I like it! well done!

I think it looks pretty cool too. Definitely a head turner. Not that i could afford it anyway.

I'd be dead in about 5 minutes with that rear view & no side mirrors. Great work tho!

I would kill for that opportunity.

Interested in knowing what the standard "fundamentals" are, and where they are missing.

Wow this is amazing

I wish I could draw....I'd draw a BMW Halo car that actually looks like a BMW.

GuyOh · 04-13-2013, 07:39 PM

meh....

MCHL · 04-13-2013, 08:23 PM

What's happening to the rear?!

bimmerjph · 04-13-2013, 10:14 PM

Other than narrow kidneys I see no relation to the 8er.

misterbeemer · 04-13-2013, 10:54 PM

Are they getting inspired by Transformers? Or running shoes? A mish-mash of lines...boring!

Envyscorpio · 04-13-2013, 11:16 PM

Good effort but I think it needs a bit more "OMG" and lower profile. Looks too tall and round. I would like to see something similar to the Z4 GT3 design into BMW's next halo car if they ever decides to compete. Low, wide with sexy hips.

Other competitors have; Audi (R8), MB (SLS), Porsche (GT2), Honda (NSX), and Nissan (GTR). Whats holding BMW back? Make a little less and get some order in the game please!

Oh and hopefully no hybrid! I want a reliable mechanical car that can last 20~30 years like the original M1.

Teemo Panda · 04-14-2013, 12:25 AM

IMO, the grille is very off

Nang Vann · 04-14-2013, 02:11 AM

Beast!

ZheHbKa · 04-14-2013, 07:36 AM

very nice work in terms of design, not sure if thats the way bmw is going but i like an idea of an M supercar thats not a hybrid

deadlyrhythm · 04-14-2013, 08:00 AM

I feel you really missed a lot of BMW's timeless appeal.

Too many character flaws in this car without the right premise - it's flat, squished, rounded and sharp. It's just a pile of ideas that doesn't mold together beautifully.

I just don't know what you were going for. Props on the huge effort and professional package that came out of it though!

Diver · 04-14-2013, 08:50 AM

Very edgy.

04-14-2013, 02:24 PM

Looks great if it was a design for some other manufacturer besides bmw

Learns to read, this project was completed in one month at BMW studio.
It is easy to talk but makes a concept with as much quality and idea.

pkimM3r · 04-14-2013, 09:19 PM

I think its great. Its a work of art and is the artists' concept.

I would like to see everyone who bashed them submit something better. Probably couldnt even draw a circle correctly. Prob not even a straight line. LOL. Lets not start with a current model and photochop it neither. That wouldnt count.

Only thing i thought was strange was the name. The emblem is strange. I like the ///m stripe time attack look. Im gonna go do that on my car NOW.
