Concept Car: BMW 225ci
 

Maybe this would help bring the Bangle haters back...it was designed by the BMW DesignworksUSA team.

very much digging the old James Bond Aston Martin look to the vehicle...

Not my style, but, whatever floats your boat.

Not bad at all! Very distinctive looking, except for the taillights which look like they were taken directly from an Acura RSX.

I love red interiors, too. Anyone else remember when you could get an interior in something besides gray or tan?

Chris Bangle still deserves to be shot for ruining the 7-series and then carrying over those horrid styling cues to the 5 and 6, though. I'd take a mid-late 90s 7-series over a brand new one hands down.

Holy shit that's ugly. It looks like a real car suffering some sort of birth defect.

I'd drive it, but i wouldnt pay what they'd want for it. :D.

We shall see how this car plays out. I like the z4/3 better personally.

looks kinda nice, but 1 thing i hate incars above all others is red leather interiors. i think that car would look infinately better in any color other than red...or maybe yellow or orange as well..

Whats up with the red interior? That's the only thing really throwing me off

I like the lack of a b-pillar. A neighbor had a very clean old mercedes, had no b-billar and it looked awesome with the windows rolled down.

I like it, but man, if you're gonna put out a picture of your car design, at least finish it BMW. Look at the last pic. Its just a big red sea for the interior. Wise up man

I'd buy it. :thumbsup:

Elwood, it ws probably just a preview....or maybe a leak

it looks like an acura tsx/rsx from the back and a jaguar from the front....

I'd be interested to see how the door opens with that one big window.

it's not mine stile

exactly what i was thinking when i saw that 3rd pic.

any idea on the expected price?? i wouldn´t mind owning that one

I suppose that is difficult to say .. it is only a concept car..

On the other hand, this "James Bond look" does not exactly look cheapish :)

ehh thats wierd their new concept cars suck

LOL, a cheap BMW, that's a good one.

I love the new Z4, 5, 6, and 7 BMW, but this I think is ugly!

It looks like an old Bavaria Model mated with a more prestigious Aston Martin to give it a cool 60's look.

i presonally love bmws wiht a passion, but does the rear of that car remind you a little of the Acura RSX? ... just a little bit....

yea.. looks like i agree with Ducati999, but i don't see the jaguar characteristics in the front. In what way does it remind you of that?
