BMW X Coupe Concept

X coupe concept: Unique Concept in a Bold Design

The X coupe very deliberately plays the role of automotive iconoclast. It does not shy away from what might be considered paradoxical or contradictory: a coupe that can go off-road... a sports coupe with a diesel engine... asymmetries on its exterior and interior. From a pure styling standpoint, the X coupe is dramatically different from anything BMW has ever created and hints at future BMW design.
The X coupe's bold look is a study in tension that is heightened by the asymmetrical design. This styling concept is also seen in the interior where the driver's "work space" is clearly delineated from the passenger's space. A variety of textures, including flexible surfaces, combine with solid aluminum switches and levers to create and look and feel unlike anything else.
The drivetrain is equally unique with a full-time all-wheel drive system from the X5, 20-inch wheels and tires, and a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbodiesel engine.

Wow - that is horrid. I doubt it will go into production - but if it does - it will probably look nothing like this. And it's diesel?

It was a styling exercise, it was never destined for production and it never will be, besides that it's a few years old, it's the beginning of Bangle's BMW's.

That thing is waaaaaay old. Look at the pic, its dated 2001. It was one of the first concept cars to show the direction Bangle and his team were going to try and take things. Obviously, only certain elements were used on certain cars. But, you can see them. Old news, and not a real car. Just a design study.

That's kinda wierd. I haven't been particularly fond of the new stylings the BMWs have anyway. I liked the older ones.
