Not that we had any doubts, but BMW is indeed giving the Skytop a more practical shooting brake derivative. A new teaser video confirms that last year\u2019s stunning show car from the Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este will get a long-roof version. Gone are the manually removable targa panels, replaced by a fixed roof ending with a large rear spoiler.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the second shooting brake with the BMW roundel in recent times, following the Concept Touring Coupe<\/a> from the 2023 show. Logic suggests the two-door wagon carries a different name to better distinguish it from the Skytop. Although described as a one-off, the new M8-based beauty might be offered to customers. As a refresher, the targa-topped version is getting a limited production run of 50 units. It would make sense for the estate to get a license plate as well.<\/p>\n

BMW never disclosed pricing details for the open-air Skytop<\/a>, but reports have suggested it might have cost \u20ac500,000. It\u2019s hard to say whether the shooting brake would be cheaper or more expensive if a production version is planned. The higher-ups in Munich were likely encouraged by the success of the targa convertible to approve a follow-up wagon.<\/p>\n

The M4 CSL-based 3.0 CSL was also a roaring success, despite its unconfirmed \u20ac750,000 price tag. If only BMW had also given the Concept Touring Coupe the green light. The Z4 M40i-based shooting brake was rumored to be getting a 50-unit production run at $250,000 apiece. However, it sadly never materialized<\/a>. Here\u2019s hoping this new shooting brake makes it to production, even if it\u2019s strictly limited to just a few dozen cars for wealthy buyers.<\/p>\n

The world premiere is locked in for May 23 at the Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este. At the same show, held on the shores of Lake Como in Italy, BMW M will also unveil a new car<\/a>. It hasn\u2019t been teased yet, but an educated guess suggests we\u2019ll see the M2 CS. Additionally, a special display of 3 Series models will mark half a century of the E21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
