The BMW CS Concept was a concept car displayed by BMW in 2007 at the Shanghai Car Show and again in April 2008 at the New York International Auto Show. It is a fastback sedan that features many new innovations for BMW, such as door handles that only come out when sensors detect motion. Unconfirmed rumors suggest this concept may see production in the form of the new BMW 8 Series. Unlike the previous 8 Series, which was a coupe, the CS would be a four-door with coupe styling, similar to the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class. With dimensions slightly bigger than the E65 7-series,[1][2] its competition is expected to be more upmarket than the previous 8 series, and will include the Maserati Quattroporte, Porsche Panamera, Aston Martin Rapide, and the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class. Tom Purves, CEO of BMW America, stated that CS Concept could be produced, followed by the positive comments BMW dealers expressed of the concept.
