Better than the beige colour I've seen most of the pics in so far. Still not sure on it, but then I really wasn't sure on the "old" Z4 at first either.

nice find mike

[IK.]

Looks better in black, but perhaps that's because black is hiding the lines? Very SLK looking, I'd say.

Two piece alloys with a chrome out lip!?

Will they never learn

[Wondermike]

Yep I posted the same thing after the spy pics came out last year, what are they thinking of

[chetalien]

Looks like an SLK. to me it doesnt do it for that reason coz i hate SLK. I didnt like z3, i lvoed Z4 and Z4 mk2- so far hasnt had the right vibes for me.

Definitely much more coherent in black. Why would they have the launch car in gold?

[DannyBoy]

Very very nice imo. I definately would (but need to drive one first and I fear only the twin turbo variant would do!)

Hello... orange peel

I can actually see you in one of these cars, Wondermike! When are you going to pull the trigger?

[Mr Whippy]

Indeed, orrannnggeeee peeeeel!

Compare that to a black E39 M5 or black M3 CSL, and BMW's painting really seems to be going down hill
