Did BMW steal my design?

Post by cj10jeeper » Mon Dec 15, 2008 10:11 pm

OK so more than a bit tongue in cheek for sure, but a Photoshop that was posted somewhere of the new Zed has familiar features:

Sterling Grey with red leather interior
Red brake calipers
5 spoke split rims
clear lights with 'real' angel eyes
hardtop, not coupe (old photo with the wrong wheels).

and hell not shown here, but other pictures even show it with paddle shifts on auto or DCT

What next CF badges??

Makes me smile that BMW had to steal my ideas... :roll: :roll: and convinces me £30k+ trade in for the right spec. can stay firmly in my pocket

if their model picture was black on black i could argue the same thing. just because they used the same color combo that you have doesn't mean they are "stealing ur designs"

Hey Mike - That ends the arguments on best colour combo then. BMW clearly think for it's world premier the Zed has to be in Sterling Grey (or similar) red leather silver dash. Add to that, auto paddle shifts, etc. :rofl: :rofl:

Joking apart that combo does look stunning

Yep it does look great. I want to see Titanium Silver now too, I reckon it will be stunning, with black interior would be my choice, a bit safe I suppose.
