Ok I have searched our forums and looked through the site and I have not seen this concept mentioned. As a matter of fact, I can only find a handful of mentions about it on the net.

It seems lost for all time but it was a cool looking idea none the less.

Nice find!
Now THAT is just plain SWEET!
I can't say much for the pictures. But the concept is quite slick. And the super small parking space - loading position is downright wild! Althought it looks like you could push it right over in that configuration.
Hmm... AND, it looks like she is a TILTER as well! That shape would slip through the air with next to no drag at all.
BMW amazing the heck of out me, with some of their designs. But for the life of me, I cannot figure why they don't build em and sell em!
NICE FIND!

Yeah I hear ya Jack. The thing looks extremely unstable when it is in park mode. Looks like a strong gust of wind would topple that puppy. I really don't even care about the parking feature. I just think the concept looks sweet. I wish we could get some car companies to make some of these neat vehicles.
Shoot half of the time the concept vehicles are the coolest vehicles and they NEVER make the thing. I think the new Camero is very concept looking and look how well it is selling. I see those things everywhere.

It looks like it's a followup on the Clever project. BMW shows there's more to mobility than the old box on four wheels by launching its MegaCity and Rocketman projects. But BMW also does a lot of window dressing. It cashed EU subsidies for the Clever, but already knew that it would not take the project any further.

1362These look similar (except for the fact that they're on four wheels):

It looks like something that would shoot out from under the Bat Mobile. Either that or throw on a few glowing blue light strips and you have a pretty sick looking Tron light cycle.

Looks awesome, but from what I see the front wheel can't turn. So, neat concept, never work.

Exactly because all roads will be completely strait in the future. They will also all be down hill and lead to the same place.
