== Design and features == [[File:BMW Concept CS AMI Heck.JPG|thumb|left|Rear view]] Based on the 7 Series (E65) platform, the CS Concept features future design cues on BMW automobiles. The front fascia features the BMW trademark split-kidney grille, which is larger than previous BMW models and now integrated with the bumper. There are also turning indicators on the side. The headlights contain an "eyebrow". At the rear, the vehicle has rectangular tailpipes integrated in the bumper. The CS features a modified version of the [[BMW S85]] V10 engine with two more cylinders and an enlarged displacement of 6.0-litres.
The CS Concept is a fastback sedan that features many new innovations for BMW, such as door handles that only come out when sensors detect motion. It has dimensions slightly bigger than the [[BMW 7 Series (E65)]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.carbodydesign.com/archive/2007/04/21-bmw-cs-concept/ |title=Bmw CS Concept |publisher=Carbodydesign.com |date=2007-04-21 |accessdate=2011-11-22}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.leftlanenews.com/bmw-cs-concept.html |title=[Photos added] BMW Concept CS |publisher=Leftlanenews.com |date=2008-11-04 |accessdate=2011-11-22}}</ref>
