The BMW Concept Touring Coupe project, which was shown as part of a special event in Italy, managed to create an agenda in 24 hours.
The transformation trend in the electric focus of automobile manufacturers in recent years has brought with it brand new product groups. We witness that many brands that have opened a white page with these product ranges have completely changed their design language. This being the case, we suddenly started seeing giants, which include loyal user groups, at the center of the criticism board. It is not difficult for us to write the BMW front at the top of the list. Taking the iconic kidney grille to a whole new level with its new generation “i” product range, BMW received a lot of criticism for its new design approach that dominates the front section with its huge dimensions. Despite this, the team, which does not compromise on its approach, is almost “with XM, which is the last thing we have come across.”This is how things are here” he gave the message. The BMW Concept Touring Coupe project, which was introduced in Italy over the weekend we left behind and has become a hot topic, is the proof of how a delicious combination in which classical genes are preserved can still be unifying.

Joint ‘production’ call for BMW Concept Touring Coupe
It is possible to say that the BMW Concept Touring Coupe project, which was staged as part of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este event held on the shores of Lake Como, created a shock effect. The foundations of the project, which brought the message “they finally remembered normal” to the design team, which has been dealing with giant kidneys for a long time, are based on the Z4. The integration of the formula, which we remember from the Z3 in BMW’s “Z Series” history, to the Z4, to be honest, reveals a delicious image. In addition to the differences brought by the body, the wheel set and special color combination are also distinguished. In the cockpit, unlike the standard Z4, the perception of wealth is raised with higher quality upholstery that comes in partnership with Poltrona Frau. Under its hood, the Concept Touring Coupe is positioned as an inline eight-cylinder machine that we know from the Z4 M40i, and in parallel, it is a car with 335 horsepower and 500 Nm torque.

It is possible to say that the BMW team has been cautious for now for the project, which has become the focus of attention of the automobile press around the world in the short period of time that has passed since its introduction. We see that the doors are not completely closed to this idea about the car, which received serious feedback on its mass production. The Group’s Design Director Adrian van Hooydonk’s statements to the press during the event draw attention to the messages that they are aware of the returns and that a limited step can be taken on the production side. Although it is not certain, we have a chance to see the Concept Touring Coupe on the streets with a limited production of 50-100 in the upcoming period.
