Today it seems to be the day of BMW concept designs.

Just a few minutes ago, we have posted an article on the BMW M1 Hommage, a prototype that pays tribute to the original M1. Now, we are ready to show you the BMW M-Zero concept, a design by Maël Oberkampf. This is an independent project and Maël is not affiliated with BMW, just so we clear all the speculations from the beginning.

The direction the designer was going with this design was towards the Audi's R8, but the car has a lot of elements borrowed from the Aston Martin DB9, Mercedes-Benz and even the BMW 6 Series.

What it came out is a futuristic design that combines the luxury with the sportiness in a car.

Don't hold your breath on hoping to see a similar car in production, but as Mr. Oberkampf showed us, sky is the limit.

Very good Photochop. So it's going to be the M version of the 0-series which is right below the entry compact 1-series coupe? It it's going to get a greenlight, just make sure it's going to be as fast as the RX-8, Charger, Mustang, and Camero. Forget about going for the performance of the LF-A, NSX, GT-R, ZR1, Viper, and GT2.

Looks like 7-series finally laid an egg and gave birth to a baby turtle.

If he was affiliated with BMW, the concept would of been horrid. But I must say, its quite attractive with its wide rear fender and tasteful headlights/grill treatment.
