Unidentified BMW prototype

[menor95]

Hi all. My cousin found this article in a magazine some time ago and I have always wanted to know more about this car. Is it a prototype of some sort? Has anyone ever seen it before? Anything?

Clearly the description is wrong and irrelevant. I am also thinking it could be a 635 replacement. I cant wait to get some accurate info on it

I can't see the image properly.

Can you take a pic of the car again, but in decent daylight, and tap the dark area if using a phone so it lightens it a bit to bring out the shadow detail?

I'm intrigued.

I will ask my cousin. I am not sure if he still has the paper. I am hoping someone on here can shed some light.

Were there ever any plans for a 7 series coupe or a coupe related to the E38? the front has similar proportions to the E38.

I found some similar pics after searching for a while however I have no information at all. Could all these pictures be photo shopped? They look it to me.

The pics you have put up are photoshopped, but they still don't relate to the original pic.

The original has E30 M3 style box arches and skirts, a 2 door E31-ish roof, and E38 headlights.
Maybe it is a scan of a photoshop, etc, or an aftermarket one-off conversion.

I thought they were shopped to be honest even though i am no expert. I was desperately looking for the first pic online but no luck.

After a few days hunting on the internet I could not find any more info. I looked high and low but no luck

I'm thinking it might turn out to be an E36 with custom box widearches made for it.

I agree. The door certainly looks like it came off an e36 however the mirrors do not. The hard top roof could possibly be an e36 item but it is hard to tell from the pic.
