inside source tells me it's fairly close to the production version and will be at market next year.

It is a good looking concept. Probably the best one in a few years now from BMW. I'm not sure I dig the Charager-like rear shoulder on the flanks, but overall it's nice. Looks kinda heavy.

It looks too big (size of the 7-series or bigger) to be a CLS competitor?

I wish he would turn around in the photo, so we could see if his own rear end looks like it came from a different car......

Chris Bangle is the man. A guy from Wisconsin that has got BMW's styling department by the balls. Irony. He even admitted his designs dont look great on pictures. The concept is more than likely the new 8 series.
