The BMW Concept Touring Coupe reminds us of the beloved BMW Z3 M Coupe – the bread cart is back!

The BMW Group’s recent world premiere of their BMW Concept Touring Coupé at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2023 created a fascinating case study of automotive design, generating comparisons. inevitable with the beloved BMW Z3 M Coupe, affectionately known as the “bread”. van” or “clown shoes” and is remembered for its unique blend of style and practicality.

The new concept car embodies the classic charm of a touring coupe, recalling the legacy of classic BMWs, while adding modern lines reminiscent of the snap brake concept.

Interestingly, the design of the Concept Touring Coupé, especially the rear styling, can also evoke memories of the distinctive rear end of the Z3. Its design is characterized by muscular shoulders and flat rear windows, giving it a solid look.

But perhaps the coupe’s side profile is most reminiscent of the Z3, with its long bonnet and streamlined roof lines, harmonizing in the powerful rear end.

The inline-six engine that powers the concept car also seems to be a nod to nostalgia. In the past, we didn’t mind fitting as many cylinders as possible into the engine bay. No downsizing to four or three cylinders here.

As we look forward to seeing this concept come to fruition, we can’t help but feel nostalgic, remembering the unique blend of style and function of the BMW Z3 M Coupe, which this concept seems to have wrapped. very good compact.
