BMW Goes Cab Forward?

WTF! The artist that did these “interpretations” better have just fallen off the bar stool before he did these renderings. I sure hope BMW doesn’t take this route. A crossover is a sure thing these days and that’s fine, but not one that looks like this. For BMW to go cab forward would ruin all of there history in having a great proportioned dash to axle.

I have faith in them though just like they stole my heart with the Z4 coupe I am sure they can do it again with this vehicle. It won’t be out until 2010 at the earliest and will take the name F3…whatever. Maybe by then car design will take a dramatic shift following the Honda Civic and these interpretations will look great. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
