is evident in any BMW that is the message we adhere to spread .
BMW is not specifically limited to one car but every car has the unique feeling of being totally connected to the driver.
A BMW is a BMW whether we do a Gran Turismo, diesel , turbo or even a Hybrid. The BMW symbol of sheer driving pleasure will always be evident.

Next year with the 5er we will be a bit more aggressive especially as many people have asked "when are we going to fight back against the manufacturers who have interpreted the BMW image in their marketing?"
The F10 will spearhead this approach and we will be brutal. and brutally honest.

But regarding the concept? It is not what you think it is? BMW's answer to the R8 because there is only one Audi R8. A BMW of this segment would be an interpretation of another brand and true BMW enthusiasts know that we do not do interpretations.

Oh, I hope you're not F__king around because you know people on this board will go ape-shit crazy if BMW doesn't deliver. LOL

this only tells that you didn't understand GINA at all

GINA was a statement
cars don't need to be static designs
a car can be an organic structure

and this statement is going to inspire engineers and designers for the next couple of decades
i still take my hat off for bmw that they allowed young people(like myself) to have a look at GINA

I quess it s just an other future concept. If i see the movie. It just an other vehicle we can t actually buy.

I like to see ///M car which i can enjoy a drivers machine. Not an other concept not an other heavy cruise ship etc. A CSL of 1200kg a thru image maker like bmw had in DTM times.

Something my heartbeat get raised off Something were i jump into my trousers and shirt to get early out of bed to get first in line at the bmw dealer. Like the E46 CSL was. I have not seen bmw car lately which got me exited to buy. I want a car were i have the folder under my pillow just to watch it every night to wait on the real thing.

If i was a porsche enthusiast i had the GT3 folder under my pillow but i don t wanna VW.

 

[Sunny]

Yea, screw it, if it is just another futuristic concept that won't see production.
