Z9 was a real show/concept car. BMW has already said that they have no plans to produce such a car. Z9 also had a very nice diesel engine which may make it into production.

I thought it was a sharp looking car, no plans for production. More of a design study. The only recent concept car from BMW under Bangle is the XCoupe, which supposedly hints at the upcoming 1-Series BMW's.

BMW is doing good at having a family look. Too bad its an ugly look.

Speaking of the X Coupe, that's the X Convertible Concept in the background of picture number three, I think.

Yeah, that car is awesome. It looks like its got tons of power. That long hood, the short overhangs, the big wheels, the side bulges, that car is bad ass. I hope the M6 looks like this. But I have a feeling its going to be toned down
