What happens when you combine a BMW 6-series, Mercedes-Benz, Aston Martin DB9 and a hint of Audi R8? Well, you get the M-Zero, a conceptual design by Maël Oberkampf (and not officially BMW). It's supposed to represent a BMW "synthesis" between some of the luxury manufacturers out there, but it seems predominantly a BMW, most apparent by the badging. The Audi R8 reference comes because that is the look and feel the designer was going for with this design. It's kind of like getting Shakira's ass with Megan Fox's body and Eva Longoria's face.

Yet another design student shows their portfolio to the world.
And further proof that design should be left to the design profesionals.
Wonder why this dude's wasting his time with a car like this if he doesn't work for BMW. Hell, I can come up with a "conceptual design," too, and it doesn't mean jack...
"It's kind of like getting Shakira's ass with Megan Fox's body and Eva Longoria's face."
Um, actually, this is Kirsten Dunst's ass, Jennifer Love Hewitt's body and Cameron Diaz's face.
@gotsmart: Seriously? You can tell me with a straight face that the crap that "professionals" design is better looking than this?
Sure it ain't perfect, but it's a damned sight better than most cars that are actually reaching production.
It doesn't look anything special, I'm just like "Yeah, next..."
The lights on the back look very wrong, the rear looks squashed up a bit like a Smart Roadster.
Aliza Shvarts strikes again.
@gotsmart: who, like Chris Bangle?
It's a hell of a lot better than the current M6.
Also, when I think "automotive embodiment of Eva Langoria" I think of this [www.autoblog.com]
@gotsmart: trust me, even us design students wouldn't do this- this is just some bored guy.
it's not hideous, but there's some clear line miscommunication- nothing flows, as if it... were... pieced.. together. wait...
Is it just me or does that back end call this to mind:
@Al Navarro: obscure! Nice!
It's a Z4 with a body kit.
Yeah, no.
Does it have a short, balding nefarious twin?
BMW Butterface because the rear had me hitting the jump for more...then the grill elicited an OMGOL. (Oh my god out loud)
this is not pretty. and are those fake exhaust ports on the side? wtf?
Well you know it's not officially BMW because all the panels are so unblemished by creases.
@Al Navarro: You clever boy you...
bad modeling, ok rendering. The roof is a point of exceptional dismay.
it looks like it has down syndrome
Gross
bad designs are almost as numerous as chinese clones, equally as ugly and kill you if you lick them
@Al Navarro: Bravo.
To hell with this M Zero crap!
I will call it MO...

That's worse than the Bimmer 6 and that ain't easy...
"It's kind of like getting Shakira's ass..." Who cares about her face! So it's a 5, look at the ass!
JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!
@pferde_schwanz: Brake cooling ducts.
Hey now... I like the wheels....
Looks like the previous generation Eclipse with an fugly BMW grill.
the front end is not all that great, but the back is pure hotness.
