BMW design director Adrian van Hooydonk has hinted that a BMW 9 Series could be forthcoming. The 9 Series would likely be a 4-door coupe taking on the likes of the Mercedes-Maybach S600.
When asked by
Autocar if BMW had plans for a 9 Series, van Hooydonk responded: "Let’s say this: we won't stop here [with the 8 Series]. Obviously our job is to have more ideas than the company can build, because the other way round would be very bad.
“My team and I are now looking at 2021 and beyond – as far out as 2030. We have a lot of plans.”
As for design? The
BMW Future Luxury Concept shown in 2014 could easily be drawn upon for inspiration and clues.
