More BMW CS 8 Concept
Shanghai - April 21, 2007: BMW Group unveiled the new BMW Concept CS during its press conference at the Auto Shanghai 2007.
BMW presented its vision of a unique four-door car which combines the exclusivity of a genuine luxury Gran Turismo with the fascinating thrill of a high-performance sports car, all in a dizzingly ugly package sure to send even KIA owners into fits of convulsive laughter.

area by a desperate test driver in a impromptu safety test:
The BMW Concept CS sends out a clear message of active, dynamic motoring all in a styled package certain to revolt the senses of anyone who is not legally blind.
