After seeing the 1M at Geneva, to our surpirse we got to see the new Vision ConnectedDrive Concept. No doubt, BMW will have a huge intro for this car at the official Press Event in Geneva tommorow. We've got some wide angle shots for you to give you an idea of the car's size and styling. Tomorrow will bring interior and detailed shots.

The car looks amazing in person, especially in frozen gray. It's stance, color, and finish really displays well in the show car atmosphere, and no doubt this car will be a hit at Geneva. And to that extent, BMW has really put alot of effort into this car, they have setup a very large stand area for the car, with the car sitting on a rotating stand and truly massive LCD displays in the background. You can see this stand a mile away!

Stay tuned for the start of the press days at the show tommorow where we will be putting up alot more photos!

Still not sold on the front fenders straight edge, but overall very sweet!

jeff@autocouture · 02-28-2011, 11:24 AM

Seems like a X1 M Package to me.

nemex12 · 02-28-2011, 11:41 AM

in which photo scott?

3XTR3M3 · 02-28-2011, 11:49 AM

Yes!!! I always wanted ansuper futuristic BMW with G37 tail-lights.

Lol, the rest looks good. Thanks for the pics, Mark.

skiernan36 · 02-28-2011, 12:04 PM

why is BMW trying to bring back chrome wheels?

SamS · 02-28-2011, 12:08 PM

It may be wishful thinking, but I think I see some of those design elements in the 1M. Specifically the front air curtain via the vertical opening ahead of the front wheels. And the LED tail light bars. Obviously, both are more tamed in production versions of current cars.

Seriously though, the car looks great. Front and Back look great, just need to work on the sides a bit.

mike87 · 02-28-2011, 12:47 PM

hideous

new2the3 · 02-28-2011, 12:56 PM

I like the 135i brakes!

anyways the car looks nice-- I'd love to see it in a coupe though.

mac335 · 02-28-2011, 01:03 PM

Small Yellow · 02-28-2011, 01:14 PM

I want this.

cs4444 · 02-28-2011, 01:22 PM

"I am in those photos."

He said photos...plural.
I would guess its the guy with the stopwatch around his neck, who is in a few of the pics.

Jblack4083 · 02-28-2011, 02:15 PM

LF-A / R8 style supercar is coming.

Anyone else see the X3 M-Sport (or X3M ;-) lurking in the wings? )
