BMW Z9

Hey everyone, i came upon this on left lane. Looks to be a bimmer for sure.. I think. Well if u take a look at the rims, those rims are the ones for the 3 series sedan..

I'm a firm believer that this is not from BMW.

They wouldn't blow off all that camo to prevent people from knowing it was a BMW with 3 series rims.

Either that is a Jaguar XKR convertable testing mule...or what i believe to be the next generation Z8...it doesn't look quite how the Preview drawing from automobile magazine looked though..and the next Z8 is supposed to be a hardtop convertable. *It's also rumored that BMW might equip the Z8 with a 6.3 litre v-12...that would be awesome :-) Anyways...i thought the "z9" was originally the moniker for Chris Bangle's prototype 6 series??

the z9 is supposed to be bmws next flagship, they're finally bringing back the "supercar" its either going to be called the z9 or z10, from the looks of those pics, the wheels make it look like a bmw, but theres no kidneys

If you look closely at the grill, it looks like the kidneys would fit with two little teeth type things on the top and bottom at the middle. Who knows but I sure hope its the next z9/10

Doesn't look at all like a bimmer to me.. hard tell though with all that camo it could be almost anything.

Agree with you on that. That thing is ugly.
