looks like the grill pieces have slipped down - it's horrible.

I'd take the z4 coupe over any of it's competitors. So much style is lost w/the rag top . . .

I think if it were in grey, it'd look like a dolphin or a whale or something. Not my favorite, but I'd take one if someone gave it to me, you know?

funny how you named two fish. the current Z4 is referred to as the "land shark". maybe they'll continue with seafood style.

the new 3 series coupe just doenst do much for me. the current styling is much better IMO it just looks a little too soft. I did the 6 series but the z6 look too stretched out. still a very nice looking car just not to my preference

The grill for some reason reminds me of the new accords with their T like style grills.... Other than that... German engineering ='s a simple stupid and mostly retarded name....

german engineering this, german engineering that!

Well f all that chit, because rotary is a better idea than what the rest of humanity believes in... Sorry for the venting on a relativy unrelated subject... But I love how humanity finds one idea and sticks with it to the death... If the world ran offa rotary engines, I'm sure by now with all the technology humanity has invested in convential combustion engines, we'd would probably have rotary engines with better mpg's than what any combustion engine could ever attain....

physics...

I thought it was going to be the new z2 or whatever the z4's little miata-competing-brother will be :-(

lol->nostrils Does this look like a computer generated image to anyone besides me?

Also, the pic of the 3 series vert looks wayyyy too much like a solara for my tastes

Maybe you and everyone else should actually read the link... This image has nothing to do with BMW and is the result of some computer geek sitting around dreaming up what it "could" look like.

Heh, I never said anything about it being bimmer's model, I just said I didn't like the nostrils and that it looked like a graphic. If I remmeber correctly the pics of the 3 were legit though...

edit: By 3 series I meant 6 I looked at the thumbnails and thought it was the 3series and it reminded me of the solara. We've established the z's images are just computer graphics...

"The computer images suggest how the new model could look like upon its launch."
