BMW introduced the Concept CS, a four-door concept car combining the luxury of a Gran Turismo with the high-performance of a sports car. The concept car features innovative headlights with LED reverse projection technology and sporty seating for four passengers.
 
This car is an example of what BMW's design director, Adrian van Hooydonk, feels sheer driving pleasure in a four-door vehicle is all about.
 
This car builds on the heritage of the BMW M5, which has set a benchmark for high-performance saloon motoring.   The goal is to combine sporting performance with sophisticated luxury wrapped in an attractive package.
 
The low-slung, stretched silhouette, the long engine compartment lid and stylish lines and contours accentuating rear-wheel drive technology are an attempt to create a stylish elegance that still evokes a certain dynamism.

Innovative LED reverse-projection lights bundle their light on a reflection area from where the beam is conveyed smoothly, consistently and with utmost precision to the road ahead. The goal is to provide a homogenous area of illumination without dazzling oncoming motorists.
 
The design of the interior reveals a brand-new concept for subdividing the cockpit into various sections, as a select choice of materials and a high regard for the quality of fit and finish.  The four single sports seats and the design of the controls and instruments are an invitation to active motoring.
 
The Concept CS is the BMW vision of an automobile meant to be driven and enjoyed.
