The E89 by a country mile. The designers had the advantage of being able to iron out some of the very strange quirks of the E85. The E86 isn’t a bad looking car but how owners of it can be critical of the E89 back end is beyond me. They either haven’t looked at their own asses recently or need a trip to Specsavers. The other problem is it’s a coupe which means it isn’t a proper sports car at all. The advantage of the E89 is that it can have the advantages of a coupe in poor weather but when the sun is shining you can enjoy the joy of top down motoring.

I know we E89 owners are outnumbered on this forum but some of us haven’t had the E85/E86 inoculation!

Given the average E89 wouldn't stand a chance of overtaking an E86, then I guess that's one ugly ass you're gonna have to get used to looking at

The profile is where it all goes wrong for the E89 - well that and every other angle

Colour has a lot of impact in this decision. IMO you can't beat the E85 M in Imola Red, the E86 in Alpine White, the E89 in Black Sapphire, the G29 in Dogsh*te Brown....

You’ve obviously had the inoculation, but not the eye test.

Famously true. Well done.

E85 and E89 on a sunny day with the roof off are also handsome beasts. I think the rear of the E85 E86 is better than the E89.The headlights on the E85 E86 do date the front ends a bit though. G29 will probably also be fine looking when it's viewed in the flesh. Horses and courses. No big deal. Move along, nothing to see here, etc etc.
OK, so I've got a Porsche 911 and an E86, and I think they BOTH are really good looking cars. If I want to drive topless I have the best convertible a Mazda Eunos Mk1.

Mrs G hates the Shape of the E86

Me I think the ///M Coupe is the best looking Z4. Just a shame you have to sit inside it to drive it.

As for the Mx5. Fun but sooooo slow. I hardly ever drive ours, unless I am out with her who loves them.

Unless the E89 was one of the many mapped 2.0i or 28i... or an average 35i.... or 35is

Still has a fat arse though puff,
The MK1 Z4 has the best rear end. Mods you may as well lock this now

I don't disagree Dibnah, I enjoyed mine but you have to be careful which angle you take pictures from

The E86 is a stunning car but soft top motoring is what I like and the Z4M is stunning from every angle

Has to be the original its a stunning looking car I had the cash to buy a face lift E85 Roadster but it had to be pre facelift with French fry taillights the birth of the Z4 the car I saw on a stand at Brands Hatch and never thought I would own one 3 years later and she still looks good after 11 years of ownership.
