It is a regularly recurring process: if a car manufacturer presents a new model, its predecessor generation often seems outdated and old-fashioned all of a sudden, even though there was no reason for complaint previously. This happens at a time when the model usually has already gone through more or less intense model care. Although this kind of "spontaneous aging" is rather below average for the first-generation-BMW Z4, JM Cardesign from Bergheim performed a very special kind of face-lifting on

Huge open-top¸ four-doors, elegant lines and enormous front hood? That’s right – Cadillac, but this time – Ciel Concept, which was introduced at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
