I wonder if all other car manufacturers are this secretive about their new models?

They are, but BMW is sooo Premium and above most brands, so the "pre marketing"
is a necessitate.

This PAS or GT or wtf-model is a opening for the new F10 series, I think.

Let us see and hear more tomorrow...

what i hate though is that every time the wheel arch is increasing and even 18 size tyres looks tiny ... to have a nice looking car you would need 20 inch size tyres - which will make car mor stiff and it will cost much more ....

"Perhaps the greatest factor that gives the image some credibility is the fact that BMW is scheduled to preview the new Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS) to European journalists on February 11, meaning an official release of pictures could come as soon as tomorrow."


What a lot of crap...

Is this worldcarfans.com some teen site or what? :thumbsdown:

Thanks Robert J!

The interior looks like a mix of current X5 and the new 7-series and looks exclusive. Certainly a step forward.

I suppose they put those covers over the seats just to keep the interior fresh for the show in a couple of weeks? Remids me of the Peugeot 205 Roland Garros from the 80's! Yike.

The design is OK, but I cannot realy see this car as a GT.

More pictures here, some of them from BMW:
