 Will all future BMW models be based on the CS concept?



(Copying this post over here as not all are probably reading the 6-Series forum)

Today I've browsed the hardcopy of the current German Auto Motor und Sport car magazine. One of the articles featured the look of the next generation of most BMW models which basically would all be based on the CS concept! There were some renderings of the next 3-Series, 6-Series (with 2 doors!) and an interesting "shooting brake" concept of a Z4 Coupe successor.
Here's the probably only picture of that article available on the Internet so far - it shows what the next 3-Series is supposed to look like in 2012:



All those renderings included most design elements of the CS: The front and tail lights, the big kidney grille, the scoops under the headlights and (except the 3er above) that kink in the rear fender.

Personally I hope that the final design of all models will keep some series-based 'personality'. Because if BMW starts making all models look almost the same with a big front grille... they'd just copy what Audi has started 1-2 years ago...

That big grille is why I didn't buy another Audi. UUUUUGly!
Audi's grill design is as ugly as it gets. They have much better interiors than current BMW, but that grill -- OMG, yuck.

Great article. Thanks for posting it.

Thoughts:

The new M3 is two .

The new 8-Series has an ugly nose/grills. Reminds me of the Subaru Tribeca's flying vagina face. The rest of it is good though.

The E60 5-Series is still a .

The 1 series looks good only in hatchback and convertible. BMW should bring the hatch to the states. Mazda's 3 hatch is very popular and the best looking hatch out there today.

Quite frankly, I'd be surprised if the grill wasn't that big.

You're calling the CS Concept's grill hideous? They've already overdone it a bit, don't you think? The damn grill practically doubled in size when going from E46 to E90. When you look at the E90 next to its predecessors, the grill looks almost obnoxious by comparison.

I don't mind the body styling on the CS, but the front end is terrible.

Note the progression thus far:
