BMW CEO: Production likely for CS concept
BMW will probably build a production car based closely on the CS Concept, North American CEO Tom Purves told Automotive News last week. The statement contradicts a recent report by Germany's Auto Bild indicating the car would probably not see production.
"Our dealers, having seen the photos, are very excited," Purves said. "They love it. […] If media and dealers like it, there's a good chance the customers will."
The CS is "not a stretch or modified anything," he said, suggesting the car is both realistic and should appeal to mainstream upper luxury buyers. Purves says there have been very few cases of BMW not following a concept car with a production model.
If produced, the CS would likely be badged as an 8-Series, according to various reports.
