1993 BMW Z13.

The 1993 BMW Z13 concept was presented with a rear engine and three seats, and that is not the only odd feature of this hatchback. You have to wonder what BMW would be like today of their vehicles had gone in this direction. Read the rest of this story on Cartype.

1991 BMW Z1 Coupe prototype.

While the BMW Z1 is labeled a Coupe, it is really a hatchback and is the seed for the beautiful (in my view) MCoupe.

This was the base for a platform concept to research fundamental research in the areas of bodywork construction, materials and development processes, but it’s a good thing that BMW did not go down this design path. It looks like something AMC would have done if they had survived and explored an effort to stay current. Read the rest of this story on Cartype.
