A few weeks ago, there were murmurings that a 9 Series concept was on its way to the Beijing Auto Show. BMW did not disappoint. It offered attendees a glimpse at roundel products to come with the Vision Future Luxury concept.

During the time the New York Auto Show has been in existence, planet Earth has revolved 114 times around the Sun; in other words, the New York Auto Show has been around a long time. If the exhibition were a person, it would have liver spots the size of a Bangle-designed butt. Ironically, the older the show gets, the newer the cars become, which is why I'm grateful the NYIAS isn't a human being ... large liver spots give me the willies.
