EXCLUSIVE REVIEW: BMW Concept Skytop

[@bigprocrastinator]

Some of the best BMW design I've seen in years. Elegant yet athletic without looking disjointed.

[@cassokon]

Too bad it will look completely different when it's actually in production

[@bmwblog]

Not really, this is it

[@cassokon]

@@bmwblog It literally says "Concept"

[@AaronHope_Sow]

This car looks incredible! Gorgeous!!! They should absolutely produce this it would sell like hotcakes. Finally a GOOD LOOKING DESIGN from BMW. It's been too long! Would love to see this design filter down to the other forthcoming models.

[@hassanger8128]

BMW will build 50 units of this 8-series-based targa-top crowd stopper and sell them at half a million dollars apiece. All units are sold out

[@yddmatt]

@@hassanger8128you know this how?

[@andyhughes1776]

Easy cowboy, by the time it makes it to production, it will not look nearly as good as this concept.

[@gaara4667]

They have been making good looking cars. You’re simply the minority as their cars are everywhere on the road. More than Audi, Benz and even Porsche.

[@buzzfunk]

Id buy it like RIGHT NOW!

[@nicholasstocker8864]

Wait a minute? Did BMW make a car that’s… *…PRETTY!?*

[@messengersofmessiahpastorn7518]

true-that!😅

[@phantombru]

Finally a BMW that is classy

[@AttlasAllux]

🤫 No no no! It's not "pretty" it's umm... "embodying the tradition of BMW's unique design pedigree...performance-oriented and POLARIZING" (phew!... heaven forbid das Germans catch wind of your "pretty" comment, realize they've gone off brand, and ugly-up the production version)

[@AuntieWokery]

one letter and one number reply to that question..... i8 way better looking. not as nice sounding or classy though......but way prettier.

[@harryvisser5843]

Unfortunately it'll be priced such that only .00001% of the public can afford it.

[@63humanbeing]

Best looking new BMW in a very longtime

[@serz1885]

looks like concept of audi tt from late 90s.

[@RH191UD]

And, we’re back. Well done BMW. This is stunning. You couldn’t mistake this for any other manufacturer. It borrows heavily from the past. I really hope some of this design trickles out to their other vehicles. The front and rear look so clean and unmistakably BMW.

[@bmwblog]

I don't think this will trickle down to other cars

[@AccountantByDay553]

[@martinodendaal1703]

Absolutely breathtaking design. I actually looks like a BMW.... No split headlights, no oversized grille..... It is just WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@yaroslavbauer8137]

Unbelievably beautiful! BMW, please, do your every car according to this design style! No huge grills, no ugly headlights or any other strange elements - just like this! Really hope that new generation 8-Series will be based on this concept. Thank you, BMW Blog! ❤

[@deepakkn9643]

sorry to burst your bubble , its otherway around . concept is based on current 8 series

[@DanniV8]

This is simply stunning! Completely out of character with what BMW has been doing lately. I really hope this is a sign of good things to come

[@Tomoyo0827]

finally bmw design is back

[@ynothump2566]

PLEASE PRODUCE THIS AS IT IS BMW THE WHOLE CAR WORLD IS BEGGING YOU ❤

[@richardike2342]

This is quite possibly the best looking BMW ever designed. I am so glad BMW has gone back to the Shark-nose design. Excellent retro-style.

[@davisdavis2794]

BMW has made this concept car a perfect design. Congratulations on a new design language.

[@TheLukanda]

The feedback is the following: THANK YOU DESIGN GODS FOR BRINGING BACK A BEAUTIFUL BMW!!!

[@Vizion-jp8zj]

The athlete in a tux is BACK. Amazing design.

[@MrBigBlue76]

This is so beautiful, amazing car. This is the real BMW design.

[@Mx54689]

The only thing to add is PLEASE PLEASE do bring this car to market, it will be an extrem success!!!! The design is simply stunning...

[@carlesjuliavallmajo3812]

Sporty , elegant , georgeous color combi , i see the 507 in it , incredible

[@erezyoal]

WOW that's the most beautiful convertible since the iconic Z8 and will Be a natural replacement To the 8 seires

[@jasondickens9003]

Love how the instrumentation is designed to fit in the dash. It’s got incredible personality with modern functionality. That’s the balance that needs to be in modern day vehicles. More BMWs need to have this personality .

[@Stevie1957]

I'd buy one! Best BMW styling I've seen since the M1 ! 5 stars BMW!

[@F85M]

My first post in a long time with nothing negative nor any critique. I love it! So elegant and klassy inside out.

[@nezabytes]

Magnificent! This will sell so quickly!!! It will be on games, movies, and music videos! BMW, dont do like Jaguar did with their mid engine car in that 007 movie and not even produce the car. MAKE THIS CAR!!!

[@michaelreiff8398]

Whoever the new James Bond is, they certainly need to be driving this...

[@automotiveaffairsshorts]

Gorgeous car… let’s hope BMW puts this into production 🤞

[@fancyIOP]

I heard it is going into limited production, I saw this on BMW official Facebook post. This is nice.

[@nezabytes]

They're sold out...all 50!!!

[@fancyIOP]

@ 50 cars?. That’s insane… what’s the price tag?

[@JRB41]

YES! A good looking BMW, finally

[@ruizeng9044]

Wow I almost can't believe it, a new BMW design that actually looks good and doesn't have a stupidly huge grille

[@Sky-ym3nb]

Finally a nice clean design and more link to its design history

[@standacz8638]

This did someone who love cars, new 7 series design has been made from office full of Microsoft excel workers.

[@virtualdru]

This car is amazing. The design elements, the leather, the thought behind every aspect. Beautiful work of art.

[@J-Hiew]

Wow it means a lot for BMW to put their last gen interior design to a new concept cars. I do agree it’s better than the newer all touch screen approach!

[@foflynn]

Yep, not keen on the new approach of having a long rectangular touch screen and no buttons, this looks fantastic

[@phileagle8432]

It’s so great to see a smooth flowing design back. Love the curves and the flow of the body work and that front and back is amazing. Please let this be an inspiration for the design language moving forward. Can you imagine a 3 or a 5 with this kind of front and back? Obviously not as high end as this but echoes of this design would be a real return to classic and elegant BMW design full of sporting prowess and potential.

[@paulpateman6723]

Absolutely stunning car would definitely buy one ❤️🔥

[@wlopezmendez]

Buttons are back!!!

[@TGOR_999]

its a project car ...

[@bmwblog]

They are not, unfortunately

[@NomadJedi]

My dude, that is literally the 8 series interior! Wish they could return to the glorious iDrive 6/7

[@terrencemathew7389]

Yay! A new BMW without being overshadowed by a huge grill!! ❤

[@daraghmorrissey]

wow - how cool is it to have a grille that looks good again

[@sprezzatura8755]

Clean, elegant design. Very hard to find today. Stunning car in a stunning setting. The presenter looks like he works in a hardware store. Love the Corvette C3 t-tops and flying buttresses.

[@bmwblog]

Hardware store 😂 good one

[@biggeststeppa1]

For gorgeous concepts like this one we need to normalise crediting the design team. This is art and it's a shame the artist isn't here to tell us about it.

[@goose4150]

Absolutely undeniably breathtakingly TOTAL MASTERPIECE I desperately need Norev to make a scale model of it

[@BMA8403]

We need to call it ugly so BMW actually builds it. Welcome back BMW. Best design in over 5 years. Simplicity and less lines makes this car design exquisite.

[@mayormsuthu1465]

Wow this would be the best looking BMW ever. It looks incredibly good.

[@Bavarian_M]

Seriously this needs to be in production

[@shawyonsharifi3394]

It is now, costs 600k usd tho.

[@frankiedeuce801]

The 2010 era BMW design is back! And not soon enough, in my opinion. And the interior cockpit shape with buttons should have never went away.

[@silverb4ck192]

It’s a magnificent machine. As many comments here it’s been years that a BMW didn’t get me excited like this one. I really hope that it gives the tone for all the next designs to come, we need this those lights and this front on the whole range.

[@onurerdem1315]

İşde beklediğimiz Bmw tasarımı. Uzun süre oldu Bmw'nin kendine gelmesini beklemek

[@MattCSLnut]

And they're back !!! Pheeew ... I thought we've lost calssy BMW design for ever with the current BMW line up of "Fuglies". This on the other hand is simply STUNING 😍 I hope it makes it into production as it is and becomes the NEW Z8 🤞

[@toushi100]

Best bmw design ever I can't wait to see what a production car would look like

[@warpspeed9877]

Stunning! Good design taste has returned to BMW. The front and back are exquisite. The side view looks a lot like the Lexus LCF which is a great thing!

[@AlphasAnthelion]

Finally a nice looking BMW again!

[@aysbg]

Finally a BMW that doesn't look like it was designed by chinese copycats from the early 2000s. This looks absolutely fantastic!!!

[@dresdenkiller]

Thank you BMW for coming back to senses!

[@WoodDragonGuy]

Gorgeous. Fantastic. It should be a production vehicle and affordable.

[@AGZF1983]

sadly it won't be affordable since its a coach built concept over a production 8 series underpinnings meaning that is a chance that only 50 units will be made and cost 500,000 euros.

[@B0RRAC0]

It's about time BMW went back to beautifully designed vehicles!

[@richardnovelist]

Well, I love it, and I hope BMW makes it. The shark nose is to die for. As is the ducktail. The paint fade is amazing. Wonderful leather interior. I normally don't like red interiors, but I would make an exception for this one. If it is indeed the V8 engine, I'm all in!

[@harleyquebecenrevue3580]

Stunning! I am not a BMW fan but I have to admit, it really is beautiful and I would see myself driving it. The manual roof is not much of an issue for me. Storage space is limited but my wife says it’s not an issue as Louis Vuitton shopping bags will fit just fine.😊

[@Whoareyoucalling]

Well that roof material is definitely being changed if this sees actual production.

[@allanpeterson3358]

❤❤ a amazing beautiful car 🚘. Good job BMW

[@SeekoGT]

Great presentation. Thanks for showing the car.

[@bmwblog]

Glad you liked it!

[@jgelliot]

So bmw still knows how to make an attractive car. I would buy this. Please build it. I am a BMW fan and CCA member. Until seeing this i had basically written off the brand in its modern form... this is a true return to form.

[@yusufuygarcan3457]

Just gorgeous.

[@revuelto2023]

Thank you BMW, the elegance is back!

[@augustkassi9520]

Wow 😮 For the first time I really appreciate a bmw interior 😍👏💪

[@howardgreenman2908]

Stunning design, brilliantly executed. Looks totally production ready, maybe without the leather roof but at this price maybe with it. Either way a genuine winner and definitely should be put into production, no major changes needed. Interested to hear more about the power train and chassis.

[@davidmitchell5638]

This thing looks Soo good!! If bmw isn't making one i will be making one myself.

[@losdesmayosdeNestor]

Beautiful design. Much better than most current models for sale

[@austinluckhoff8268]

Chris Bangle . Who will ever replace you in the design shop ????? . Stunning is the only word that I can find for this design.

[@garryfounds]

Stunning. Simply stunning.

[@OG_BlackBazooka]

What a beautiful concept ! Hope they actually produce this. 😍😍😍

[@Sp3z]

First pretty BMW in so many years! Love it!

[@VonGreen]

I never thought I would ever type these words ever again in my life but, here it goes... This BWM looks very beautiful and it has an amazingly good looking grill... Wow... I almost didn't recognize myself in that...

[@carlesjuliavallmajo3812]

Very very beautiful , at last they got it , produce it , thanks

[@Gigithinker2]

Stunning ! Pure BMW ! Please do produce these 😅

That’s a special piece of machinery! Very good review H.

[@Andrei1986]

Really impressive. Thank you for the presentation and details Horațiu 🙂

[@bmwblog]

Thank you too!

[@messengersofmessiahpastorn7518]

At last a bmv that everyone appreciates and OMG them head lights - they are ground breaking! Should have gone with these for the specter instead of the dual set-up - can at least expect them in next gen.

[@c3vzn]

This feels like a final send off for classic BMW design given it’s based of an 8 series rather than being an all new car. I doubt we’ll ever see anything like this again.

[@Steve-gc5nt]

Why? It already looks like an electric car.

[@c3vzn]

It looks nothing like an EV look at the proportions, it’s just a one off reskin of a 8 series. The hood is that large to have an engine in it. EVs will follow the Neue Klasse concepts.

[@playerskilz]

Incredible looking BMW!

[@maximus9401]

Beautiful. The thing that suprised me the most is that in showing off their newest concept, they chose to use iDrive7 rather than fit iDrive8. If they went the extra mile to customize this car, they easily could have added the new interior. Either a budget constraint or maybe buttons are coming back...Hope the latter

[@00.50goldeneye]

I know Rolls Royce helped design the car but from 10:24 I feel like they took inspiration from Bentley with the color way and how they integrated the exterior color palette with the interior. Makes the set look more stunning and expensive. Marvelous job by everyone involved

[@buzzfunk]

This looks KILLER!

[@ashtonfrett2536]

Absolutely gorgeous. They will make it

[@bmwblog]

They will, as we said

[@johnt9783]

The front looks good. THANK YOU BMW.

[@sborne]

Finally, this design goes back to the BMW design we used to love, and which BMW has let go over the recent years. I LOVE this design, and I am hoping we will see more of the typical BMW designs we all love, unlike the cars they have been producing over the recent years.

[@mamsoadd]

Finally a good looking BMW since 2001

[@thomasheuer1916]

An absolute stunner!

[@altamashkhan3833]

After so many years a good design has seen by BMW . I hope this design makes it into the production version.

[@APAstronaut333]

Good job BMW. That is a slam dunk in my opinion

[@AAB6432]

BMW always nails the coupes. It’s BAD ASS.

[@MichaelDenuh]

This is absolutely beautiful 😍😍😍❤

[@xhenga]

Really beautiful BMW ever. Start pruducing it ❤

[@mmhekmati4101]

the most beautuful BMW i've ever seen.

[@drinkwater9891]

its SO beautiful!

[@pleasantcrew]

Current BMWs should look lke this.

[@abdullakhashabi]

Finally, it's about time to present a good-looking design. I hope the old design team is still in the company, no need to sack them. They can probably work on the interior of some upcoming models.

[@jimmypratt6450]

The interior will take a lot too get used too !!! amazing design 👍

[@LukhanyoNdamane-pn9jg]

Absolutely beautiful car!❤️👌... Just wish future Bmw's could be this attractive!!🔥

[@brettjones4634]

Best looking BMW in years I hope they build it

[@Ebenoozen]

Beautiful car....And none of that recent BMW ridiculous grille nonsense.

[@broad405]

I'm not a fan of BMW,, but this car is elegant and beautiful 👍 the way that red color fades into the trunk blends into the champagne color ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
