That blue looks flat as fook - in fact none of the colours are particularly appealing with that black top.

Glad I'm waiting for the Zupra.

Although I'll take one for the team and drive a demo M40i G29 for a couple of months if BMW want a comparison with a proper Z4.

Nice find! Are there any more pictures of them? I still haven’t seen a real world photo of a black M40i like mine apart from the configurator

Got the photo from my dealer who was at the event last week. I will ask him if he has any other photos showing the Black cars and get back to you. :driving:

Not seen from this angle before! Red car bonnet looks huge!

I thought it was a little shorter than E89 but this looks good!

The design still doesn't work for me. The front bumper with that black plastic thing looks a right mess. It almost looks like a Korean version of the beautifully simple Mercedes AMG GTC....

That black roof just looks awful and the black around the grill doesn't look much better. Apologies to those that have bought one I really do hope you enjoy it but for me its an absolute No No.

I'm not a fan of the styling, but to be fair the blue looks much better in the flesh on a bright day - the one they had at BMW in December when I went on the PistonHeads Sunday Service there was that colour.
