F3 test mule at Nürburgring
NURBURG, Germany — A new BMW test mule has hit the Nürburgring, and it may be the first sign that BMW's long-rumored V Series crossover is in development. Although Mercedes-Benz hasn't exactly enjoyed overwhelming success with its R-Class crossover, that doesn't seem to be deterring BMW from getting into the game. Based on a modified BMW 3 Series Sport Wagon body, this prototype looks far more car-based than a previous mule we spotted for the next-generation BMW X3. The X3 mule had a tall off-road ride height, while this latest mule sits much lower. A cross between a traditional wagon and a sport-utility, the BMW V Series is ultimately expected to offer three rows of seats in a boxy, yet non-minivan-like body. This prototype's unique front bumper may have some BMW M3 overtones, but its overall design appears to be original. What this means to you: Let's hope BMW can keep the V Series from treading too far into minivan territory. Last edited by LeMansX5; 05-07-2008 at 08:58 PM. |

that is the beauty of marketing, it fools most people!
crossovers have been around for awhile. here are some other names you may recognize: station wagon, minivan, SUV (4x4), 'touring' models, and now crossovers! |

crossover, isn't that a station wagon?
BMW engineers need to back away from the pipe. Guess these were ahead of their time as 'crossovers'

Great, so this is a photo of the Merc that BMW is setting it's sights after with this new V-Series. Awesome, sign me up . This is BMW jumping into another pointless segment to dilute the brand. Maybe it is just me, but I don't think BMW needs to create a model for every single person in the world.

F5 PAS vs. R-class
PAS will be 10 cm lower PAS will be at least 100kg lighter PAS will be a bit shorter (5 - 10 cm = 2 - 4 inches) |
