Watch for it when Z4 sales need fluffing up in a couple of years.

typically BMW also comes out with a LCI power bump and some styling modifications. Mid life cycle, cars also get updated idrive. So that's something to consider, but you'll have to wait about 3-4 years for the LCI.

And there is no guarantee that a LCI comes ... or that the car will be in production that long.
When I returned my prior Z4 I decided against getting another one because the new one was ‘right around the corner’... here we are, almost 4 years later. |

Doubt there will ever be an M model, best bet is M40i. Seems like the only reason we're actually getting a Z4 is because Toyota wanted to partner and pay for a good portion of it, if it weren't for them, I don't know if BMW would have resurrected the Z4.

Sales numbers will be awful for the Z4 because you can get the inline 6 and all the other BMW design attributes and hardware goodies in the Toyota for thousands less. And in Canada, the 6 cylinder Z4 will be around $100K after sales tax is applied, so it will sell like hairspray at a bald guy convention up here.

I'd wait a bit on getting the new Z. I just got a new G05 X5 with the new iDrive, Dig Dash, and Auto safety stuff the new Z4 will have. I can say it's very buggy. Check out the G05 forum. Yes, different cars by shape, but electronically will be very similar. I'd give BMW a year to work this stuff out. The new drive by wire steering makes you feel completely detached from the road. I don't mind it as much in an SUV, but will drive me crazy with a sports car. I'd like to replace my 2004 Z4 with a new one, but based on my G05 I'm waiting at least a year.
Just my $0.02
