Leaked pictures of production Z4

Post by R60BBA » Wed Aug 15, 2018 9:41 pm

I saw them in Germany (albeit with the zebra wrap).

They look and sound great. Although the same engine as the M140i, they sound fruitier.

It looks quite short and dumpy but also quite tall in the pics as well.
It also looks like there are covers that will need to be installed/removed when putting the roof up and down like the E85.
I saw a YouTube video of an early preview, somehow it forms part of the roof, integrates with the back when retracted? Bit round the 3:40 mark on the video..

I'm upgrading my view from "looks quite good" to "oooohhh".

Hate to say it but I think the Supra looks better :tumbleweed:

There are elements that I like, one thing I can’t look passed is the headlights that look like they have been taken from the current facelift transit van :cry:

Looking at pictures like this, they look to me as though they're an integral part of the roof mechanism - just have to wait and see

Looks very E89-ish to me, can't say I like it that much so far. Am definitely more interested in the Supra at the moment

nope not a fan! front is very much fiat 124 and just doesn't have that "BMW" angry/aggressive face to it :/ but we'll see how it looks in real life. Right now, imo, supra looks better.

Hmmm, won't be getting my money. I'll bet they will be throwing crazy finance deals at these from the start. :thumbsdown:
