Leaked pictures of production Z4

Just noticed the clamshell bonnet. That is pretty cool.

Some clever chap from Bimmerpost photoshopped the leaked pics, gave it a perspective correction and overlaid it to a photographic back ground, I like the rear end, looks like a modern day Z8!

Does the E89 not have this already?

The wheelbase looks a bit short when seen from side on...

I dunno, does it? You tell me.

doesn't look particularly exciting sad times.

Not a fan...and what’s more worrying is that’s the suped up top of the range version. God knows how dull the lower end ones will look.

The new MX5 looks better to me...

They’ve obviously seen my grilles with the, as some called it, chicken wire and basically copied me!

That ‘new’ picture of the front end is f***ing ugly. Like Susan Boyle smashed in the face with a shovel ugly. I really, really hope it doesn’t look like that. Sorry.

Too much Japanese influence in the styling - more Honda Civic Type R than BMW unfortunately.

The E89 has a bonnet that looks very like that one that curves over he top of the wings.
I thought a clam shell bonnet was one that the full front end opened with lights, bumper etc attached

Don't see enough differences to make me want to swap

When you think what they could have come up with, a mix of the current Z4 and the i8 perhaps with a hybrid engine. Now that would have been worth changing for. Will wait a year or two and go for a second hand i8 roadster

I like the shape of the car and the rear of the car. (it looks quite short and square again, not sure what the exact lenght/width ratio is though)
But I think its a pity that they didnt continue the classic dual headlight arrangement that has been such an iconic bmw design element, and that it doesnt have proper angel eyes.
In the front headlight there is a 2nd light but arranged more above it, which messes up the distictive look bmw's have had for the last 35 years or so.
I'd rather have that it had more of the new 8 series headlights, which makes the front look more bmwesque/more aggressive:

S2000 2019!

Think I'd rather buy an E89 and a few folk will know what I think of them.


981 Boxster S next time for me.

Are they deliberately showing bad pictures of it to cover up how it really looks?
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.
