The name is different!
I don't think you are going to find it out in this way!

Indeed different. That particular name I'd never figured out!
But there are positve news: some front pics are available!
And some additonal info, too: the car was designed by Austrian Felix Gmachmeir whose company was named "G-Design". (not that bad for an Austrian... ;D )
1975 it was shown in Tokyo and Geneve and later sold to jeweller Cartier. Nothing is known about its whereabouts today.

Is Viersitzer a part of a model name, too? I mean, as far as I understand it means 'four seater'.
Yes, ans thanks for great pictures of the front end :)

I'd like to know the second word on the wall underneath "Gmachmeir". Maybe it had a certain designation.
I doubt it was called "Viersitzer". (faksta is correct, it simply means four-seater)

As far as I understood, the second word is 'Design', as in one of the files I've got while searching for the name, the company was called Gmachmeir Design (although there it was said to be German).

I've just unearthed some more info on Gmachmeir. He was Austrian but worked out of Munich, having previously been employed in Audi's design department. In 1975, just after presenting his Ro80 coupe at Geneva, he was said to be working on a four-seater Lamborghini for launch in 1976, and was working on a new Zele for Zagato.

Still searching for the very obscure Gmachmeir BMW. I know only one fuzzy 3/4 rear view of an old card game.

Yes! But I've never seen a front view of this car. I've found a dead link that should show an old b+w newspaper scan, that's all!
