It seems that BMW has prepared a special concept model for the Beijing Motor Show, a prototype which leaked today. The BMW Vision Future Luxury Concept is expected to debut at the aformentioned event sometime tomorrow.

As these leaked images show, we talk about a very elegant concept which reminds us of the Grand Lusso Coupe concept. The massive front grille and the LED headlights improve the model’s look while the sleek lines and large alloys help as well.

There are no official details in this regard but you might be looking at the concept version of the new BMW 7 Series.

We all know that manufacturers launch concept models in order to preview their upcoming vehicles in the range but we still need a confirmation regarding the Vision Future Luxury Concept.

Keep an eye on our blog as we will update you on BMW’s newest concept as soon as the company reveals it at the Beijing Motor Show.

While the artist might have gone a bit over the board with naming his creation, after you see what he drew up, the name won’t seem so wrong.

Even if renderings don’t usually come as a wide photo gallery, the sole picture is called even by the artist a preview of things to come.

Cevik managed to create something quite nice, and while the look of his Sportback Concept is futuristic, the BMW trademarks are there to remind you that it still is a Bimmer. The front grille, with the traditional kidney shape, completely dominates the front end.

The hexagonal headlights are also reminiscent of the lights we saw on the 4 Series concept, although Cevik takes it to a new level.

While the sole photo does present a lot of cool features, with promises for more to arrive, fact remains that so far we have only seen a bit of the project. With more pictures to come, we will be able to make a more informed decision on whether we like it or not.

Come next month and the 2013 OutDoor exhibition taking place in Friedrichshafen, Germany, BMW will unveil a new concept car, dedicated to those who like outdoors activities.

The German car maker has yet to release any pictures of this concept car, but July 12 isn’t that far away.

Called the Active Tourer Outdoor, this new Bimmer will meet “the special need of an outdoor and leisure time oriented target group”. While refusing to go into any details, BMW did say the Active Tourer Outdoor will combine “comfort and dynamic design with a high level of spatial functionality and intelligent access to BMW ConnectedDrive services.”

So far, we can only guess what this car will be. BMW could even be considering a seven seat machine, and if we are to take after the Active Tourer concept revealed last year, we can expect this new car to sport a plug-in hybrid engine.

While we can hope for more details to leak into the internet, we will find out all we want about the BMW Active Tourer Outdoor at the press conference held at the OutDoor exhibition.

BMW Concept Active Tourer is the first BMW that has front-wheel drive (FWD). This model is a MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) that will compete with B-Class from Mercedes.

It was presented at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show where it was greatly appreciated by all visitors. BMW Active Tourer will be released in about 2 years.

BMW claims a fuel consumption of just 1.5L/100km because of EfficientDynamics, all this consumption of a 3-cylinder gasoline engine which outputs 190hp (140kW) on a hybrid plug-in platform eDrive architecture.

The future BMW Active Tourer will be able to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in only 7.9s which is very good considering the weight at which we expect to be higher than the normal BMW cars, that because to battery present inside it.

Once this BMW Active Tourer remains only battery, its autonomy will be somewhere for just 30km, which means you should be headed to the nearest place where you have to fuel with gasoline.

The design of BMW Concept Active Tourer is very futuristic with dynamic design lines as well we can see in the pictures.

The interior is illuminated with a red-orange tint, a warm light with glossy plastic and leather board with a modern color.

Germany is home to the Autobahn, some of the best feats of car engineering on the planet and one of the “greenest” countries in the world.

In keeping of that last aspect, the German government has announced that they are hoping to get one million electric vehicles on the country’s roads by 2020.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel will be meeting top executives of the country’s main automakers and energy companies in Berlin to launch a new initiative to develop electric vehicles. This plan will bear the insignia of the “national platform for electric mobility” and is destined to reach the fabled million in under a decade.

This platform and the eco-minded thinking behind it fits BMW’s efficient dynamics politics and first to show his support for the idea on behalf of the automakers is BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer who stated that the bavarians are ready and well positioned to become a technology leader in the market .

BMW’s hybrid developments so far aren’t probably going to get all these great numbers in sales up so quickly which is why the company has announced it will be relying mostly on cars that will be developed from the BMW ActiveE Concept.

The BMW ActiveE is based on the current BMW 1-Series that has a rear mounted electric motor and a battery setup similar to what you would get in a Tesla Roadster. As always with BMW the performance isn’t one to disappoint even though the main purpose of the car is ecology and the zero emissions factor as the car is completely electric.

I have to say that I was really missing a BMW concept but this time, I forgot the thing that it passed a long time since I saw the last BMW concept because this one is very cool too. The designer of this concept is Seungmo Lin which is a graduate student at the Pforzheim University from Germany.

The idea of this concept has start after the designer find out that people were asking about the importance of the hybrid cars and also that people were asking what is Efficient Dynamics so he wanted to answer at those questions by making this concept.

You should know that this BMW Sequence GT features an engine at each wheel which may be the reason that why is looking like this at the front side. I have to say that it looks very similar to a bug or something like this I gues.

I have to say that I skipped this video, but at the same time, there were few people talking about it but now I saw it and I would like to share it with you and at the same time to say few words about it.

I want to say at the beginning that the video is cool but it could be much cooler if they would do as they usually make their videos, I mean in a very professional way, it would be better, I think that this video was made in a very short time so they didn’t have time for it.

Anyway, talking about what contains this trailer, it shows a bit of what BMW came at the Geneva Auto Show namely the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept, BMW X6 ActiveHybrid, BMW 1 Series Convertible, BMW M3 Convertible and there will also be some other surprises so if you read this blog, you will find what I’m talking about.

I must say that I was really missing a cool concept from BMW but this time I have the chance to see it again and also to talk about it again. We’re talking about a Fuel-Cell concept motorcycle which can also be considered the motorcycle of the future talking about the aspect and also about the fuel that it works with.

The engine of this BMW Fuel-Cell Concept is able to develop up to 100 kW. Some people made some statistics that the fuel-cell vehicles are going to make this year a $4 billion industry which is a reason to develop this.

Other statistics are saying that in 2020 are going to be built up to 670,000 fuel-cell vehicles which sounds a bit too less, I was thinking to some millions to be available until that year, probably this type of vehicles are going to cost too much.

As you should know if you are a reader of the BMWCoop blog we posted lately some sketches of the BMW M2 Concept but I also found on the internet some older sketches with this BMW M2 and of course that the care from photos looks much different than this one.

Even if there are just two photos with this concept, you don’t need more to make an idea of how would look this BMW M2 Concept in reality, at last I did this. Making a comparison, it’s normally that the BMW M2 Concept from 2009 than the concept from these photos.

There is something that anyone would notice namely that this BMW M2 Concept looks from the front side exactly like the 2011 BMW 1 Series Coupe. Also, with this color I can also say that it looks like BMW ActiveE Concept. Anyway, I think that three are chances for this BMW M2 Concept to be built in not less than 5 years.

I don’t think you really remember this concept and even if you do, you didn’t read my opinion about it. At the beginning I would like to say that I love so much this concept just by the moment when I saw the first photo with it.

Anyway, the bad thing at this concept bike is that it is very dangerous as you can see on the photo on how may stay a man on this bike. A good thing is that it is electric and it can also reach high speeds but the thing that is different on other bikes, on this bike can ride only one person.

There is no doubt that this is a futuristic bike and I think I saw some bikes like this one in Sci-Fi movies. There are some chances that in the future, the streets to be full of this kind of bikes.
