The BMW Concept Touring Coupe: A timeless symbol of freedom on four wheels

mikerx5 · 05-19-2023, 07:28 PM

Havent seen a shooting brake in a while - love the back, front looks vanilla. This would be great as a real M with huge horsepower like a Ferrari FF

TEGRITY · 05-19-2023, 07:59 PM

I see more buttons than normal with ID8 incl climate controls. Thats welcoming!

It’s cool but has zero practicality for someone like myself. Hopefully it comes to production and stays close to this concept though.

Trunk is flat, no barrier to lift luggage over - just slide in and out - how much more practicality do you need???? 😁

Two more doors and a back seat. I have two kids I have to haul to and from school everyday. 🤷🏻&zwj;♂️

If they had thrown a manual on this it would have set the internet on fire.

Z3 3.0 Coupe owner here - nothing wrong with a wide ass.

Look....they can make a proper grill!

Doesn’t that look like ID7. It’s not one big screen like ID8, looks like two separate ones to me.

F87LUV · 05-19-2023, 09:29 PM

Sign me up! Maybe this is a potential final send off for the Z4.

scflaw · 05-19-2023, 09:32 PM

Holy, this thing is gorgeous... If they made a M version of this, my savings is done for.

You maybe right. When I zoom in, it does look like ID7 with a proper instrument cluster as well. This is good!

ZeD4Mr · 05-19-2023, 09:51 PM

I will buy this (if available) and start making parts for it..

Y'all know I can..

mecheng77 · 05-19-2023, 09:56 PM

I like the practicality of the hatch, stretch it a bit to add two rear seats. I like the overall look and idea

kgelfen360 · 05-19-2023, 10:18 PM

Reminds me of Panamera

They need to build this exactly as it is, it’s gorgeous.
Looks production ready too, nothing outrageous or too concept car like, it’s definitely doable.
This is true BMW European design, thought they’d forgotten how to do this.
Welcome back BMW, it’s been a while 👍. Where do I sign up…

Johnathanz32 · 05-19-2023, 11:17 PM

I'd buy the hell out of this, wonder what the weight would be? Shit i mite even sell the g82 for it. It would come with the gen3 b58 probably which can make power with minor upgrades. A M version would be nice should of put this out before the g87 m2.

chrisk03 · 05-19-2023, 11:24 PM

BMW will probably not produce this, unfortunately, but thank God it has a normal front fascia and an interior without one long iPad touchscreen crap. I personally think it looks damn good. 👍

Sedan_Clan · 05-20-2023, 12:21 AM

It’s not a car I would ever be interested in buying, but it’s nice to see these one-off’s paraded around for BMW fans.

These are the original 2005 Z4 concept coupe pictures. It was also very close to production-ready with standard mirrors, center console/controls/steering wheel, headlights, etc. Only difference was minor interior trim.

This new concept is VERY close to the 2019-2023 Z4.

Would be shocked if it’s not produced. Will it come to the USA? We’ll see, but it would go a long way to appeasing BMW enthusiasts.

Normal car companies don’t make niche products like this, but I have a feeling BMW is just crazy enough to do it!!!

FC05 · 05-20-2023, 12:51 AM

I’d love to see this into production however I doubt it will happen given that BMW already have M2 coupe,a two seater hatch/coupe/touring already proven non profitable in both early Z3 and Z4 coupe.
Anyway, I still think BMW should be brave and make this bc my e36/8 M coupe is such a lovely piece of art and now a cult classic.
