BMW 9-Series concept to make a surprise debut at Auto China

Could go into production in 2016

According to a recent report, BMW will introduce a 9-Series concept at Auto China.

Citing company insiders, Auto Motor und Sport says the mysterious concept will have a "new cockpit philosophy" that will eventually be used on next-generation 7-Series. The model is also rumored to preview a new flagship which could wear the 9-Series moniker.

Nothing is official but the magazine says the 9-Series will ride on the same platform that underpins the 2015 7-Series and the next-generation Rolls-Royce Phantom. The report goes on to say the model could be launched in 2016.
