BMW Designed 787 VIP Business Jet
The design was approached with a fictitious Russian client in his mid-thirties in mind who "spends a significant amount of time traveling across the globe and needs an aircraft that function as a second home."
The end result is an ultra-luxurious interior that looks more like a nightclub than a 787. I was really wishing that strip of glass in the center of the floor looked out of the plane's belly and into the sky, but it looks like it just offers a glimpse into the 3-series BMW garage. Oh well. More pictures after the jump.

BMW designed jet, that would make a business private jet hire experience seemless from car to jet!

I'm a little curious how "JOE BLACK" could tell what floor panels are structural, from looking at an artist's rendering made years before the first prototype ever took flight, of the first airliner built primarily of new composite materials. Or that a transparent material is glass.
I was at Boeing for a few years of the 787 project, including the same time as the above mock-ups were made. If you knew details of the structural performance of this aircraft back then, you knew more than me or any of my coworkers did!

In all of my 23 years of aircraft interior engineering I have never seen such a pile of rubbish.
I do not know what is worse, to have a supposedly knowledgeable design firm come up with a design that has no earthly way to be completed or certified (ie: replacing structural floor panels with glass, removing primary structure to have an upper and lower sitting area, etc., to name a few) or having media companies publish their designs.
