I'm all for new and fresh but still think this did it better. Looks more athletic and agile oh and cleaner..... new designs lately are just getting so busy it's sad. Or we're just getting desensitized to classic design and need 1000 lines jetting everywhere to feel satisfied ! And the first z was also raked over the coals for being a less clean design but compared to new cars lately it's an open canvas !

[gds52]

I want to love it....but it has got all weird lines...there is no ratio.....headlights, front bumper and grill are out of sync. I'm all about change, but this is more like civic Type R design category

[CeEl]

I like it. Want to have one. Wouldn't be surprised if they work a bit on the front until October. Exterior color makes or breaks the car IMHO. There is a video of a matte grey on YouTube that looks great - albeit inside, in a studio, with perfect lighting.


Are these ultrasonic sensor in the front in different colors? One looks silver, the other one black? Did they run out of all black when they were assembling these pre-production (or production?) prototypes?

Is that a BMW...?

[Sodhi16]

Fiat?

that's the worst looking bm since the bangle years. reminds me of 'the homer'... just a bunch of stuff thrown together. zero cohesion. wtf.

[Colinv6]

My biggest criticism with the Z4 and one that I’m surprised to have not already read, is that the wheelbase appears too short for the design of the car. The front and rear overhands seem to be equal length which looks odd and takes away from the sporty look in my eyes.

I also agree that the previous gen, still looks super fresh even today.

[Desmo85]

Can someone with Photoshop skill swap the chickenfence with proper kidneys?

[Art__Vandelay]

In general it looks quite good, but they failed with the headlights. They aren't agressive at all and I don't see much BMW in it.

[Dynamike]

Look here - much better in silver ��

[Tallest]

Looks fat and heavy. Looks like Mercedes too. Blame the regulations. Stupid to make rules strict on low vol cars. Make ugly mass produced cars be safe, these cars dont need this cut off high noses etc.

Interior game is on though. Catching up to Audis, still behind Teslas.

Z8 had the look right. Look at it! Perfect.

As Z4 Coupe ex-owner ca 2007 I would agree!! I think all current petrol-diesel cars are obsolete and you should buy what looks nicest, not newest. I dont need a calendar car, that tells me its 2018 outside. I dont need their sh.tty low res screens for 3000 dollars also, which are obsolete in 3 years. Im fine with analog dials. Im fine with a nice lines of porsche 997 and dont need a youtube dbag tell me how newer 991 is dope etc. in 10 years all goes electric, and everything you have on forum here is obsolete and junk. So whats the point buying a brand new petrol engined car? zero unless youre current one is falling apart and you must have it and cant stretch to something hybrid etc. BMW really needs to offer all cars as hybrids at the very least. Its a joke Tesla is around 10 years now and Toyota making hybrids since 2001. BMW still pushes this petrol only crap on us, and we are silly to be buying it. They are decorating a dead end cave. Cars like this new Z4 and 8 series are super pointless.

[johndeere]

Is this a Fiat, a Mazda or a Kia? It's the least BMW looking BMW of all BMWs. Ugly as $%^&



Terrible front-end. Lexus ass looking ass. It's like they slapped 5 cars together to create this Sauerjunk.

[E9TOU]

I really don't like that front end. It's not terrible looking, it just doesn't look good after BMW showed us the beautiful looking concept last year. The interior looks great though! I'm so happy BMW is doing a better job at integrating the HUD with the dash so that it doesn't look like a tacked on iPad.

[Vector Pilot]

Nice but over done.

Not everyone wants electric cars. If I had a tesla I'd never make it across my state in under 8 hours. No way you can do a Pittsburgh to Philadelphia without waiting for the car to charge at least once. Americans will only begin to embrace electric cars when range no longer becomes an issue. Until then I will continue buying cars powered by an IC engine. BTW electric cars are far from green cars that the media would like us to believe. Lithium mining and processing is horrible for the environment. Add to the fact coal is still king when it comes to electricity production (in most parts of the world). You are literally driving a coal consuming car. Hybrids are even worse for the environment. Burns gas but still has that lithium battery in it.

Sure one can compare coal mining to mining heavy metals that are used in batteries. While neither are good for mother nature; coal doesn't have to travel to multiple plants and factories before its consumed. The tesla gigafactory just doesn't bring in mined lithium and throw it in a metal box and say "shabam we have a battery." I can't even imagine the distance that mined lithium travels before its processed and ultimately used in a car battery.

BMW has lost its mystique in their exterior designs/styling with most of their new vehicles (in every lineup)

[BaaQaf]

Im simply not digging this new Z4, waiting to see the Supra version. To add my current 2012 E89 Z4 35i M-Sport with the N54 is 6MT So that is going to be hard to let go.

[yousefnjr]

Going to check her out tomorrow. I like the look more than I did a week ago, but the side vents are a little Chrysler Crossfire imo. The black inserts in the front bumper aren’t my cup of tea either.

E85 owners will notice that the car now comes with the side covers for the canvas top, lol

[Bemo]

Hm, Mitsubishi figured out this front end 6 years ago and their hood line was better!

The instrument panel is a total cluster fcuk. What happened with maintaining classic analog gauges?

I'm sure the electric steering feedback reaches dead fish levels.

Major fail...

[rexus300]

Nothing original or exciting about this messed up car. Glorified Kia or Fiat.
