\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

BMW has chosen this month\u2019s Geneva Motor Show in Geneva Switzerland to debut its new BMW M135i Concept(pictured above).<\/p>\n

The\u00a0design\u00a0of the BMW M135i Concept hearkens back to another era of hot rodding. \u00a0Of course this type of vintage hatchback hot rod design is unexpected from BMW as this vein of the hot rodding tradition is American through to the bone. \u00a0Suffice it to say, just because something is unexpected does not mean that it is unwelcome.<\/p>\n

Compared with the silhouette of the five-door BMW 1 Series, the\u00a0three-door BMW Concept M135i makes an even more sporting and\u00a0elegant statement. On the whole, the car has a more dynamic and\u00a0elongated appearance. Viewed from the side, the car\u2019s athletic, low\u00a0slung appearance and its nearness to the road are even more\u00a0intensely expressed by an entirely horizontal contour line in the area\u00a0of the doorsills. A dynamically rising character line symbolises the\u00a0BMW Concept M135i\u2019s urge to move forwards.<\/p>\n

The wide doors are a further characteristic feature of the BMW\u00a0Concept M135i\u2019s body design. Together with the rear side windows,\u00a0the frameless windows form a coherent window surface reaching\u00a0back to the rear end, accentuating the body\u2019s dynamically stretched
\nappearance.<\/p>\n

The world premiere of the BMW Concept M135i will take\u00a0place at the Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday, 6th March. \u00a0While we currently have no word as to when to expect the BMW Concept M135i to hit the sandy shores of the Phoenix Valley area, we do know that concepts with a strong hint pf promise (such as the M135i) tend to take two or three years to come to full fruition.<\/p>\n

Phoenix Valley automotive enthusiasts can view and test drive any current production model BMW vehicle at\u00a0their\u00a0local Phoenix Valley BMW dealer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This luxury Hot Rod debuts at the Geneva Motor Show\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2469,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[12],"class_list":["post-2468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-auto-news","tag-featured","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\nBMW Unleashes Vintage Style Racing Concept<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"BMW M135i Geneva Motor Show Concept Hot Rod Racing Hatchback Scottsdale Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/bmw-unleashes-vintage-style-racing-concept\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BMW Unleashes Vintage Style Racing Concept\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"BMW M135i Geneva Motor Show Concept Hot Rod Racing Hatchback Scottsdale Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/bmw-unleashes-vintage-style-racing-concept\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Arizona Auto News -
