I like the profile but the front end needs work.

Cool idea.

Beltline is a little goofy/too high.



This pic makes the concept massive if the people are to scale, unless the person in the bottom pic is a midget (little person).

The front end reminds me of the Nissan IDx concept. I like the idea, but the end result isnt 100% especially the front end.

If BMW was to produce something like this, it would have to be B pillar-less. I'm very surprised the concept even has a B pillar.

looks cool, but I would go with steeper windshield, less front over hangs and push the front wheels forward for more side air venting. I'd also let the front wheel arches have more sweeped look like the original. As others have mentioned, the belt line is kind of high.

I suspect most people like the front end of the 3.0CS more than the earlier 2000CS. The photos and drawings in post #1 confuse the two a wee bit.

Not feeling the front at all.
