This is not the BMW eco concept going to the Frankfurt motor show, but a five-year-old design study, according to the company.

A spokesman for BMW this morning told Autocar that it is a model being moved from the central design facility.



BMW eco-concept for Frankfurt

The car is one of many studies made to explore different design directions and aerodynamics.

BMW is planning to reveal an environmental sports car concept at the Frankfurt show.

The EfficientDynamics Vision is designed to show how efficient a performance car can be and will feature eco innovations in the drivetrain and materials.

This suggests it could use aluminium or even fabric, as seen in the previous Gina concept car.

It is likely to feature intelligent aerodynamic systems that could one day find their way on to BMW road cars.

Expect the concept to be powered by either a hybrid powerplant, which could be a diesel, or an all-electric motor.

THANKS for the info Autocar!
Lots of people here have no clue what this concept is all about.

I was too excited when I found this pic yesterday and wanted to post it ASAP. On a second look, I also think that it looks fake, e.g. there's no Hofmeister-Knick in the rear door window, etc.

X1,X3,X5,X6?

Maybe an X4?

What is BMW doing?

if opinions like those had a right to exist, companies like Porsche wouldn't...

It could be the new 5 Series. If it's the new 5 then the front bumper will pass for day-to-day aerodynamic demands getting to the office. I imagine the openings on the bumper will look similar to the X5 M and the X6 M if this chassis gets the M5 treatment.

This makes a bit more sense. Also explains the fake brakes, the wheels, and the fact they have plastic taped over it to hide it, rather than a proper cover. Perhaps this was the study for an X4...

look at the gap of the fender and tires....
wonder what it will look like if it slammed

[arkitectonix]

Did anyone else notice that there are no side-mirrors?

[srim3]

Anyone has seen the actual pictures of the the car shown above, displayed at the Frankfurt motor show? Can you please post them?

[Frosty]

bump...... what was this then? A predecessor to the X6 ??

[TiChello]

It has a the rear of a series-6 , a shrunk body of an X6, the front of a mustang + mix with the upcoming x4 front ... pretty cool car ... now let me see if i can find a couple thousands in my piggy bank to purchase this mothaf#%ka when it comes out ...
