I think the Z4 is my least favorite of the Bangle designs, but that coupe is gorgeous. It's kinda TVR like.
Blueeyes, I wouldn't expect any checks if I were you. Unless they payout for examples of how not to design the Z4 coupe :p

given that I was using paint, and knowing my artistic capabilities, anyone could see that if I had access to the proper tools my version would look the exact same as bangles. Hence, SHOW ME THE MONEY!!

I really like this. I was thinking the same thing Ike, it screams TVR. I'm impressed with this, but I'd love to see it in action. C'mon Top Gear, get on it! :D

It's not that the coupe is any uglier than the convertible. The problem IMO is that the roof/hatch looks like it belongs to a different car compared to the rest of the design. It doesn't match the rest of the car.

Momentum Keeps Me Going
It's pretty - Everything is ok except two things IMO, one the sculpted sides - yuk - reminds me of a Ford Taurus - a triple yuk look car, and the 'tortose shell' look from the side front, that includes the scuplted side - looks like a shell is covering the car down to the headlamps and back over the top - a bit wierd.
Not that it's terrible - but these design cues detract from the rather attractive style and shape IMO, and they could not be there and it would look much, much cleaner, less fussy and heavy looking.

I can't put my finger on it exactly. It has lots of different lines through out the body, but still manages to look boring and plain I guess. That and it has the same front end style as every other BMW, which I have never liked.
