Interesting...I am more interested in the definitive spy pics/ renders( oxymoron) of the 2016.Is it going to be released in 2015?They better do something competitive as the s class seems to have improved a lot.

I doubt this model will have any takers in the US .It might do well in the Asian market.

You just summed-up my thoughts. I think BMW will come up with something good

only thing I'm worried about is the carbon-fiber body.

Not many roads in Asia country can fit this car.
Only can drive on major road.

Roads in North America are much wider than Asia.

Theyre trying to compete with the S XL wheelbase model for markets in China etc

That has never stopped the rich in asia from buying big cars.They are chauffeur driven there unlike in north america where the owners prefer to drive the cars themselves.

Parking are limited. Road are too busy. Ticket fine are fine, but point are limited.
Chauffeur is a benefit.
Most of the richest want the protective BMW, unless this is a protective model.
Protective BMW are very popular in HK.
Doctors and lawyers need to road access especially small and private road.
Hotel and company can use it.
Of course there will be some people buy it.
