This video came up randomly on my phone earlier. My view is it’s a stunner. Welcome any views from fellow forumers

It might be the 2018 concept, but if that's closer to what the next gen Z4 is going to look like, instead of the lardy, confuzzled dogs dinner that the G29 turned out to be then sign me up.

It's highy likely bmw will drop the Zed once the G29 has finished it's production run in apparently 2025, and even if they made a new all electric car why wouid they use what wouid be by then an almost 10yr old design...? They wouldn't, car concepts move forwards, not backwards.

Well let’s just appreciate this lovely little video for what might have been then. Personally I like rhe G29 but agree it could have been a bit more radical. Its stablemate Supra seemed to get all the ‘rad’ juice thrown at it (IMO)

Personally I think it's the same old boring 'If it's got a cloth roof it's skip fodder as only tin top cars are any good' drone rolled out by all the journo's who obvs are all ex F1 drivers with multiple championships under their belts.... :roll: Same as the hairdresser thing... :yawn:

Can't get past the colour...:sick: . If they do it will they supply a pair of platform boots, a flowery shirt and some massive flares to complete the look?
Haven't seen a Gold car since the '70s (thank Christ).
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

You seem to be quite well-up on your knowledge of 70's mens fashion Ponderer!
Is that you on the left, in the middle, or on the right?
