BMW 9 Series Concept Rumored for Beijing
If bigger is better, BMW might be bringing its best yet to the 2014 Beijing Motor Show.
It is being rumored that the German automaker will debut a 9 Series concept in Beijing, where ultra-luxury sedans rule the road. The range-topping model will specifically cater to the affluent Chinese customers and is believed to be based on the upcoming lightweight platform that is underpinning the next-generation 7 Series.

Dubbed G11, the new 7 Series platform will reduce the weight of the current flagship sedan to similar numbers as the current 5 Series sedan. At the rapid rate that BMW is continuing to expand its model lineup, it wouldn’t entirely be a shock to see a 9 Series concept on the horizon.
