BTW I've never really liked BMW and now they're thinking to make something as fugly as that..

Also, while it may look good with dramatic studio lighting, a cloth exterior would look pretty horrid in real life. Seems like they are using the same type of material that you see on those stretchable truck tonneau covers. I would prefer my car to have metal panels and not textile cloth panels. Its a fun concept car that should stay a concept.]]>Jun 11th 2008 3:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/Jun 11th 2008 5:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/Jun 11th 2008 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/
"Oh need to reskin my entire car, that will be about 5,000 dollars down the drain."

There are better concepts out there, but this one is pretty original. Too bed the seemingly best concepts rarely make it.]]>Jun 11th 2008 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/Jun 11th 2008 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/

The M3's an outstanding performance car/sports coupe/sports sedan (I used to own one) but it's not a sports car. For one, it has 2-3 too many seats.]]>Jun 11th 2008 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/Jun 11th 2008 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/Jun 11th 2008 2:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/
Then, when some annoying ricer with his fart cans tries to do you at the light *VRoooom*, that sound of a german engineered V8 revving to god-knows-where, and a Honda Civic left in a large could of your dust+tyre smoke.

On the subject of the car though, looks to me like its based on the Z4 chassis...

Man: Honey, I'm just off outside to massage some lotion into the car =)

What exactly is a "sports car" anyway? Isn't it ironic that most so-called sports cars are driven by aging fat bastards whose only association with "sports" is through "sports cars" and "sports lounges"?]]>Jun 11th 2008 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/
Eh, around here most BMWs are for eurosnob-funboys (hey if you can over-simplify, then why can't I?). I have yet to see an M3 not driven by someone who's a complete douche.]]>Jun 11th 2008 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/Jun 11th 2008 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/Jun 11th 2008 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/Jun 11th 2008 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/Jun 11th 2008 1:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/
Not to mention, that a tear in a fabric will probably be easily fixed, if not replaced. Where aren't dealing with metal here.

Also, how often do you go around SCRAPING GUARD RAILS with your car? You're unlikely to get a proper fix from that for less than $5k on a conventional car, since you'll have scraped two bumpers, two fenders, and 1-2 doors.]]>Jun 11th 2008 2:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-concept-car-has-skin-skeleton-b/how often do you scrape against guardrails?
you make it sound like a common occurrence.
