BMW used the Shanghai Auto Show to unveil its BMW CS Concept, a car that is not only sexy in its shape, but significant in its being: This car points the design path for all future BMWs to come out of American designer Chris Bangle's studio. Yes, the flame surfacing of its body continues (a much derided and now much copied look), but with more flowing lines.

That is a thing of Beauty!
Huge gills (very Porsche-like), nice streamlined roofline (very Aston-like, although the front windshield can be a little more raked), and a very design-savvy interior that makes current BMW interiors look outdated (which they are).
Yet, still, THAT DAMN i-DRIVE!!!

Looks like it previews several cars, including the next 7 and rumoured Z9.
Some of the styling details and flowing lines are very similar to Lexus L-Finesse styling. That character line that merges into the rear tails for example is extremely similar to the IS. And check out those integrated exhausts.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
This beholder doesn't see any beauty about the exterior. Is it "modern", unusual - yes! Is it pretty, attractive - no.
The interior is very interesting, though, because it is much "warmer" than the typical BMW designs.
