what BMW was this????

[tomtom11]

i was driving today and i say a BMW that looked exactly like the i8 concept. does anyone know what this was? i know what the normal 1,3,5,6,7 series look like and it was not like any of those. this was in Connecticut. does anyone have any idea what this car was?

[tomtom11]

it looked kinda like the M1 concept

The M1 hommage is in the BMW Museum in Munich.

kind of a stretch, but what about an old 8 series?

[tomtom11]

no i know what the 8 series looks like. this was a brand new modern car.

hahah i didnt mean it was an m1 i was just saying what it looked like

[E36ic4Me]

I'm guessing it was an E31.

[S3RI35]

title is definitely misleading... if there was no camo, then you were looking at an older model as above.

[tomtom11]

i know what the 8 series looks like my dad used to have one. i promise thats not what it was.

[sdwtchlvr]

I love that style of car...first BMW I remember taking notice of.

[amg135i]

Pretty sure we know what this is now! Was it the Zagato Coupe?!?!?!

[bimmerjph]

Z4?

Was it a coupe, sedan, vert?

What about a 1 Series ActiveE? Was it white with circuitry looking decals on it?

[adriang]

5 series gran turismo?
Chevy volt? Lol

I hate to add on to such an ambiguous thread but...was this in the Farmington, CT area that you saw this car? Silver? This morning I saw a silver BMW and I have no idea what it was. The thing was absolutely gorgeous. I pretty much assumed it was a new 6 series and logged onto BMWUSA when I got to work. I was going to buy a new 6 series based solely on what I saw this morning. Then I saw the 6 on BMW's site...definitely not what I saw. Looks just as portly as the old 6.

Whatever I saw this morning looked incredible. Low slung, wide. I don't think I'd really describe it as looking like an i8, but it definitely looked more like an i8 than anything else BMW is making. It looked like a true performance machine, whatever it was. The i8 has bicycle tires on it, they are ridiculously narrow. It does not look anything like a performance machine as a result.

I wish I knew what it was, I would buy it in a heart beat. Looking around BMW's site I just don't see anything that it could possibly be, maybe a 6 with a really extreme body kit makeover perhaps.

Is it possible that you're thinking of the Fisker Latigo CS, a "coach built" 6er?

No, this thing was absolutely a BMW. It had roundels on it and all the "classic" modern BMW styling (character lines on the hood, kink, LED coronas that were not circular, but squared off, LED light tube tails etc). Besides that, that Fisker looks terrible in comparison to whatever I saw.

yess. what the fuck was that thing? hahah it deffinitly wasnt the new 6 series i have seen that many times. but this thing looked very modern and new but it was not any of the normal series cars. i'm glad someone else saw it since i was starting to think i was going crazy. i think they were driving around a prototype or something haha

[RupertPupkin]

Did it look like this? This is the most current view of it people have seen. Your description sounds like the i8...
