Bmw concept

This year’s show had a number of vehicular stars, with some of the showstoppers making it onto our Best-of list. GM really brought out the big guns in their hometown, but we’ve got to hand it to the German manufacturers for stealing some of the more refined moments, as seen in our choice for Best of Show.

We’ll go further into our picks in the next few weeks, but for now check out our 2013 favorites below:Long speculated about amongst Beemer fans, the new BMW Concept 4-Series Coupe is the official confirmation that the Munich-based manufacturer will be transitioning their 3-Series Coupe and Convertible to a new moniker. BMW believes that the 4 represents a new dimension for the brand in terms of aesthetics, dynamics and elegance. Distinctly sporty yet luxurious and athletic, the coupe’s long wheelbase, large front air intake and spontaneous body lines are refined and classy with a dose of sex appeal. While the low-slung initial production variants will borrow engines from the 328i (240 HP V4) and 335i (330 HP V6) for the moment, the recently confirmed M4 model, which we’ll see a couple years down the line, will probably go after something resembling the M3 or M5. Look for the finalized 4-Series sometime this fall—preferably around the Playboy Mansion.
