First thing that came to mind was the Dodge Charger. The concept is really emphasizing the front grill a la Audi and DaimlerChrylser.

Please, please BMW do not make that front grill!!! It is Fugly - like Hannibal Lecter with the mask!
Anyone else notice how small the trunk lid is. I dont golf but if I did there is no way a set will go through that little ass trunk lid

I hope this is one concept that is changed drastically before it goes into production. The side profile looks awesome, but that front and ass needs to be changed. If you go through all the pictures, you can see what seems to be a foam model with 128 wheels, which works with the body lines as well.

I disagree, love it and more importantly excited about the possible direction this might lead BMW...Sport, Sport and more Sport as opposed to MB, who continue to roll-out their vague, boring product. Plus it blows the Panarama away. The new Porsche looks more vintage Rover than new-age German engineering.
Someone posted it looks like a Charger, I see more Quattroporte, but a revised trimmed down version without the Fat.
The trunklid seems like a problem but also appears rectifiable with the surrounding space not utilized in the concept.
If the styling cues are used in the new 7, as hinted in the article, I'll stronly consider stepping up in that direction for the first time.

Yea it definitly looks like a dodge charger. But im with BMW for making some radical designs like when they introduced the 7 back then when everyone was scared to try something new.
