That's what BMW told us at Lake Como in May at Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. The vent is executed well and looks very nice in the metal.

Do you know if the vent is similar to the one currently seen on the 4-Series, or a whole new variation of it? |
It's a new variation of it. Its bigger than the one on the current 4 Series and with regards to the Concept 8 Series it leads in to two prominent body lines that run away from the AirBreather and terminates in the front of the rear quarter panel.
These two lines help air flow along the body of the car at speed for an elegantly aggressive function to aerodynamics. The new BMW design language is featured prominently on the Concept 8 Series.
Expect these features to be widely copied by other manufacturers because it makes the car look even more "athletic" in appearance, in base form and stunning in M Sport and real M GmbH form respectively.
So I see the Concept Z4 will offer a new interpretation of the AirBreather that started with the Concept 8 Series.
