I wouldn’t even mind these being the production ones. You do have to see something in them after all, which isn’t the case with the miniscule concept mirrors. I’d say this test vehicle looks promising, other than the lack of round exhaust pipes, something that can luckily be fixed.

Looks promising to me. A Z4 M Coupe with the new S58 would be a dream car. I'll keep dreaming

dont get your hopes up people. iv seen the production version. it looks nothing like the concept. Also BMW didnt even bother to make new unique side mirrors for the new z4, its same mirrors from the X1. In the Past the z4 had its own mirror design.

so what is pricing supposed to be on this? back to soft top, is it going to be in line with a 3 series again?
Z4 M40i with 355 horsepower (what X3 has) would be pretty awesome. looked up 2006 road test from CD on Z4M roadster, 330 hp 262 torque and 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, throw on 25 more HP and 100 more torque if the weight is even similar, this will be a fun car. BMW claims the heavy X3 is 4.6 seconds (granted thats with AWD). Merc SLC43 starts just above $60K, has to be competitive with that Last edited by Mako; 01-19-2018 at 02:45 PM.. |

Z4 pricing was NEVER inline with the 3 series. Z3 pricing were more inline with the E36 of the day, but the original soft-top E85 Z4 was easily $5,000-8,000 more than the equivalent E46 and E92 base model counterparts.

It wasn't even in line with E36. My 1997 Z3 2.8 was over $5,000 more than a 1997 328 equally equipped. My 2001 Z3 3.0i at $41,000 was about $7,000 more than a similarly equipped 330i.

It can never be a full BMW as under the skin it's a Toyota and BMW cannot even allow it to be assembled by BMW. Its a transvestite of a BMW/Toyota.
When will "spy photos" get dropped from headline news as these photos were taken on public roads. I will never buy a BMW vehicle designed and produced by a non BMW owned factory.

Agree, and I certainly hope they don't turn it into a slab-sided car like the current 7er is. The best part about the profile of the concept Z is that large scooping feature on side. I wonder if they'll ever offer a PHEV version of it, that's something I'd be interested in.

Meh is right even if it magically had a hardtop. I don't see this warranting all the hoopla and wait. Just another regular model.
Btw, the existing Z4 already paid homage to the 507. I dunno what this one's doing. |

I've been searching online (without luck) for body dimensions, esp. length.
Wishing for something sized midway between a Miata and a Cayman, but betting it'll be too big to get my attention.
