The BMW E9 helped the German brand to their reputation for sporting cars. In particular, the 3.0 CSL did well in motor sport and Giovanni Michelotti put an unforgettable piece of designkunsten down. Time for a tribute.

Designtalent David Obendorfer is a modern interpretation of the E9 (with a nod to predecessor 2000C/CS) on the basis of the 6-Series without the car full of to hang out with all kinds of frills. Both inside and outside of the design even minimalist, but has enough luxury to be comfortable to drive. If BMW is the car in production as a limited edition, for example.

The “kidneys” of a characteristic haaienneus with the four headlights and the bootachtige bodylines of the original are preserved, and yet it is Obendorfer managed the whole thing a futuristic look. The headlights are equipped with LED laser light is perhaps a little too much of a good thing), but are not overly present. Also the tail lights are simple, small and sleek. He has a crazy mouth and a slightly too long a butt, what at the same time, however, charming.

The BMW CS vintage concept is exactly what I think of a car expected. Only the necessary is visible. The four bells for the nose of the driver are small TFT-screens, of which two are freely programmable. The central display for navigation and infotainment, but if you don’t feel like it, flip it completely invisible for a beautiful, sleek wooden dashboard. To the car not to spartan, the seats and door panels clad with hand-stitched leather.
