Still the new Z4 appears to be leagues above.
At 20k more it should be. I really like the Abarth 124

Agree, the right colour, trim and wheels make all the difference.

The BMW UK site actually has an error... the M Sport model has the 19” wheels with silver trim on the kidney grills, but to get the 19” wheels you need to add on the M Sport Plus package which includes the high gloss trim (black surround to the kidney grills), so it’s actually impossible to build the car below! :thumbsdown:

Yes, I noticed this as well. With 19” wheels, the choice of kidney grill colour on the new Z4 is pretty limited both on the M Sport sDrive 30i and the M40i. My preference would be a chrome grill on the M40i but I’m afraid BMW only allows either a Cerium Grey (Matt Silver) or Black kidney grill.

IMO I really think it looks good. I would love to see BMW make a Coupe version. From the pics I have seen of the Supra, I'm not so keen on it, but that's a coupe, so maybe BMW will do it.

:lol: right! I do wonder where the shark fin is on the US models though?

I think I would take the Z4, that looks too big and unwieldy for me. :driving:

Looks pretty sharp in San Francisco Red... 8)
Was shown as an ad on the ITV hub about a week before Christmas - didn't make me want to rush out and buy one though!
