The Z4 seems to be a car that has raw potential to be a great but is destined to die quietly (as was indicated in another article) because BMW chooses to limit its potential.
It has the looks to be desirable, the chassis to be entertaining and the refinement to be sophisticated, yet BMW has decided run with it in a middle of the road setting that it will never see a coupe or full M version.
Speaking from a car enthusiast (not sales or marketing) point of view, this strategy is something that killed it legacy and its future in the line up from the start.
