I think both the z3 and the Z4 pretty bad looking (except ironically the back half of the z4 coupe, which is really good looking.) I believe BMW had to raise the z4s hood for pedestrian safety and the result just looks absurdly phallic to me in profile.
The styling of those cars is just nails on chalkboard to a small minority of us, so I can see the author labeling them as misses. HOWEVER, I still think he’s wrong. as I said, we are a small minority. Mechanically the cars (especially the z4) are great and I honestly think they should be considered “hits” since the styling doesn’t bother most people. They’re true sports cars too, unlike the huge majority of M cars that have to share their platforms with more pedestrian vehicles.
