Yep. Be nice to see some press pics with a different colour though, and with a different interior too.

Still think it looks 'odd' with the roof up - too long at the front.

A few nice pics there though

After taking the real thing out for a test drive and in the process of getting my order together - it's right what you guys are saying, the car looks much better in the flesh. Pictures never seem to do the new Z4 justice.

This is our provisonal specification:

Z4 sDrive 35i
Black Sapphire
Coral Red Kansas Leather

Options:
V-Spoke Style 296 19" Wheels
Adaptive "M" Suspension
Comfort Access
Wind Deflector
Exterior Mirrors - Auto Dimming & Folding
Sports Seats
High Beam Assist
Nav System Professional
USB Interface


General opinion? I don't think we've gone crazy with the options, only having things that I know I will enjoy, or have had before and now couldn't do without!

It brings it to about 45K on the road. I know it makes it pricey but it means I will be getting exactly what I want. At the moment there isn't anything else out there that fits the bill so perfectly.

Fabric roof like the old one and I think it'd look much nicer.

Also a tad lower. It also REALLY need those wheels to not look stupid.

Sounds like a pretty decent spec to me, only thing m aybe is PDC and Bluetooth but that's about it.
