The BMW CS Concept was a concept car displayed by BMW in 2007 at several international motor shows and again in April 2008 at the New York International Auto Show. It is a fastback sedan that features many new innovations for BMW, such as door handles that only come out when sensors detect motion.

It has dimensions slightly bigger than the E65 7-series, [ [http://www.carbodydesign.com/archive/2007/04/21-bmw-cs-concept/ Bmw CS Concept ] ] [ [http://www.leftlanenews.com/bmw-cs-concept.html [Photos added BMW Concept CS ] ] . Tom Purves, CEO of BMW America, stated that CS Concept could be produced, following positive initial comments in 2007 by BMW dealers. This was followed up in 2008 by an announcement by BMW that the concept goes into production in the form of the new BMW Gran Turismo. Unlike the previous 8 Series, which was two-door coupe grand tourer, the Gran Turismo would be a four-door with coupé-type styling, similar to the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class.
