Introducing the BMW Concept Skytop

[M3/4/8]

I love it. Looks like a 635csi, a z8, and a M8 Vert disappeared…and got BUSY.

Obviously biased as a current M8 owner, but I hope this means BMW won’t abandon the luxo coupe segment. It’s only the best looking BMW made.

Love it

[BimmerFix]

I like it

Now make it in ///M form

Rear giving me some aston martin vibes but nice

A toned down i8 with some old school 6 and 8 series. I like it. I see this as an affordable base model drop top ev. Likely scalable to big power and aggressive body package.

New 6 confirmed after 2028?

Yep, agree. I was glad to see this considering all the new BMW unveils in the last few years! Looks like a solid concept and will be fun to own and drive, I am sure. A proper instrument cluster leather panel, buttons and ID7 is also pleasing to see rather than a big freaking ipad. And a solid V8. Yumm.

Well, colour me surprised. There is someone at BMW who knows how to make a nice design after all! This is a very clean concept, ‘stylistic minimalism’ you could say. This is more like it. It’s not perfect, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction and better than any other concept they’ve put out in a long time.

It looks too conservative. It’s like audi and Mercedes. Nothing fresh , nothing bald like bmw has used us with.

[MADBMWX5MC]

Yup, not my thing.

From C&D:

“If the board approves the proposal, the first of no more than 50 items (although one source suggested 100) should be completed at the new coachbuilding wing of the automaker's Dingolfing factory late next year. The base price is rumored to be the equivalent of $542,000, which isn't unreasonable considering the M8 cabriolet donor car currently lists at more than $207,000 before options.”

That’s because the original 8 and 6 series are nicer to look at than any of their modern cousins. The 8 series had bits of M1 and the 6 series continued the shark design from the 3.0

Fugly

[ZedVier]

Love it. I’ll get on the waiting list for this one.

[zamboni]

At least the design still had the tradition kidney grille.

They’re only making 50 or 100 of these at $500k+.

Or will it end up being a production car?

[TractionControlDelete]

Surprised it’s not electric. Rather see a second generation of the i8 with the ///M V8 hybrid.

[KoenG]

Not a fan.

This is a heavy weight GT car while BMW was all about vehicle dynamics and crispness and being dexterous. Maybe they try to absorb the RR brand since this car more looks like some kind of RR phantom drophead evolution to me?

The M8 on which it's build is more desirable to me.

I like the interior compared to the more recent tablet with wheels approach.
