I bought one a month ago knowing about the new model.
Preference for teh rag top any day. Folding tin top is a compromise. I'd rather have the rag top to complement my other cars, not try to beat them all at all uses.
Might wish for a 335tt engine one day but more than happy with the 3.0i.
Bangle's first iteration of the Z4 is the best (in my view).

nope- still love my car-the new one will be compromised version. The looks will grow on me admittedky but not enough to tempt me ooutta my z before Im ready. Gaza62 why you got the calibra as your profile pic (always wondered!)
There will always be a new car launched and rarely is it better. Usually bigger, heavier and more toys, but rarely better. If often seems they refine the character out.
My personal experience is my X5. A new model has come out and I still love mine. Wouldn't change it for the more expensive new brother.

I think Nissan did it right with their new Zed. It's smaller, and more powerful and refined.
BMW should have kept the size or shrunk their next gen back to Z3 size. At this point in time, I would not consider the next Zed.

Was my pride and joy for over 9 years until i bought the Z4 would not have kept it that long but got into the showing the car a little and there was nothing i really liked and could afford plus i wanted something very special as a replacement was looking at Supras but then realized i could afford the Z and never looked back.
The Z4 as you can imagine is a big big step up from a 1993 8v Auto Calibra still with OEM casstte player
Not bad looking for an old Vauxhall http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=43066
looks great- never a fan but can understand the holding ontoo it. I had a lil fiesta for a few years and it was immaculate- a friend of mine still runs it as a second car!
Just like with computers-if you wait for latest and greatest, you'll never own one. I've had my coupe a year now and I'm as happy now as the day I bought it. 3 model years of production with only about 1 in a hundred are coupes. Figure I got a unique ride...... 
I think BMW will be ashamed when they realize how ugly it is.
IMO the Z4 is or will become a classic and will look good in the future much like the XKE still does.... 
I'm a member of the Eastern PA ZSCCA and about 1/2 of the members drive Z3's and some of those Z3's are around 10 years old now. They still look great and those members with Z3's have no interest in something else...

I would have to agree with the majority of the responses so far. My Z4 makes me smile every time I take it out for a spin.
The only thing BMW could do to tempt me is to make a smaller and faster version of the Z4...for example, use the V8 414 bhp engine, OEM CSL 19 inch wheels
and lower the price by 10 - 15% :evil:

The 'reliable TVR' would be fun
Not that I would entertain buying a new car while the current financial mess is going about.
From what I've seen of the new car it looks nothing like the current coupe.
One of the many things that I really like about my car is the way it looks and the fact it is a coupe. So, no, I won't be ashamed at all (unless, perhaps, they bring out an even better coupe version 
)
