The BMW 9-Series 'Has Been Given The Green Light'
BMW bosses have given the green light to a new 9-series model according to a report in Car Magazine. The new 9-series model will likely be a four-door, four-seat luxury coupe based on the new 7-series platform; the eagle eyed will question the odd numbering of a four-door BMW, but this is due to the fact that BMW has the 8-series name on ice and because it does not own the rights to the 10-series moniker.
With luxury and fast wafting in mind, the 9-series will feature BMW’s most impressive engines, namely the six-cylinder plug-in hybrid, the twin-turbo V8 and BMW’s V12 which could go on to power the top-of-the-range M9. A power figure of around 650bhp is expected.
The car’s styling could be similar to that of the Grand Lusso Coupe (above) that was shown at the 2013 Villa d´Este concours, and because of the enormity of the impending 9-series’ size, it’ll likely feature a lot of carbonfibre and aluminium to combat unfavourable weight.

2068 - BMW 16 series
Its designed by PININFARINA!!!
BMW should stop and put a movie out already; they have far too many series
I’ll rather wait for 10 series.
That looks gorgeous.
It’s quite old, and yes, it’s absolutely gorgeous.
Reminds me of Aston Martin
They should also cease production of i3, make i8 with petrol only engine and kill FWD 2 series.
But I’m dreaming, I know…
They could make the best driving van in the world by putting RWD on it.
First when I read 2020 I was like: “Man that’s far in the futute”, then realized that 2020 is actually closer to 2016 than 2010. 😂😂😂
Time goes by fast. Make the best use of it. 😂
Why is it an “odd numbering of a four-door BMW”? 3-Series, 5-Series, 7-Series, 9-Series.
There is 2 series, 4 series, 6 series (IIRC) and hopefully there will be 8 series too
