The BMW Concept Speedtop

• Exclusive three-door interpretation of a BMW Touring.
• Unique color and material concept.
• Limited-run small series for collectors and enthusiasts.
• Woodcliff Lake, NJ/Cernobbio – May 23, 2025… At the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2025, the renowned celebration of historic vehicles on the shores of Lake Como in Italy, BMW is presenting an exclusive new concept car that will subsequently be made available for purchase in a small series.

The BMW Concept Speedtop reimagines the sporty Touring, blending the elegance of a shooting brake with unique proportions.

“A true BMW exudes dynamism and elegance even when it’s standing still,” says Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Group Design. “And that’s also the case with our new concept car. The BMW Concept Speedtop is characterised first of all by its profile. It is very unique in the automotive industry. In this way, we have created an exclamation mark for our entire lineup of vehicles, especially for the Touring models.”

The generous interior invites weekend getaways for two. High-quality materials, the focus on every detail, and the stylistic connection between exterior and interior are testaments to its true craftsmanship.

The BMW Concept Speedtop shares its eye-catching form language with the BMW Skytop and will be offered to collectors and connoisseurs in a strictly limited small series.

Unique profile, dynamic proportions.

The pronounced V-shape of the front end, with its shark-nose design, the slim front lights, and the illuminated kidney grille give the BMW Concept Speedtop an unmistakable presence.

The continuation of the central spline from the bonnet over the roof to the rear spoiler gives the car a dynamic Touring profile. The color gradient on the roof, moving from “Floating Sunstone Maroon” to “Floating Sundown Silver”, accentuates this shape. The athletic design is enhanced by the car’s broad shoulders. Its elegance is underscored by two-tone, 14-spoke wheels, which have been designed specifically for the BMW Concept Speedtop.

Luxurious craftsmanship.

The interior of the BMW Concept Speedtop was designed with a strong focus on even the smallest detail. Skillfully crafted, traditional brogue-style details accentuate the leather-trimmed surfaces and emphasize the manufactory-level craftsmanship on display.

The two-tone color and material contept creates a connection between the exterior and interior. The sparkling brown tone of the “Floating Sunstone Maroon” exterior paint is carried over into the interior. Here, the brown “Sundown Maroon” world harmonizes with the light “Moonstone White” of the seats. The two-tone leather upholstery divides the dynamic and functional areas of the interior. The visually striking roof spline on the exterior is mirrored as a light beam in the two-tone leather headliner, providing atmospheric, indirect illumination.

The trunk is also leather-covered and refined with brogue-style perforations. A light beam illuminates the luggage compartment, which is divided into two sections. This allows large items of luggage to be stowed inside for multi-day trips. The elaborate craftsmanship of the exterior and interior was realized with the expertise of the Manufactory workshop at the BMW Group plant in Dingolfing.

The virtuosity in the design of the BMW Concept Speedtop is further enhanced through the collaboration with the traditional Italian manufacturer Schedoni. Known for the production of exclusive and high-quality leather goods by hand, expecially in the automotive sector, Schedoni has always stood for the highest quality and customization.

Two storage areas with leather straps behind the seats provide space for two of Schedoni’s made-to-measure bags. The bags were designed exclusively for the Concept to fit in with its color and material concept. A matching weekend bag can also be accommodated in the trunk.

Most powerful V8 in the portfolio and limited-run small series.

The concept car’s engine ensures it scales the heights not only in terms of design, but also performance. It is fitted with the most powerful V8 engine currently offered by BMW.

“Last year, the presentation of the BMW Concept Skytop at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este on Lake Como generated great enthusiasm among connoisseurs and atuomotive enthusiasts,” says Bernd Körber, Senior Vice President BMW Brand and Product Management. “This led to a strictly limited production run of 50 units. Thanks to this positive response, this year we have decided to also offer the BMW Concept Speedtop in a limited production series of 70 units. This extraordinary vehicle is now available for order. We are pleased to be able to offer collectors and enthusiasts another exclusive model.”

This thing is actually sick. Gorgeous design.

I really like the design. I'm not sure why BMW creates these beautiful concepts and then when it comes to production, we get the grilles of the M3/M4/M5...

[Applescruff619]

Interior looks dated with that older idrive. They should have removed the plastic around the shifter that looks identical in nearly every bmw

[GuyOh]

My only complaint is i wished it had more of a traditional holfmeister kink

[RichP]

How did BMW go and make a boring looking shooting brake?

Id take a standard 8 series or 8GC..

Kudos to them for still pushing wagon styles

I’ll take it over another damn SUV/SAV, that’s for sure

[M3AWD]

OK great... let's make a cool car for collectors

Make it a 3500 lbs sports car with an S58 and then call me.

[hrf]

Nice but absolutely does not worth $400K

[wdeerfield]

They must have a lot of spare 6er interior parts laying around that they’re trying to sell.

[Seba77W]

Looks good. I’m probably going to order it.

They essentially put an 8 series interior in it. Almost identical.

I tried to find it but does it say it's 400,000 somewhere in the writing?

[Msparta]

Imagine bmw producing true to art beautiful vehicles in the dozens, limited run only to mass produce ugly ducks in droves.

You don’t have to imagine. This is what’s happening.

[scLA]

I don’t get why BMW is building new concept cars with iDrive7 instead of the larger screen iDrive 8. It’s hard to seem “futuristic” when you’re using 4 yr old tech.

I agree wholeheartedly

For the car to be special it needs bespoke interior to go with the rest of the car

But the target buyer will not even care

[BMthusiast]

Alright, alright, diggin it. Can this be the new design language across the board please?

[X7 Recruit]

“Limited-run small series for dilettantes and rich asshats.”

Sorry, but back seats specifically built for matching purses? Speaking as someone who has owned a Panamera Sport Turismo and is looking at the GTC4Lusso… hard pass.

Edit: At the rumoured $500,000 price - I’d have to ask what they’re smoking in Munich.

I wish the grille was 3x bigger. This looks dated😂 (Said no true BMW enthusiast, ever)
