![]() ![]() Whether BMW takes the CS Vintage seriously or not is something we may never know, but it would be nice to think its design team avidly look at the work of fans like this.Īmong David’s other projects are a reborn Renault 4, a new Fiat 500-based roadster and a particularly smart-looking Abarth 127 (final picture, right). Under the long-standing tagline The Ultimate Driving Machine, the company has mainly produced luxury cars with a focus on driving pleasure. The multi-spoke alloy wheels form the BMW 1M Coupe appear to be used, too. ![]() While the car only exists in electronic form, David has gone to the effort of designing different specifications, with some looking sportier than others. Anyone who dislikes BMW's recent fascination with thick-rimmed steering wheels will be pleased to see the daintier rim in this CS. The automatic gearbox PRND selector is also smartly packaged. The interior is minimalist in design with plenty of clean wood panels, though this is mixed with current BMW tech, including an electronic parking brake and iDrive, with online connectivity apparent on its screen. The ‘Hofmeister kink’ is present and correct on the rear windows, while the BMW badge on the C-pillar is another retro touch. The front end exhibits most nods to those original 60s cars, while the rear end is neat, tidy and very well executed. It gives the car a bit more power, better handling and it has a little spoiler on the boot. It has a 1.6 liter, 4 cylinder engine and it was the base model, but it has a M-sports pack. Even late-model vehicles have modern in-car technology and advanced. It hasn't been renovated at all, and frankly, wages have definitely not even close to doubled in this time either.

The CS Vintage is a celebration of the old BMW CS, both in its original mid 1960s 2000CS form and the updated 2800CS and 3.0CS, the base car for the much-loved CSL Batmobile.īased on the current BMW 6-series platform, the CS Vintage is notably retro yet its proportions still look fresh, with hints of the new 2-series in its side profile. I was honestly in shock when I saw that the same apartment my (now wife) GF and I rented when we were 19 for 165 AUD per week is now going 15 years later for 320 per week. The BMW CS Vintage Concept is the work of David Obendorfer, a designer keen to fight the cause of retro design and whose website possesses a collection of rendered projects of the cars he loves, re-imagined. She makes a bet with Prudence, if her ankle is broken, (and Harriet is sure it isnt), she will move to California to live with her and Henry. And if not, it’s only a rendered concept at the moment anyway… Harriet Beamer is a 72 year old widow, very happily living on her own with her basset hound, Humphrey in Pennsylvania, until she has fall when her son Henry and daughter in law Prudence are visiting.
