RE: BMW Concept Skytop leaks ahead of reveal
Discussion
I remember viewing concept cars just like this when I was reading Autocar magazines at the library as a kid in the early 90's. Based upon that fact alone, I can't say we've made giant strides in the design of the car!
Another good barometer is comparing older cars in a lesser developed country with the modern equivalent in a modern developed country. The change is barely negligible.

owning a current 6 conv i really do like this BUT at what cost?? seeing what the M3/M4 etc are costing this will be ealry 6 figures ouch!
If it is the new 8, they van easily start below the M3/M4. M8 is a different matter.FWIW, I really like it. Smooth and elegant, befitting of a large drop top (or coupe)

It looks too dated for me.
Maybe with "more grill", different paint etc it might look a bit more up-to-date, but on these pictures, not great.
We've gone from criticising cars that have become 'all grill' in a modern design losing old-class design elegance, to now saying something without a large grill looks dated. Maybe with "more grill", different paint etc it might look a bit more up-to-date, but on these pictures, not great.

Ah, so you are what BMW has been targeting with the recent designs. I knew there had to be someone that likes them. Maybe with "more grill", different paint etc it might look a bit more up-to-date, but on these pictures, not great.
It's a sign of my aging I think, but the idea that a car looking up to date being a good thing isn't a given to me.
Yes, it is going to leak. All targa tops do when they are old.
