BMW Z9 GRAN TURISMO 2009, OPEN DOOR
The BMW Z9 Convertible made its UK debut at the British International Motor Show (October 18 - 29) less than 3 weeks after its world debut in Paris.Although it is a concept car and will never reach production, this is a concept of greater significance than many 'dream machines' because it carries significant clues to the direction of BMW's future styling, both inside and out.Although the exterior of a concept car is often what grabs attention, in the case of the Z9 Convertible the interior exposes the real revolution - it looks fresh, uncluttered and minimalist for the very simple reason that it is. Like the Z9 Gran Turismo shown at Frankfurt in September 1999, the Z9 Convertible is a technology carrier for BMW's trendsetting iDRIVE ergonomics - with the roof off it is now exposed for the world to see.
