New Z4

[JPB]

Hey all,
I just spotted this online. What does everyone think about the new Z4 design-wise? The front looks nice but I'm not entirely convinced it's moved on all that much from the e89 design, and feels a lot less curvy than the e85 original.

IMHO it’s a winner if it looks like the concept!

From what I can see on that link above, it looks a little toned down from the concept. Or is it just my eyes?

 

[IJSK]

Depends on how much camouflage it’s got on?

Design looks very save compared with concept.

Uninspiring, and faaaaaaaaaaaaaar too big.

If it’s performance and handling matches it’s looks it might forever dispel the “hairdresser” jokes that as a Zed owner I frequently receive!

No offence to hairdressers!

Oops sorry for the incorrect “its” - phone keeps changing!

It looks like an E85 with a crap body kit. BMW need to take their brave pills and go with the concept design, that would be a move forward in the right direction.

BMW can be brave - look at the gorgeous i8!

 

[JPB]

I totally agree - I was looking through concept designs earlier and the i8 really stands out among the rest of the cars. I think sticking with that concept they pitched would be fantastic. It may just be a case, as in most car production, of trying to please everyone. Too many cooks though...
I wonder how many customers will upgrade the bodywork to look more like the concept?

Unfortunately it does look quite a bit toned down from the concept.

Oh yeah! I'm not sure I like the coupe AT ALL. What the hell is going on with that roof? It looks like a cartoon ACME iron bar has fallen on it.

I think the coupe will be badged as a Toyota/Gazoo Supra!
