Pretty cool. Too bad it's just a pipedream. Also apparently the next 6 series is supposed to be a 911 fighter?? We'll see about that...

Well, the current 911 isn't much smaller than a 6 series....

Here's what I think a BMW line-up should look like:

1-series: Hatchback, don't care that it's FF, probably Euro only still.
2-series: Pretty much the same as it is, but maybe a bit more "Coupe-y"?
3-series: Sedan, Coupe, Convertible, Wagon/Tourer. Drop the 3GT, 4, and 4GC. M3 version of each body style except wagon.
5-series: drop the GT. M5 obv's. Touring version please.
6-series: Sleeker, faster, but still a Grand Tourer, drop the GC. M6.
7-series: As is, maybe turn the 6 GC into a 7 GC type to go against the CLS. Make an M7!
X-series: X3, X5, X7. Get rid of the X1 (3 wagon is good enough), X4 and X6.
Z-series: Z3 Conv./Coupe: Boxster/Cayman Fighter, Z8: 911 fighter (maybe the M-Version can get up AMG GT levels)

M cars should me more hardcore. Wide and light. The top level base models are too close to M's anyway.

Why'd they misspell "homage?"

German Spelling. I guess it's close enough to not use an English version. (Or is it also acceptable in English?)

It's a French word in both cases. :p

It's funny how all the concepts are way wider than the originals.

Turbo is a French word, but still they spell it 'obrut'.

Must be a German thing.

It's hideous. Would not buy.
