It's just a concept. I think there are several elements that could be very successfully transfered into a production car. Concepts are always over the top, if they ever build this as a production car it's gonna look much better I'm sure.

Ultimate Driving Machine really? BMW need to focus on building a real 2-seater sports car. they've got nothing to compete with other brands. stop playing Lexus' game by introducing those concept car variants.
