Great looking car except for the wheels.

albeik · 01-11-2009, 12:42 PM

Nice! I like the wheels too...

Update: I just noticed how the top of the wheels are exposed when the hood is open. Pretty cool!!

pmeloche · 01-11-2009, 12:53 PM

I like the wheels too.

I am puzzled as to why they call it a MY 2010 when it's going to be available for the summer.

yea looks like the hood covers the entire width of the car.

Rick Hunter · 01-11-2009, 08:06 PM

Too many hood lines, just like in the refreshed 3er.

Apart from that and the HUGE grilles, I think this car is good to go!

It has 4 hood lines, just like your M Coupe.

ybbiz34 · 01-11-2009, 10:42 PM

Sign me up.

BCMPOWER · 01-11-2009, 10:45 PM

I think the new Z4 is beautiful, hopefully some time down the line they bring back the m version.

Count them again, my friend.

krnshinsa · 01-12-2009, 12:58 AM

Love it more and more every time I see it. Just make a M version and sign me up.

evoi19 · 01-12-2009, 01:01 AM

i may be the only one, but it doesn't wow me so much. While the hardtop is a nice feature, i'll miss the flared rear fenders that gave it such a distinct look. The new model seems to lack that unfortunately.

Ok, 6. The outer lines looked like they were one crease to me in the pic above.

Rick Hunter · 01-12-2009, 03:30 AM

IMHO, I think they could have dispensed with the 2 middle creases, as it makes the hood too busy looking and disrupts the flow. I really liked how the E85 Z4 had a smooth hood, and that the M's creases weren't intrusive to the look. The new mid-creases look good on X-Bimmers and not the rest of the lineup.

+1

The old Z4 looked quite short overall even though it had a big hood. The new Z4 looks long, smooth and 6-series like. I'm not sure I appreciate the 6 creases on the hood, especially the inner 2.

I'll have to see in real-life. Overall, this car looks great!

Deda · 01-12-2009, 05:22 AM

looks cool!

m3_love · 01-12-2009, 06:41 AM

I think BMW is going in the right direction with this one, I love it!

Scorpion · 01-12-2009, 11:06 AM

Looks really nice, ganna have to grab couple, don't know what was up with the flying dude though lol.

mPlasticDesign · 01-12-2009, 11:44 AM

I think when this car comes out it will be, with out a doubt, the nicest looking BMW in production....

Hampi · 01-12-2009, 03:00 PM

Does it come with an LSD (optionally)? Havent read anything about it...

Bobby_Light · 01-12-2009, 03:27 PM

That looks hot.

vortex_tuning · 01-12-2009, 03:45 PM

I'm not feeling the two hood lines projecting from the emblem. i honestly don't think the regular z4 can pull it off. They look a little corny...
