BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe at its last Day at the BMW Welt Munich

Hey Guys

Social Media rocks! Want to know why?

Earlier today (right at 10am, when the Museum opens) I went to the BMW Museum in Munich to have a look at the Temporary Rolls-Royce Exhibition (definitely a visit worth, read more about it here soon!) and for sure I've checked in to the BMW Welt via Foursquare and shared the Check-In via Twitter. After I've already left, the BMW Welt asked, via Twitter, if I've already seen the BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe there ... Oups, no!
So I went back, right in time before the Concept was removed. Thanks to Twitter and the nice Man behind the BMW Welt Twitter (and Facebook) Channel I was able to take these Shots for you. Hope you enjoy them!

Some Words about the Car: The Concept 4 Series Coupe made its debut at the Detroit Motor Show (NAIAS) in January 2013 and will replace the BMW 3-series Coupé. The F32 4-Series will also share all technical features with the F30 3-Series and is planned to hit the markets as 2014-Models. The production will be in Germany.

With a Focus on People: New Renault TwinZ Concept Car

Renault Twin´Z by Laurens van den Acker and, Ross Lovegrove

Hey Guys

Earlier Today I already posted the Technical Data of Renaults new TwinZ, here now more Details about the Concept Car, making its Debut at the international furniture fair in Milan.

When the E-Mail with the Press Release reached me yesterday I was a bit confused: "It's an EV .. it looks pretty like the ZOE ... what the hell is this?" Well, the TwinZ will never go in Production, not only because the Fact that it's a Concept Car, but the TwinZ is the fifth of 6 Concept Cars by Renault focusing on different stages of the human Lifetime showing the "could be" in Design, Technology and Powering.

This "Concept Car Series" started in July 2010 with the 2-seater Coupé DeZir, symbolizing the Teenage-Phase of loving couples. The Crossover CAPTUR followed in March 2011, evoking the spirit of adventures, as a young couple. Symbolizing another lifetime, starting a family, the R-Space debuted in March 2011 as well. The EV-Van Frendzy gave a view into the Working- and Leisure-time. And now the fifth concept, the Twin'Z respects all the wants and needs of Mid-Agers.

The design of the exterior is influenced by the legendary Renault 5 and the first-generation Twingo, Renault created to allow her time to present valid milestones for the class of the compact city-car. The 3.62-meter long Twin'Z are the high waistline and large, forward position in the corners of 18-inch wheels. This design not only enables agile driving characteristics, but also the generous interior. Same time signaled the tight shaping power and security. All light sources are intentionally minimalist drawn headlights are designed with LED-technology. Together with the distinctive "eyelids", this makes for an optimistic, friendly expression. The side mirrors are replaced by cameras that blend aerodynamically with the body. The transparent rear spoiler provides additional downforce on the rear axle, the vehicle can not act but by its transparency misshapen. The battery for the electric drive is centrally located in the floor of the car, so the interior and trunk fully available. In addition to the low center of gravity ensures the underground installation of the raised seating position which allows an excellent overview of the traffic situation.
