Look at the size of the kidneys - like a big wide smile. In the pic above (the red one), it jsut doesn`t look good but the silver one looks better with the roof down at least.

Looks like I`ll be sticking to the old Z4 for as long as I can

When I first saw the new Z4 last December, I didn't like it. Now, after seeing more images, and one in RED, it's looking much more appealing to me. Last month, before I knew the official launch date here in the states, I sent a email to my "client advisor" asking to let me know when they get a new one in. It's May 9th, and I haven't heard anything since he told me that he would let me know when they had one that I could drive.
Since I really enjoy my Z4 roadster, and have had it only for a couple of years and 17,000 miles, I thinking of a possible Euro Delivery next year.
After ditching the RFTs and getting Goodyear F1 Assymetric tires a couple of week ago, I just got a new car anyway.

You def need the big wheels! Those on the red car look way too small for the car! :?

Looks better in those shots than ones I've seen before, still more than happy with the current model though

I don't like the standard wheels on the red Z4. The silver Z4 with 19" wheels looks nice. :)

The blue Z4 with multi-spoke wheels on TV looks nice too.

That back end looks wrong to me a bit like AlfaRomeo they have superb mean looking front ends but the back end never seems to match only on a few models

They are standard 17 " on sDrive35i. BMW forces buyers to upgrade wheels. The gap between tyre and wheel arch is big.
