BMW is indeed rumoured to show a 9 series concept in China. However, the car in your post is the BMW Gran Lusso Coupe concept from 2013.

Pininfarina at its best, I would really like them to pen a few B&O designs.

we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.

Their coffee machine was the biggest earner for them , but sharing the risk on building cars for other people seems to have finished Pininfarina off , unfortunately . They seem to styled a residential complex in Miami though http://www.designdirectory.com/pininfarina

Am i being stupid or does it have a distinct lack of door handles? Huh?

Stunning looking car though (even if you can't get into it...)

Lee, the lack of door handles is a standard Showcar feature

 

http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/News/Search-Results/First-Official-Pictures/Ford-S-Max-Vignale-concept-2014-first-official-pictures/

gives it a different look but the builder puts a switch somewhere like the front wheel arch .

Agree this may not be one of Pinin's best, I shudder when I look at the Ferrari California. But they are surviving in this corporate, mass production world so I am pleased and I would not like to see them go like Bertone (even though they produced the gorgeous Jet).

Only Touring by the skin of their teeth are surviving with such beauties as the DIsco.

Actually it has switches right under the B-pillar. you can hardly see them but they are there. In this shot they are (barely) visible.

Wooden dashboards never really left us, did they?

"Lime wood" ?

the press release only suggests the design was inspired by the pininfarina showcar.
