Car enthusiasts only

Went to a BMW event in Santa Monica (Los Angeles) with concept cars from all three of BMW's brands including Rolls Royce and Mini and thought I'd share a few pics.

I want the motorcycle and I don't even ride! Enjoy!

Wonder what kinds of roads these vehicles would drive on? Certainly not here in NJ, those wheel covers would be destroyed in no time.

Any bumps or dips and those car bodies are finished. Nice design work, but completely impractical.
