BMW PAS Photo Surfaces. Real or Fake?

Mark · 02-10-2009, 10:44 AM

Looks fake to me with just a hodgepodge combination of current BMW cars into one photoshopped car (the wheels being the biggest giveaway of it being a PS). But let the speculation go fourth ..

Either way, its a great look at what the general shape of the upcoming PAS would be like: An X6 silhouette on a lowered more sedan like body.

I keep seeing the word PAS, does it stand for Passenger Activity Vehicle or something else stupid. Is this BMWs term for crossover I guess like SAV is for SUV?

I don't think it's photoshop,but i could be wrong...now that's what i call 'sitting on the fence'

slipknot · 02-10-2009, 12:19 PM

the rear looks like X6....the front looks much better..its really a weird car...something brand new , its gonna be pretty interesting

Imola.ZHP · 02-10-2009, 03:14 PM

It reminds me of that new Toyota car that is basically the same shape...

Lemme find it..............

^ I agree, the Toyota is kinda hot until you come around to the front. Then you think "WTF happened here?"

Empowered · 02-10-2009, 04:12 PM

I think it could be real. the rear hatch seems to be slightly higher in profile than the X6, which has taken stick for its lack of rear head room. The whole point of the PAS was to give the feeling of more space (according to the teaser video). This image seems to back it up. I personally like the look of it from this angle, i guess a lot depends what its 'face' looks like from the front.

ehh.......

This is real. According to a German Car magazine Auto Bild this is the new BMW GT 5 Series. They will make a 3-Series and 5 Series version.

I thought there was supposed to be a second smaller trunk so you wouldn't have to open the whole trunk? Haven't seen that from these pics, but interesting concept nonetheless.

Fake.

All of em.

sinnet112 · 02-11-2009, 07:06 PM

v1p3r · 02-12-2009, 08:36 AM

Not once since I've been checking spy shots has Autobild's "renderings" ever look anything like the real thing in the vital places, lights, wheels, vents etc. i call fake too.
